In addition to a robust technical sheet, it comes with a stylus and takes up the space vacated by the discontinued Galaxy Note.
How will the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra surprise us? Although long months separate us from the official presentation, the leaker Yogesh Brar advanced in a tweet the possible characteristics of the device. In a brief message, he predicted what his processor would be, his battery, as well as providing details of the cameras and charging speeds.
