Last year’s Galaxy S23 Ultra was one of the best phones ever released. It was the first product we ever inducted into the BTTR Hall of Fame. We rated it a full 10/10 in our review.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is better in almost every way.

It is blazingly fast. Its camera system is ridiculously good, with photos that look absolutely fantastic. The screen is spellbinding.

The AI features Samsung has incorporate into the phone all work pretty well, though I found I had to remind myself to try them, given a lot of them were buried within menus.

But importantly, the AI features don’t detract from the overall experience of this phone. It’s not perfect, but you also don’t have to use it.

Which makes it easy to state that the S24 Ultra is the best phone money can buy right now.
