The Galaxy S24 Ultra has landed at the top of the best Android phone rankings, and for good reason — the new Galaxy AI features put artificial intelligence to practical use in ways that speed up everyday tasks. Add that to some standout hardware like powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 silicon and a superior camera setup, and you've got one of the best phones around.
But the Galaxy S24 Ultra is also a pretty expensive device. Its starting price of $1,299 is the most you'll pay for a phone that doesn't fold in two. As great as the Ultra may be, no one would blame you for looking at more affordable alternatives.
