For more than two weeks, we have been testing the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra in depth. Benefiting from a proven design, this concentration of technologies shines with its potential in artificial intelligence (AI) and its photographic capabilities, in particular. What is the assessment of this flagship market from 1299 francs?
From the moment you take it in hand , this standard confirms its monumental potential announc by its extraordinary format and its magnificent 6.8-inch screen, its 200 Mpx photo sensor, not to mention its maximum storage capacity which can reach 1 TB of data. The design is slightly different from the Galaxy S23 Ultra , as illustrat in the photos below. The Samsung website .

A flying start
After a flying start that allow me to recover the contents of a previous model in no time, we are obviously tempt to gauge the hardware potential of this new benchmark. After a few minutes, the AnTuTu benchmark tool drops its verdict, incribly, the S24 Ultra is close to 1,900,000 points.
Once this is done, we can’t help but put Google’s AI on the grill. We launch Samsung Internet, we press and hold the central button at the bottom of the screen, which allows us to circle an object on the screen and almost immiately have a result from an image search carri out by Google.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra on test!
In the case illustrat above, Google thus offers another article from this blog, content on the Orange operator’s website in Belgium and a video on YouTube. A rather surprising choice. We will try in the future to return in more detail to the potentialities of this possibly major innovation of the world’s leading search engine.
We first took a closer look at the possibility in the photo skype database gallery to erase an object. I us a photo taken near the Olympic Museum in Lausanne to erase a tree. The result is very nice. But to benefit from the full power of Samsung’s AI, you have to go through the appropriate function materializ by a blue/green icon with three small stars.

Background recomposition
The three examples above show how we mov an object and recompos the background using Samsung’s innovations. The result is sometimes correct and should, under ideal conditions, allow you to get out of some deadlocks on a few miss shots. Even if it’s not perfect, the result is sometimes appreciable.
Then, I record a short memo of about a minute on the beginning of this test, as already report here . Samsung’s AI almost perfectly transcrib a text. Well seen. Better, this AI, like many others, is able to translate it or summarize the text thus produc. The translation was quite correct. Too bad the summary contain information missing from the original text! Always so creative, these AIs!
Limits to be taken into account
And live translation!
Samsung had announc live translation of phone conversations. So I tri to have a conversation with a relative in French and German. We both experienc slowness in both the text transcription and the translation by a synthetic voice. Difficult to use.
Also, it should be not that The multimia test of to how to use chat2desk safely get to this point, it is necessary to go through the advanc settings, download language packs, such as German and choose options, such as the possibility of hiding the original voice or using the AI locally, without an internet connection, which is what I did.
As with any AI, you should know that the quality lob directory obtain is interesting, but not perfect. You can’t expect an error-free translation, which can potentially create misunderstandings. Some will tell me that it’s better than nothing. Certainly.
