The Galaxy S24 Ultra is still a fantastic smartphone. It features enough of the Galaxy Note heritage many of us love, and it includes a full-featured S Pen. It even has some of Samsung\u2019s newer innovations, such as the anti-reflective screen. It\u2019s currently the sweet spot for people who want a flagship Samsung experience without the wallet-punishing price of a Galaxy S26 Ultra.<\/p>\n

A significant reason it\u2019s so much easier to recommend older flagships is the extended software support. I would never tell anyone to buy a Galaxy S21 Ultra two years after release, because the value wasn\u2019t there. That\u2019s no longer the case, and despite being released in 2024, the Galaxy S24 Ultra will still enjoy almost five years of software support and upgrades.<\/p>\n

Of course, if the quality of those updates isn\u2019t solid, who cares? Thankfully, Samsung\u2019s done an excellent job, and the most recent One UI 8.5 upgrade on the Galaxy S24 Ultra proves it.<\/p>\n

Are you more willing to buy an older flagship with extended software support?<\/h3>\n

Samsung\u2019s multitasking felt perpetually stuck in 2017. The experience hadn\u2019t fundamentally changed in years, despite fantastic examples from other companies, such as OnePlus\u2019s Open Canvas. That started to change with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and One UI 8. Samsung introduced 90:10 multitasking, and it\u2019s brought that over to the Galaxy S24 Ultra with One UI 8.5.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t always need an even split when multitasking, especially if I\u2019m just copying information from one app into an email or my calendar. A 90:10 multitasking split is the perfect solution. I can swipe one app almost completely off my screen when it\u2019s not needed, but still have it there for easy access. It\u2019s an added layer of flexibility that makes Samsung\u2019s multitasking feel less rigid.<\/p>\n

Whenever there is…<\/p>\n
