Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (2025 Review): Still Android’s King — Or Time to Upgrade?

So here’s the big question everyone’s asking: is the Galaxy S24 Ultra still worth buying in 2025, or should you just skip and grab the shiny new S25 Ultra (or even an iPhone 16 Pro Max)?

I’ve been keeping tabs on this phone since launch, and I’ll be honest with you — it’s still one of the best Androids out there. But is it still the king? Let’s walk through it together.

Quick Take (Straight to the Point)

Get the S24 Ultra if:

You find a sweet deal online or at your local store.

You’re fine with last year’s flagship that still packs crazy performance and cameras.

You want Galaxy AI features without spending S25 Ultra money.


Go for the S25 Ultra if:

You need the absolute latest performance and camera tweaks.

You’re curious about the newest Galaxy AI extras.

You hate “good enough” battery and charging speeds.


Pros: amazing 200MP camera, solid titanium build, S Pen, Galaxy AI, updates for years.
Cons: charging feels slow in 2025, it’s a bit heavy, and the S25 Ultra edges it in performance.

Design & Display: Still a Beauty
When Samsung dropped the titanium frame and Gorilla Armor glass on the S24 Ultra, it felt like overkill. But here we are in 2025, and this phone still looks and feels premium.

The screen? A 6.8-inch AMOLED panel that’s ridiculously sharp, super bright, and buttery smooth at up to 120Hz. Honestly, put it next to the S25 Ultra and you won’t really see much difference.

Verdict from me: still top of the line.

Camera: The 200MP Showstopper
The 200MP main camera still turns heads. Daylight shots? Packed with detail. Night shots? Solid, though the Pixel 9 Pro might edge it slightly in low light.

The zoom game is strong too — 3x and 10x optical zoom are crisp, and while Samsung loves shouting about “100x Space Zoom,” the truth is, 30x is where it looks best.

Plus, those AI editing tricks — like erasing strangers in your beach photos or cleaning up a messy background — still feel futuristic.

Verdict: if you love taking photos, you won’t feel left behind with this phone.

Performance & Gaming: Still a Powerhouse
Under the hood is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy, and trust me, it still flies. Apps open instantly, multitasking is smooth, and gaming is buttery.

I tried games like Genshin Impact and Call of Duty Mobile — they run great. Sure, if you compare it side by side with the S25 Ultra, the new chip is a tad snappier, but for everyday life? You won’t notice.

Verdict: no slouch, even in 2025.

Battery & Charging: Holding Up, But Not the Fastest

The S24 Ultra packs a 5,000mAh battery, and it’s still a full-day phone without stress. Light users can squeeze two days out of it.

Charging, though, is where it feels dated. 45W wired is decent, but plenty of 2025 phones are pushing 65W or even 100W. If you’re used to plugging in for a quick top-up, you might wish it charged faster.

Verdict: good, but not exciting anymore.

Galaxy AI & Software: Future-Proof
This is where Samsung pulled ahead in 2024, and it still feels fresh now. You’ve got:
