Samsung has announced the Galaxy S24 Ultra with a lot of noise, but how does it compare against last year's flagship, the Galaxy S23 Ultra?

Except these improvements, there are very few reasons you should upgrade from S23 Ultra. In most categories, and especially in the camera department, both devices are almost on par. In fact, the lack of 10x periscope lens on the S24 Ultra might push users to opt for the S23 Ultra. Read our comparison to find the difference between both flagship devices.

If performance, better display, faster charging, 10x periscope, and better battery life are what you're looking for, the S24 Ultra is a better pick. However, if you can sacrifice performance, especially gaming, or if you like the photos that come out of Pixels and if comprehensive AI camera features and new feature drops excite you, Pixel 8 Pro is for you.
