This year’s (2024) Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra not only has built-in AI unlike anyother smartphone, ever, it is also the best travel companion you can own.

On a trip to Kenya, East Africa I left with a Galaxy S24 Ultra in my pocket, thanks to Samsung NZ.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra has some killer camera specs. I wont go over in detail, as we reviewed the phone a few months back, but to summarise you’ve got 200 MP wide as your main lens, a 10 MP telephoto, 50MP periscope telephoto), and 12 MP and super steady video recording up to 8K with the rear camera array.

Not too mention x100 zoom.

So I knew that I was set for a professional quality series of snaps as I travel about.

But also, I wondered how the Galaxy S24 Ultra would endure between charges. The smartphone has a 5000mAh battery and when I reviewed the device I was able to get one to two days without needing a charge. But the adventure I was about to set off on I knew there would be moments where I may have to go a few days without charging.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and me headed out in to the heart of Kenya, where the wildlife roam and own the lands… and you are prey.

From the base of Mount Kenya to the reserves, the journeys were long but well worth it.

From close-up snaps to using the x100 zoom the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra performed and really showed why this device is the king of all mobile photography.

The sheer performance never let me down and surprisingly, given that I was I snap-happy tourist, neither did the battery with me squeezing two days from a single full charge (yep I did take a battery pack everywhere incase, but only needed to use it once).

Catching extreme detail in non-zoom photo’s, the ones where I had to use the zoom function still turned out, even to my surprise, fully rich with striking vividness.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra honestly blew away my expectations on all fronts, especially the camera and while there were other tourists taking pics with giant digital cameras and some seriously looking professional large lenses, I was there with a professional grade camera that I could put in my pocket.

Another feature of the Galaxy S24 Ultra is the live translation.

Being in a country where English is not the first language, and being remote most of the time where English is not spoken at all, using the translation function from Swahili to English and vice versa helped. It wasn’t perfect to be honest, but a very helpful tool to have on hand. I managed to get by without embarrassing myself.

Whether you’re about to set off on a wild adventure, or just looking for a smartphone that to use back at home that is going to give you the highest quality pictures to the likes of a professional studio, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is definitely the smartphone to have.

It will keep up with you, whether you’re traveling internationally, locally… or somewhere as far off as East Africa, it’s the perfect all-rounder and most definitely ensures that your holiday memories are captured as they happened, as you remember them in crystal clarity and utmost detail.

No phone right now has the camera chops that the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has.

Samsung has just unveiled the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24, unleashing new mobile experiences with Galaxy AI.

Galaxy S series leads the way into a new era that will forever change how mobile devices empower users. AI amplifies nearly every experience on Galaxy S24 series, from enabling barrier-free communication with intelligent text and call translations, to maximising creative freedom with Galaxy’s ProVisual Engine, to setting a new standard for search that will change how Galaxy users discover the world around them.

“The Galaxy S24 series transforms our connection with the world and ignites the next decade of mobile innovation,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics.

“Galaxy AI is built on our innovation heritage and deep understanding of how people use their phones. We’re excited to see how our users around the world empower their everyday lives with Galaxy AI to open up new possibilities.”

Galaxy AI introduces meaningful intelligence aimed at enhancing every part of life, especially the phone’s most fundamental role: communication. When you need to communicate defying language barriers, Galaxy S24 makes it easier than ever.

Chat with a student or colleague from abroad. Book a reservation while on vacation in another country. It’s all possible with Live Translate, two-way, real-time voice and text translations of phone calls within the native app. No third-party apps are required, and on-device AI keeps conversations completely private.

With Interpreter, live conversations can be instantly translated on a split-screen view so people standing opposite each other can read a text transcription of what the other person has said. It even works without cellular data or WiFi.

For messages and other apps, Chat Assist can help perfect conversational tones to ensure communication sounds as it was intended: like a polite message to a colleague or a short and catchy phrase for a social media caption. AI built into Samsung Keyboard can also translate messages, emails and more in real-time in 13 languages.

In the car, Android Auto will automatically summarise incoming messages and suggest relevant replies and actions, like sending someone an ETA, so you can stay connected while staying focused on the road.

Organisation also gets a big boost with Note Assist in Samsung Notes, featuring AI-generated summaries, template creation that streamlines notes with pre-made formats, and cover creation to make notes easy to spot with a brief preview.

For voice recordings, even when there are multiple speakers, Transcript Assist uses AI and Speech-to-Text technology to transcribe, summarise and even translate recordings.

Communication isn’t the only way Galaxy S24 takes the fundamental benefits of the phone into the future. Online search has transformed nearly every aspect of life. Galaxy S24 marks a milestone in the history of search as the first phone to debut intuitive, gesture-driven Circle to Search with Google.

To give Galaxy users an incredible new tool, Galaxy turned to the worldwide leader of search, Google, and opened up new forms of discovery with a simple gesture. With a long press on the home button, you can circle, highlight, scribble on, or tap anything on Galaxy S24’s screen to see helpful, high-quality search results.

If you see a beautiful landmark in the background of your friend’s social media post, or a surprising fun fact on YouTube Shorts, you can quickly learn more – without having to leave the app that you’re in. And depending on where you are, for certain searches, you’ll be able to see generative AI-powered overviews that provide helpful information and context pulled together from across the web, and ask more complex and nuanced questions. It’s that easy. And that epic.

Galaxy S24 series’s ProVisual Engine 9 is a comprehensive suite of AI-powered tools that transform image capturing abilities and maximise creative freedom every step of the way, from setting up a shot all the way to sharing it on social. Gone are shaky, pixelated images taken from far away.

Galaxy S24 Ultra’s Quad Tele System, with new 5x optical zoom lens, works with the 50MP sensor to enable optical-quality performance at zoom levels from 2x, 3x, 5x to 10x 10 magnification thanks to Adaptive Pixel Sensor. Images also show crystal clear results at 100x with enhanced digital zoom.

With upgraded Nightography capabilities, photos and videos shot on Galaxy S24 Space Zoom are brilliant in any conditions, even when zoomed in.

Capture more light in dim conditions with Galaxy S24 Ultra’s larger pixel size, now 1.4 μm, which is 60% bigger compared to the previous model. Blur is reduced on Galaxy S24 Ultra with wider optical image stabiliser (OIS) angles and enhanced hand-shake compensation. When recording videos, both front and rear cameras are equipped with Dedicated ISP Block for noise reduction, and Galaxy S24 analyses gyro information to distinguish between the filmer’s movement and the subject’s.

This allows more effective noise removal and clear videos in the dark, even from far away.

After great shots are captured, innovative Galaxy AI editing tools enable to make simple edits like erase, re compose, and remaster photos. For easier and more efficient optimisations, Edit Suggestion uses Galaxy AI to suggest the perfectly suitable tweaks for each photo.

To give users even more creative control and freedom, Generative Edit can fill in parts of an image background with generative AI. When a picture is crooked, AI will fill in the borders. When an object needs to be slightly moved to be in the perfect position, AI lets users adjust the position of the subject and generates a perfectly blended background in its original spot. Anytime Galaxy S24 deploys generative AI to amplify an image, a watermark will appear on the image and in metadata. And if an action-packed video needs to be slowed down, new Instant Slow-mo can generate additional frames based on movements to smoothly slow down action-packed moments for a more detailed look.

To ensure every image stuns at every stage, Super HDR reveals lifelike previews before the shutter is ever pressed. And while capturing memories is an essential phone feature, sharing memories with the world is just as meaningful. Now, third-party social apps make the most of Galaxy’s AI-powered camera system. Premium Galaxy S series camera features now integrate directly with mobile apps, like Instagram, in HDR to level up social sharing.

When it’s time to find an image in Gallery or on your go-to social app, photos are also shown in Super HDR for a more lifelike range of brightness, colour and contrast by analysing highlighted section of the images.

As AI becomes a more prominent part of everyday life, performance power must excel to meet the demands; Gaming. Heavy-duty video recording and editing. Jumping between five apps as you plan a trip. Whatever the task, Galaxy S24 provides an incredible experience thanks to enhancements in its chipset, display and more.

Every Galaxy S24 Ultra is equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile. Platform for Galaxy. Optimised especially for Galaxy users, this chipset delivers remarkable NPU improvement for incredibly efficient AI processing. In all three Galaxy S24 models, 120 Hz adaptive refresh rates also improve performance efficiency.

Galaxy gaming is more powerful thanks to hardware and software improvements. Galaxy S24 Ultra boast an optimal thermal control system with a 1.9 times larger vapour chamber, improving device surface temperature while also maximising sustained performance power. Ray tracing enables life- like visuals with superior shadow and reflection effect. And through collaboration with industry-leading gaming partners, Galaxy S24 let users enjoy more optimised popular global mobile games.

Visuals are more vibrant and captivating on the brightest Galaxy display ever. Galaxy S24 reaches 2,600nit peak brightness and delivers improved outdoor visibility with Vision Booster.

On the display, Corning Gorilla Armour in Galaxy S24 Ultra is optically enhanced and demonstrates superior durability against damage caused by every day scratches. It delivers dramatically reduced reflection by up to 75% in a wide range of lighting conditions, ensuring a smooth, comfortable viewing experience.

Across the Galaxy S24 series, design enhancements with slimmer and even bezels make it easier to immerse in any viewing experience and enable larger screen sizes on Galaxy S24+’s 6.7-inch and Galaxy S24’s 6.2-inch displays within the same size specifications. Galaxy S24 Ultra has a 6.8-inch flatter display, optimised not just for viewing but also for productivity.

Plus, Galaxy S24+ now supports the same level of QHD+ found on Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Secured by Samsung Knox, Galaxy’s defence-grade, multi-layer security platform, Galaxy S24 safeguards critical information and protects against vulnerabilities with end-to-end secure hardware, real-time threat detection and collaborative protection.

The Knox Matrix vision of a secure, connected and password-less future is also advanced with passkeys. Passkeys enable convenient and secure access to a users’ registered websites and apps across all their trusted devices through digital credentials, helping protect against phishing attacks. Enhanced Data Protection offers end-to-end encryption when users backup, sync or restore their data with Samsung Cloud, allowing Galaxy S24 users to connect to other devices while staying synchronised and secure. This ensures the data can only be encrypted or decrypted on a user’s devices, meaning nobody can see it but the user, even if a server is compromised or account details are stolen. And if access to a trusted device is lost, a recovery code can help prevent loss of data.

Galaxy S24 is also protected with Samsung’s expansive list of innovative security and privacy features including Knox Vault, Security & Privacy Dashboard, Auto Blocker, Secure Wi-Fi, Private Share, Maintenance Mode and more.
