Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra: A Deep Dive

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, Samsung’s flagship model for 2024, is likely to be a technological marvel poised to redefine the standards of mobile innovation.

Central to the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s appeal is its display.

Rumoured to feature a flat 6.8-inch screen, this device is expected to offer an immersive viewing experience.

The highlight, however, is its unprecedented peak brightness of over 2,500 nits, promising unparalleled clarity and visibility even in the brightest conditions.

Such a high brightness level is not just a numerical upgrade; it represents a significant improvement in outdoor usability and overall display quality.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra is expected to be at the forefront of integrating AI into everyday smartphone use.

This integration could be seen in various aspects of the phone, from camera functionality and image processing to user interface design and personalization.

Speaking of which, while specific details on the camera setup are sparse, expectations are high for the S24 Ultra to continue Samsung’s legacy of superior photography.

The 200MP primary shooter is more than likely to be present and it will be supported by a trio of telephoto, periscope, and ultra-wide shooters as well.

With AI enhancements, users can anticipate features like better scene recognition, improved night photography, and perhaps even AI-driven composition suggestions, elevating the smartphone photography experience to professional levels.

Under the hood, the S24 Ultra is expected to be a powerhouse.

While exact specifications are yet to be confirmed, the device will likely feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, up to 16GB of RAM, and a substantial 1TB storage option.

Again all of this is likely going to be combined with AI optimisation, suggesting a phone that’s not only fast and responsive but also efficient in handling power and resources.

Galaxy S24 Series: Pricing and Expectations

The pricing strategy for the Galaxy S24 series seems to be a mix of continuity and surprise.

The Galaxy S24 is expected to start at around EUR 899, the S24+ at EUR 1,149, and the Ultra model beginning at EUR 1,449.

Interestingly, the pricing for the S24 and S24+ is lower compared to their predecessors, indicating Samsung’s strategic pricing adjustments.

The S24 Ultra, with its advanced hardware, is expected to be priced higher than last year’s Ultra model.

The Indian market pricing is likely to follow this trend.

Galaxy AI: What Could it Mean?

Galaxy AI, as a concept, could mark a significant shift in how we interact with our smartphones.

This means the Galaxy S24 series, particularly the Ultra model, will not only leverage the processing power within the device but also draw on the vast capabilities of cloud computing.

This synergy could result in faster processing, more accurate predictions, and a more personalized user experience.

The rumored smart features of Galaxy AI are particularly intriguing.

A smart audio recorder that transcribes speech in real-time could be a game-changer for professionals and students alike.

The photo editor with AI capabilities could democratize professional-level photo editing, making it accessible to all users.

The potential of real-time translation and a smarter Samsung Notes app suggests a focus on productivity, facilitating communication and organization.

The possibility of Galaxy AI evolving into an advanced assistant tool is exciting.

It could enhance the capabilities of Samsung’s current virtual assistant, Bixby, or even replace it.

This implies a more natural interaction with the device, where the AI understands and anticipates user needs, makes recommendations, and executes tasks with greater efficiency.

Samsung has only 2 foldable lineups, both of which are updated annually, with a successor usually released sometime in August.

Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy Z Flip 5 are half a year old, there is no news that a new foldable launch is due before Summer 2024.

New Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Buds Models

With the current information we have there will be no announcements of wearables and headphones at Galaxy Unpacked.

Samsung released the current Galaxy Watch 6 series last August, so we can assume its Watch 6 Classic version will have to wait more for the next one .

Samsung One UI 6.1 Android 14 update feature screenshots. Details ?

The One UI 6.1 could also bring weather effects on the lock screen, the Magic Editor-styled photo retouching, & Circle Search and Meeting Notes functions .

The live translation during calls or meetings, and the smart battery defense system, are part of Samsung’s new generative AI model that it calls Gauss and which is making a cameo this month on January 17 when the Galaxy S24 series Unpacked event will be held.

* Title writing: the S24 Ultra will be able to do a whole essay on a topic, ChatGPT style

What is One UI 6.1 software update ?

With the new hardware, a major software announcement from Samsung – namely, the launch of One UI 6.1. For reference is excepted ,this is the user interface developed by the Korean tech giant exclusively for its smartphones.

The Galaxy S24 will feature One UI 6.1 out of the box, but the newest version will also likely be making its way to other Samsung devices sooner rather than later.

As leaked, One UI 6.1 on Android 14 will be all about AI and anticipating every need and move of the S24 phone user, a new Samsung AI era indeed.

When does the Galaxy S24 Unpacked event start?

* January 17, 2024, at 10AM PT / 1PM ET / 6PM CET

The Galaxy S24 lineup will be announced at Samsung Unpacked, which is scheduled to take place on January 17, aired live from San Jose for a change.

What’s new about the Galaxy S24 ?

* Evolved design with flat sides
* Slimmer screen borders, uniform bezel
* Compact 6.2″ size (but slightly bigger 6.1″ S23)
* Fast Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor (in most markets)
* But still 8GB of RAM
* New “Galaxy AI” features
* Same triple camera hardware, but new camera processing
* Slightly bigger, 4000mAh battery
* Unchanged charging speeds

How will Galaxy S24 Design & Colors ?

It is slightly larger at 6.2 inches, but still very much compact.
The sides of the phone now seem to be completely flat, a look much like recent Apple iPhones.

We find phones with flat sides are easier to grab from a table, so most will probably like this new style.

The Galaxy S24 is still likely to have an aluminum frame.

The more durable titanium will only be used on the pricier S24 Ultra version.
The borders around the screen could get smaller for a more modern look, and there could also have uniform bezel.

The rest is expected to be the same as before: IP68 rating, USB-C port on the bottom, and power and volume keys on the right hand side.

The expected Galaxy S24 colors:

* Marble Gray
* Cobalt Violet
* Onyx Black
* Amber Yellow

How will Galaxy S24 Display be ?

Leaks say the Galaxy S24 is getting a slightly larger 6.17-inch screen, and it could have the same 1-120Hz refresh rate which you previously only had on the expensive Ultra model.

New here is the ability to drop all the way down to 1Hz for static content, and this also means the phone can be more frugal in terms of power use.

Expectations are we will have slimmer borders around the screen too, and higher brightness for easier outdoor use.

Resolution is not expected to change at 1080p, but we don’t really mind as that is sharp enough for the vast majority of people.
You have an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint reader, unchanged in the last few generations, and you also get 2D image-based face recognition.

How is Galaxy S24 Camera?

With a triple lens system on its back, the Galaxy S24 camera looks much like the previous model.

Samsung will use the same main camera sensor , and there will be no changes to the ultra-wide and 3X zoom camera hardware either.

Samsung dropped a few teasers of new “Galaxy AI” camera features that will give the S24 “Magic Editor” photo and video updation.

Clearer recordings in low light conditions, and other camera improvements are expected .

“Zoom with Galaxy AI” demo, Samsung shows how you can get cleaner zoomed shots too.

How is Galaxy S24 Battery ?

Galaxy S24 battery also gets a boost to 4,000mAh, up from 3,900mAh on the last year’s model.

Galaxy phones have used 25W charging via a wire, and roughly 15W wireless charging speeds, and that’s exactly what we expect with S24.
