Samsung Galaxy S24: Release date, price, Ultra features and more

The Samsung Galaxy S24 release date has been confirmed, but we still know nothing about its secret features.

It is worth noting that Samsung Galaxy S24 will reportedly be the “first artificial intelligence phone.” How do we count? According to Galaxy Club reports, on November 24, Samsung applied for trademarks for phrases such as “AI Phone” and “AI Smartphone” in the EU and the UK.

We’re breaking down all the rumors we know so far about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra phones.

Samsung Galaxy S24 release date

Samsung Galaxy S24 is confirmed to be released on January 17th.

In the past, the Samsung Galaxy S series was released in January or February. View historical release dates:

• Samsung Galaxy S21: January 29, 2021

• Samsung Galaxy S22: February 25, 2022

• Samsung Galaxy S23: February 1, 2023

In recent years, Galaxy S series phones have been launched in February, so the mid-January launch is much earlier than we expected.

Samsung Galaxy S24 price

There aren’t many leaks about Samsung Galaxy S24 pricing, but before we dive into the rumors we’ve heard, there’s one thing to note.according to electricity companySamsung has been considering removing the Plus model from its product line. Why? In short, buyers tend to buy the cheapest model or the best quality model rather than the mid-range model.

However, X leaker @Tech_ReveSpread the beans Technology Radar Claims to have a “respectable track record” are met with skepticism.They claim the rumors about Samsung axing the Galaxy S24 are “Confusing rumors.” I’m leaning towards @Tech_Reve at this point. While I do suspect there have been discussions internally at Samsung about potentially discontinuing the Plus models, I don’t think the Samsung Galaxy S24 series will be the ones to do so.

Likewise, there aren’t many rumors about the next-gen phone’s pricing at the moment, which could indicate there won’t be a price increase next year. Let’s take a look at the starting prices of the past three generations:

• Samsung Galaxy S21, S21+, S21 Ultra: $799, $999, $1,199

• Samsung Galaxy S22, S22+, S22 Ultra: $799, $999, $1,199

• Samsung Galaxy S22, S22+, S22 Ultra: $799, $999, $1,199

Pricing has remained stable since Samsung launched the Galaxy S21 series in 2021. Will that change next year? With inflation driving up prices in the tech sector, it’s possible, but we won’t know for sure until we hear it directly from the horse’s mouth.

Another rumor claims that the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will ditch one of its telephoto lenses and switch from a quad-lens system to a three-lens module, but we’ll dive into that later.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Color

According to GSMArena, the new colors of the entry-level Samsung Galaxy S24 are as follows

The first two colors are often labeled “Phantom Black” and “Graphite,” and they’re not new to the Galaxy S lineup. However, purple and yellow are hues we haven’t seen in generations. As GSMArena points out, we have a purple colorway for the S21 series, but we haven’t had a yellow hue since the Galaxy S10e.

However, according to Android Headlines, citing “trusted confidential sources,” the official names of the four colors are Onyx Black, Marble Grey, Cobalt Purple and Amber Yellow. Android Headlines adds that there will be four additional colors: blue, green, and orange, which will be exclusive to Samsung’s official website.

Samsung Galaxy S24 display

according to ice universeThe change in display size of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus (mid-range model) is negligible (6.65 inches vs. 6.6 inches). Let’s first take a look at the screen sizes of the two generations:

Samsung Galaxy S23 display size

• Samsung Galaxy S23 – 6.1 inches

• Samsung Galaxy S23+ – 6.6 inches

• Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra – 6.8 inches

Samsung Galaxy S24 display size (rumored)

• Samsung Galaxy S24 – 6.1 inches

• Samsung Galaxy S24+ – 6.65 inches

• Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra – 6.8 inches

The tipster also claims that the resolution gap between the S24+ and S24 Ultra will be narrowed; mid-range models will get higher-quality WQHD+ resolution along with the top models.

Currently, all three Galaxy S23 models come with 120Hz refresh rate displays. But keep in mind that only the Galaxy S23 Ultra has a variable refresh rate between 1Hz and 120Hz; lower-end models have a dynamic refresh rate between 48Hz and 120Hz. What does it mean? Well, the Ultra can go all the way down to 1Hz when you’re not very active on the phone, which means a much lower screen refresh rate. This can extend battery life. Lower-tier Samsung Galaxy S23 models can only drop down to 48Hz, which means it may still refresh the screen even if your tasks don’t require such high frequencies.

However, we have a strong hunch that the Galaxy S24 and S24+ models will now be able to drop down to 1Hz. How do we know? ice universe The claim is that they will now use an LTPO (Low Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide) panel (which is found on the Ultra model), giving lower-tier models the chance to smoothly transition between 1Hz and 120Hz.

As a cherry on top, according to Sam Lover, Samsung may upgrade the Ultra version to 144Hz. What does this mean to you? Navigating via your phone will feel more seamless, smoother and more responsive. Mobile gaming should feel more relaxed, too.

Finally, according to Ice Universe, the bezels of the Samsung Galaxy S24+ are getting narrower (2.5mm vs. 3.4mm).

Samsung Galaxy S24 camera

There are conflicting reports about the Samsung Galaxy S24 camera. in June, ice universe Claiming that they obtained the camera specs for the Ultra model from a “Korean source”.

The listed specs were essentially the same as before, but two months later, Ice Universe changed its tune, hinting that the Ultra model would have two telephoto options: 50MP camera, 5x optical zoom, and a 10MP lens with 3x optical zoom.

The current Ultra model has two 10MP telephoto lenses, one with 10x zoom and the other with 3x zoom. This means that the 10MP, 10X sensor may be replaced by a 50MP, 5X camera. In theory, this means the new telephoto sensor on the upcoming Ultra will have a shorter optical range before the digital zoom software kicks in, but image quality should be sharper.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra:

• Wide angle camera – 200MP

• Ultrawide camera – 12MP

• Telephoto – 10MP, 3X

• Telephoto – 10MP, 10X

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (rumored)

• Wide angle camera – 200MP

• Ultrawide camera – 12MP

• Telephoto – 10MP, 3X

• Telephoto – 50MP, 5X

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will also come with a new night scene zoom mode and 4K video at 120fps.

Ice Universe also took to Weibo on October 28 to show off some leaked images of protective cases that appear to be suitable for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Judging from the pictures, as Tom’s Guide points out, Samsung may consider integrating two telephoto lenses into one camera.

As for the other models, there aren’t many rumors about them. But if things remain relatively consistent, the lower-end models will continue to feature a 50MP wide-angle camera, a 10MP 3X telephoto camera, and a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera with a 120-degree field of view.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra specs and new features

according to sam mobile, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will power the next generation of Samsung Galaxy S series product line. Quoting reports from China, SamMobile added that the new chipset’s GPU speed is 50% faster than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in the Galaxy S23 series.

Interestingly, the Adreno 740 inside the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is faster than the graphics card inside the A16 Bionic, which you’ll find in the iPhone 14 Pro models. The question then is, can the next-gen GPU, likely called the Adreno 750, beat the A17 Pro in the iPhone 15 Pro models in terms of graphics power? Only time will tell.

sam mobile It is also reported that the entire Galaxy S24 series will start with 256GB storage and 12GB RAM. This could mean you don’t have to spend more money to add space to your phone.The tech outlet also said there might be a version of the Ultra model with 1TB storage and 16GB RAM, but Ice Universe refutes this in the following X postal:

As you can see, IceUniverse claims that a 16GB RAM model simply doesn’t exist; you can get up to 12GB of RAM.

Finally, Samsung may follow Apple’s lead and launch Satellite connection to new S24 line.
