Wondering what is the best Samsung phone? The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has taken the top spot and is currently the most powerful Samsung S Series model. The only downside is the price tag.

Watch reels, and TikTok videos or play games in incredible quality with the 6.8-inch QHD+AMOLED 2x display. Did we mention it even has the most megapixels on a Samsung phone model? Say hello to the 200MP wide-angle camera with 2x optical zoom! 

On top of that, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra features an extremely powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon Gen 3 chip so you can get tasks done at rocket speed. 

This model also has a 120Hz display, a huge 5,000mAh battery and a durable titanium frame (which is great if you're prone to dropping your phone). It doesn't stop there. The Galaxy S24 even has a built-in S-Pen so you can be creative and jot down notes wherever you are. It truly is the best Samsung phone on the market.

You can also count on the Galaxy Z Fold 5 for solid performance and multitasking, thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. It even has a huge 4,400mAh battery so no need to worry about running out of power.
