Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra still earns perfect scores two years later

Reviewer Rita El Khoury of Android Authority says the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, released in 2024, continues to feel like a brand‑new flagship in 2026. The device’s design and build quality remain premium, and its Gorilla Armor glass survived a fall from a stairwell without any cracks or scratches.

Performance benchmarks show the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip still matching or surpassing newer processors, delivering swift app launches and fluid multitasking. In head‑to‑head tests, the S24 Ultra scored higher than Google’s Pixel 10 Pro XL across CPU, GPU and thermal performance, despite the Pixel being a newer model. The screen’s brightness and color accuracy also remain comparable to current high‑end phones.

Overall, the review highlights the phone’s durability, sustained software support, and competitive hardware as reasons it still merits a “10‑point” rating, making it a compelling purchase even two years after launch.
