Design-wise, the Galaxy S24 series seems to follow in the footsteps of its predecessor, the S23 lineup, but with some notable enhancements.

All models feature a centrally-placed punch-hole camera, flat edges, and slim bezels, presenting a sleek and modern aesthetic.

The standard S24 and S24+ models are going to be designed with rounded edges, while the S24 Ultra boasts sharp edges and a rumoured titanium chassis, setting it apart as the premium offering.

The S24 and S24+ will feature a triple camera setup on the back, each lens distinctively placed without borders, while the Ultra model ramps up the photography game with a quad-camera array and LED flash.

All three models will sport the familiar Samsung logo on their backs, along with a USB Type-C port, speaker grills, and microphone at the bottom.

Unique to the Ultra variant is the inclusion of S Pen support, a nod to productivity enthusiasts.

Under the hood, the Galaxy S24 series is rumoured to be powered by the Exynos 2400 SoC globally, with some models in India possibly featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.

This hardware shift hints at tailored performance optimisation for different markets.

The series has already made its mark on several certification platforms, including FCC, NBTC, China 3C, and India’s BIS, confirming its imminent arrival.

Display specifications suggest the Galaxy S24 will boast a 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate, while the S24+ could step up with a 6.7-inch QHD+ sAMOLED screen.

The Ultra model is expected to top the range with a 6.8-inch QHD+ display, offering a variable 120Hz refresh rate.

Camera setups across the series are expected to be impressive, with the S24 and S24+ featuring dual 50MP cameras and the Ultra model potentially including a groundbreaking 200MP primary sensor.

Battery capacities across the series vary, with the standard S24 rumoured to have a 4,000mAh battery, the S24+ a 4,900mAh battery, and the Ultra a robust 5,000mAh battery, all supporting up to 45W fast charging.

In terms of software, the series will run on an Android 14-based One UI 6.0 custom skin, ensuring a smooth and intuitive user experience.

The teaser campaigns hinting at ‘Galaxy AI’ suggest the inclusion of generative AI features, possibly offering advanced on-device AI capabilities.

The colour palette for the series is expected to be diverse, with options like Onyx Black, Cobalt Violet, Marble Gray, and Amber Yellow, adding a touch of personal style to the high-tech offerings.

As for pricing, the Galaxy S24 is tipped to start at around EUR 899, the S24+ at EUR 1,149, and the Ultra model could begin at EUR 1,449, reflecting their varying features and capabilities.

What is quite surprising is that the Galaxy S24 and S24+ pricing is lower than what the S23 and S23+ were initially priced last year.

Perhaps the same is likely to occur for the Indian pricing as well.

However, with the much more increased hardware, the S24 Ultra is likely to be priced at a much higher rate than the S23 Ultra was last year.

We will know more when the devices are announced.

Ahead of the launch, Samsung has opened pre-orders with a #Next Galaxy VIP Pass at Rs 1,999, fully refundable for those who might change their minds, and is offering benefits worth Rs 5,000, which is more than adding excitement and anticipation surrounding the Galaxy S24 series.
