Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra SM-S928BZKCMEA (12GB RAM, 256GB) Review – Middle East Version

Introduction

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra SM-S928BZKCMEA (Middle East Version) arrived with considerable fanfare, promising significant improvements over its predecessor. After weeks of extensive testing, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review, covering everything from its blazing-fast performance to its surprisingly capable camera system.

Key Features

This flagship device packs a punch, featuring the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, a vibrant 6.8-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a substantial 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of internal storage. The dual-SIM capability is a welcome addition for users needing both personal and work lines. The inclusion of emergency satellite texting via 3GPP is a significant safety feature.

Performance & Battery Life

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 delivers exceptional performance. Multitasking is seamless, and even the most demanding games run smoothly. I experienced zero lag during my testing period, a testament to the phone’s powerful hardware. Battery life is also impressive; with moderate usage, I consistently got through a full day on a single charge. The 5000mAh battery held up even under heavy use, though heavy gaming sessions will naturally deplete it faster. The Type-C charging is convenient and fast.

Camera Performance

Samsung has made significant strides in mobile photography with the S24 Ultra. The AI-optimized main camera captures stunning photos in various lighting conditions. The improved night mode produces incredibly detailed and bright images, even in low light. Nightography zoom is another standout feature, allowing for clear and bright zoomed-in shots at night, something previously challenging for most smartphones. The triple primary camera setup offers flexibility for different shooting scenarios.

Pros & Cons

  • Pros: Powerful processor, excellent camera performance (especially night mode and nightography zoom), long battery life, beautiful display, dual SIM support, emergency satellite texting.
  • Cons: Price point is high, some users might find the size a bit unwieldy.

Final Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra SM-S928BZKCMEA is a premium flagship phone that delivers on its promises. The combination of its powerful performance, stunning camera capabilities, and useful features makes it a compelling choice. While the price is undoubtedly high, the overall experience justifies the cost for users who demand the best. I highly recommend it.
