Galaxy S24 series

We are actually nearing the release window for the

Galaxy S24
release date
Samsung is expected to unveil the
Galaxy S24 series
in January or early February 2024. According to the majority of the most recent Galaxy flagship announcements, Samsung now tends to release its new flagships earlier and earlier each year, thus the
Galaxy S24 series
should fall neatly into the timetable.
Galaxy S24
release, citing Samsung’s alleged desire to counter the
iPhone 15
‘s seemingly strong demand.
At this moment, Samsung isn’t expected to stray away from this established release window. Thus, we expect the
Galaxy S24
and
Galaxy S24
Plus to get announced sometime in late January or early February 2024. Subsequently, the phones will get released to the market a couple of weeks later.

Galaxy S24
price
After years of keeping the US pricing of the Galaxy S series mostly unchanged, things could potentially change with the
Galaxy S24 and
Galaxy S24
Plus
. After all, UK and European fans of the Galaxy lineup were in for a rude awakening with the
Galaxy S23
release, which increased prices across the board.
Seeing how Apple has withheld on raising prices with the
iPhone 15
series, we hope that Samsung will follow suit.
Still, it’s worth mentioning that no potential price hikes have leaked out yet as it’s simply too early to anticipate credible pricing rumors, so there’s still the chance that the
Galaxy S24 series
will cost just as much as previous Galaxy flagships did at launch.

| Galaxy S23+ | $999 (256 GB), $1119 (512GB) |

Galaxy S24
and
Galaxy S24 Plus
are expected to keep the exact same camera setups as the
Galaxy S23
series. Thus, we expect 50MP wide-angle cameras, 12MP ultra-wide ones, and a 10MP telephoto lens offering 3.0x optical zoom to make the rounds.

that the

for its own in-hose ISOCELL sensors. This rumor is mostly concerning the
Galaxy S24 Ultra
, but chances are that the smaller Galaxies could benefit from the change as well.
Surely, we are hopeful that Samsung would bring general improvements to the camera experience with the
Galaxy S24 series
, though we don’t really expect any major hardware changes. Change for the sake of change isn’t ideal.

Galaxy S24 series
.

Galaxy S24
and the Galaxy Plus will likely come with 256GB of storage, and also pack some 12GB of RAM in their base versions, which would be a massive improvement in comparison with the

design
Galaxy S24
design rumors that indicate that we should expect major design changes. After all, the
Galaxy S23
and
Galaxy S23 Plus
were brought to the fold and scored the same design language as the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The two 2023 flagships got the more streamlined flat design with protruding camera lenses that stick out of the back plate.
The
Galaxy S24
and
Galaxy S24
Plus will most likely employ the same general design, with ever-so-slightly curved metal side frame and completely level front and back plates made of glass, just like their predecessors. Of course, we wouldn’t rule out some minor design altercations.
Galaxy S23
and
Galaxy S23 Plus
on next year’s
Galaxy S24
and S24 Plus. This makes sense, as Samsung is unlikely to once again shake up the design language of its upcoming flagships having already done this in early 2023 with the
Galaxy S23
series. The current design will most likely stick for a few years, and it’s only natural to expect that from the South Korean giant.
We are yet to hear anything else regarding the
Galaxy S24
and
Galaxy S24
Plus design features.

Plus: 6.65-inch LTPO 1-120Hz FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X -
Galaxy S24
: 6.1-inch LTPO 1-120Hz FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X
The
Galaxy S24
Plus will probably adopt a 6.65-inch display, whereas the
Galaxy S24
will most probably come with a 6.1-inch one. Both displays will most certainly be super-bright Dynamic AMOLED ones, with all the bells and whistles that make OLED screens so head-turning: perfect contrast, exceptional vibrancy, and very high brightness.

screens is the potential adoption of the M13 LTPO display panel across the
Galaxy S24 line
up. In comparison with the M12 display that is found on the
Galaxy S23
series Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip 5, the M13 screen is thinner and more efficient, both of which are excellent improvements.
Another potential improvement would be to increase the maximum brightness of the display panels.
Samsung Display
has been supplying significantly brighter and efficient OLED screens to Apple for some time now, leaving Samsung Mobile with slightly less stunning technology to utilize on its flagship phones.

battery and charging
specs
According to the latest rumors, the
Galaxy S24
and
Galaxy S24
Plus will have the following batteries:
-
Galaxy S24
: 4,000mAh -
Galaxy S24
Plus: 4,900mAh
The
Galaxy S23
/
Galaxy S23 Plus
both scored larger (or denser) batteries than their predecessors: 3,700mAh on Galaxy S22 to 3,900mAh on
Galaxy S23, while the
4,500mAh on Galaxy S22 Plus rose to 4,700mAh on the
Galaxy S23 Plus
.
Thus, we don’t exactly expect a jump in battery capacity for the
Galaxy S24 series
, provided that the design stays mostly the same. Surely, by improving battery chemistry, Samsung could theoretically squeeze a bit more battery inside, but we wouldn’t expect that in 2024.

and the
Galaxy S24
Plus. However, the
Galaxy S24
will likely remain stranded at the slow 25W train. As a refresher, Samsung opted to keep the
Galaxy S23
outfitted with 25W charging, while the more premium
Galaxy S23 Plus
got outfitted with a much faster 45W charging.
Galaxy S24
software and features
Galaxy S24
will most certainly arrive with a major version of the One UI interface. As we’re currently amidst the One UI 5 era, based on Android 13, it’s more than certain that the next Galaxy flagship will arrive with One UI 6, which will be based on Android 14. What features and functionalities will be introduced to both pieces of software remains to be seen.

hardware and specs
The
Galaxy S23
series broke years of tradition and shipped with a single Qualcomm chipset globally (an exclusively tuned-up version), whereas Samsung used both Exynos and Qualcomm chips previously.

According to rumors, the chip will employ a deca-core configuration of 1+2+3+4 cores including a Cortex-X4 prime core running at 3.10GHz or possibly even 3.2GHz. The chip will also use the Xclipse 940 GPU as well as the Exynos 5300 5G modem.

Galaxy S23
and S23 Plus, as well as most of their direct predecessors in the past few years came with 128GB of native storage. Rumors have it that the
Galaxy S24

You should wait for the
Galaxy S24
and the
Galaxy S24 Plus
if
you haven’t upgraded your Galaxy flagship in a while and are planning on getting a new phone early next year. Judging from Samsung’s track record, the next installments in the Galaxy lineup shouldn’t disappoint, with the possibility of scoring some key improvements in important areas. What’s more, you can keep an ear close to the ground if you’re willing to explore the Galaxy ecosystem, as the
Galaxy S24
or the
Galaxy S24
Plus could be the perfect entry-level into it.

You should not wait for
Galaxy S24 and
Galaxy S24 Plus
if
you’ve bought a
Galaxy S23
or a
Galaxy S23 Plus
soon, or don’t intend on upgrading your phone in the coming year or so. Surely, the upcoming phones will be good, but they can’t be that much better than their immediate predecessors. If you, due to one reason or another, are also looking to explore other options on the vast phone market, then you should probably not wait for the
Galaxy S24 series
, as we doubt that they will introduce any ground-breaking new feature that will bring the industry on its head.
