I am planning to visit Dubai and want to buy the s24 ultra, but I am not sure if I buy the Middle East version or the international or Global version, I have another doubt where we have any UAE variant if yes what is the difference between the Middle East and UAE? i searched on the Internet but couldn't find any information.

i know that Middle East version supports all 5G band that are available in India, I am also aware of the fact that call recording and spay will not work.

You will need to buy Indian Sim unlocked variant from DUBAI. and that phone need to be activated there 1st, before taking it to India. and also need to update your phone too.
As samsung have region specific phones & software.
Things affected if you buy From Dubai. 1) no warranty outside Dubai (as samsung doesn't support International Warranty). 2) will face Software issues ( like no update/ Jio sim won't work ) if your are a technical guy you will find solution of software issues . If not then I don't recommend buying from other countries then your Home country.

I was also thinking to buy S24 ultra from Dubai, but changed that as we are paying for software experience. And buying it from there will affect that a lot.

I also noticed someone on the internet posted this but he got the solution from Jio itself (I forgot where)

Jio 5G supports n78 band which is also supported by S24 ultra indian and MEA.

most people using S23 Ulta are getting regular software updates, I hope that will be the same for the S24 ultra,

You can hope for anything, but if any problem arrives then you have to deal with that on your own!!!
