Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Specs and Price: What It Costs and What You Get

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra was announced on January 17, 2024, and it was Samsung's flagship until the Galaxy S25 Ultra arrived in early 2025. When we checked on November 12, 2026, Samsung's US store showed the S24 Ultra as sold out and linked to the S25 Ultra instead. This guide sets out what the phone offers and what it cost at launch, so you can judge it on the figures.

Display and performance

The screen is a 6.8 inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 1440 x 3120 pixels. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip comes with 12 GB of RAM, and that pairing is offered with all three storage sizes. There is no microSD slot, so the storage you buy is the storage you keep.

Cameras

The 200 MP main camera is the headline figure. The phone also has a 50 MP periscope telephoto lens for longer zoom, a 10 MP telephoto lens and a 12 MP ultrawide lens. The front camera is 12 MP, and video recording goes up to 8K at 24 or 30 frames per second.

Battery and charging

The battery is rated at 5000 mAh and supports wireless charging. This guide does not give a wired or wireless charging wattage, because the published figures disagree on it.

Price and availability today

Those are January 2024 launch prices. Samsung's US store currently shows the S24 Ultra as sold out, so anyone buying a new unit will need to check retailers, where prices can differ from the launch figures.

Is it still worth buying?

That depends on the price you can find and which features matter to you. The 200 MP camera, 12 GB of RAM and 120 Hz screen still stand out on paper. The 5000 mAh battery and the lack of a microSD slot are the points to weigh against your own use. Before you decide, compare the price with the Galaxy S25 Ultra, and read the full Galaxy S24 Ultra specifications on SpexHive.

Where the figures come from

The figures come from published spec sheets and from the SpexHive device database. Charging speed is left out because published sources disagree on it. Samsung's official specification page was not available when this guide was written, so check Samsung's site before you rely on any figure for a purchase.
