Low-light photography is another strength of the S24 Ultra, excelling at scenes like sunset beaches and moonlit coconut groves. The phone’s Night Mode produces clean, vibrant images even in very dim conditions.

But it’s the generative AI features where the S24 Ultra really pulls ahead of other smartphone cameras. The phone suggests tailored optimisations for each photo, like timelapse conversions for landscapes or background enhancements for portraits. There’s also a new generative AI button that shows when you’re editing photos, letting you erase unwanted elements or move subjects around the frame.

With performance like this, the Galaxy S24 Ultra currently reigns supreme as the best Android camera phone available. These samples give just a taste of what this mobile camera system can do.
