I've been living with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra for this review for a whole week now – and ever since I pulled the 2024 flagship out of its neatly appointed box I've honestly been enamoured by it. It's only taken a matter of days to convince me that this is likely the best Android phone you'll be able to get your hands on in 2024, simply because it does so much so very well – with a handful of minor drawbacks here and there.
While last year's Galaxy S23 Ultra was also a fantastic device – one that ranked highly in T3's best phones list – it was a fairly marginal upgrade over its S22 Ultra predecessor. That's not the story with the Galaxy S24 Ultra, though, as the latest handset refines the formula to the maximum, bringing with it design changes and hardware developments that just make a whole heap more sense.
