The Galaxy S24 Ultra features a flat 6.8-inch (173 mm) display, with sharp edges, distinct from its base model counterpart.

The S24 and S24+ phones are powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the U.S., Canada, China, Macau, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan, while a Exynos 2400 is used in the rest of the world.

[14] The Galaxy S24 and S24+ have aluminum and matte glass versions and are available in four standard colors: Amber Yellow, Marble Gray, Cobalt Violet, and Onyx Black, with three additional colors available only through Samsung's website: Jade Green, Sapphire Blue and Sandstone Orange.

[15] The Galaxy S24 FE has a limited set of 5 colors called Blue, Graphite, Gray, Mint, and Yellow.

[24] Some users noted the unpleasant smell of the Galaxy S24 Ultra's S Pen, likened to "burnt plastic".

A moderator on Samsung's EU forums said the smell was a normal part of the pen's operation, and "isn't anything to be concerned about".

[25][26] This smell is likely from chemical reactions to the plastic shell of the S Pen, induced by the internal heat of the phone.
