What updates will the new Galaxy S24 Ultra have?

Samsung is set to unveil its latest flagship smartphones in less than a month. Key specifications of the upcoming phones have gradually surfaced in recent months, and additional details about the Galaxy S24 series are emerging, highlighting a more robust design.

Recent reports indicate enhancements in the Night mode for the Ultra model and an AI-optimized 200 MP mode. According to Ice Universe, the algorithm will identify and optimize 12 different object types, enhancing overall image quality.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra will be the only smartphone in the lineup to exclusively use a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. Qualcomm launched the platform with big promises for AI operations, and it looks like the Ultra will take full advantage of the new features.

According to tipster Ahmed Qwaider, the Galaxy S24 Ultra will feature a titanium frame that makes the phone’s body 56% stronger than Armor Aluminum, which was used in the Galaxy S22 Ultra and the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The base Galaxy S24 and the Galaxy S24+ will likely not get this feature.

Samsung is also said to be using a bigger vapor chamber cooling system that keeps the chip 1.9x cooler than its predecessor.
