- Launch Event: The Unpacked event will be distributed starting January 2, 2024. This early announcement is generating significant excitement among fans and industry watchers alike.
- Timing: The event is said to start at 10:00 AM PT which is 10:30 PM IST. This is perhaps in a very long time that Indian fans will see a night event for the Galaxy S series launch.
- The launch invite has the words “Galaxy AI is Coming” which hints at the upcoming GPT-like model being trained by Samsung that could improve Bixby’s capabilities.
- Pre-Booking: Customers can look forward to pre-booking their Galaxy S24 models from January 30th, with roll-out beginning shortly thereafter.
Galaxy S24: Previous Leaks and Rumours
- Pricing Strategy: In an interesting turn, the Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus are rumored to be priced lower in the EU than their predecessors.
According to GalaxyClub.nl, a new but credible source, the Galaxy S24 is expected to start at €899 for the 128GB model and €959 for the 256GB variant. - Galaxy S24 Ultra: The Ultra model, on the other hand, is speculated to see a price increase, potentially starting at €1,449.
- No Satellite Connectivity: It seems that Samsung is not likely to bring Satellite communication capabilities to the Galaxy S24 series.
This after Apple has been doing it for more than a year and even Huawei has jumped on the train back in 2023. The possibility is that the Galaxy S25 is where this feature will make its debut on a Samsung phone.
Galaxy S24: Expected Features and Specifications
- Display: The standard Galaxy S24 model is anticipated to feature a 6.17-inch AMOLED LTPO display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The S24 Plus is expected to sport a larger 6.7-inch screen.
- Processor: Both models will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Made for Galaxy processor, ensuring top-tier performance. Select markets will also see the Exynos 2400 SoC variant.
- Camera Capabilities: The S24 series is set to shine in the camera department. With a 50MP main sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, the devices promise to offer exceptional photography capabilities. A 12MP front camera will cater to selfie and video call enthusiasts.
- The Galaxy S24 Ultra: As the flagship of the series, the Ultra is expected to boast a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED LTPO panel with a 144Hz refresh rate.
Its camera setup is particularly noteworthy, featuring a 200 MP primary sensor and a range of supporting lenses, including a 50MP periscope lens with 5x optical zoom.
