Samsung Galaxy S24 release date predictions and its pricing, features, and specifications

The Galaxy S24 series, Samsung’s yearly update to its flagship smartphone line, is anticipated to debut in early 2024. Samsung’s next flagships will take over from the Galaxy S23 series as the company’s primary revenue generators in 2019. The Galaxy S24 Ultra will undoubtedly be the most alluring model, but the standard

Galaxy S24

and

shouldn’t be disregarded at all.
In this article, we will be collecting all the rumors, leaks, and hearsay that we stumble upon regarding the upcoming

Galaxy S24 series

. It will be updated on the regular with all the new rumors, leaks, and news prior to the devices’ announcement and subsequent release.

We are actually nearing the release window for the

Galaxy S24 series

. According to the general consensus, we should see the new Samsung phones get released in January 2024. This means we are very close to the announcement of the new devices, so most of the high-profile rumors we hear are likely quite credible.

If the recent Galaxy S series evolution is anything to go by, we shouldn’t expect that many changes in comparison with the previous Galaxy generations. Minor design altercations and the yearly hardware refresh are likely pretty what we’ll be getting. That’s not only our guess, but also the rumor mill’s established opinion as of late 2023.

Galaxy S24 latest news



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.

Industrious leaker Yogesh Brar is convinced that the Galaxy S24 series will see the light of day in January 2024, but the exact date hasn’t been revealed just yet. This means that the next Galaxy phones might go on sale in early February, which would nicely coincide with Samsung’s usual flagship release window.
Most recently, Korean outlet The Elec doubles down on the prediction for an earlier

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 S24

camera


Galaxy S24

: 50 + 12 + 10MP


Galaxy S24 Plus

: 50 + 12 + 10MP

So far, no surprises are expected, as both the

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.
Currently, the rumor mill’s consensus is that the

Galaxy S24

/

Galaxy S24 Plus

won’t revolutionize the camera experience with the

Galaxy S24 series

. Reliable tipster

Revegnus expects

that the

Galaxy S24

will still be using the same 50MP Samsung GN3 camera sensor that’s been used on multiple previous generations.
Rumors have it that Samsung might substitute the Sony-made sensors on the telephoto cameras on its

Galaxy S24 series

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.

At the front, we will most likely get a punch-hole with the same 10MP selfie camera with an f/2.2 aperture and 80-degree FoV that made the rounds on the

Galaxy S23

and Galaxy S23 Plus, which delivers excellent detail in comparison with the previous Galaxy S22/Galaxy S22 Plus front-facing camera. This rumor is corroborated by recent information from Dutch website GalaxyClub, which doesn’t expect a new selfie camera on the upcoming

Galaxy S24 series

.



Galaxy S24


storage

Samsung might double the amount of base storage on the

Galaxy S24

. The base

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

Galaxy S23

.
However, recent rumors from Revegnus claim that we might actually see a 128GB base version of the

Galaxy S24

and S24 Plus.

Galaxy S24

design


So far, we haven’t heard of any specific

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.

Twitter leaker Revegnus has it that Samsung will be reusing the design of the

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.
From a size perspective, Samsung has seemingly hit the sweet spot with a super-compact 6.1-inch Galaxy flagship and a 6.65-inch device with a larger footprint. We really don’t see any reason for Samsung to stray away from this established pattern. Of course, both devices will remain water- and dust-resistant, with stereo speakers, and all the other bells and whistles we’ve come to expect out of a high-end Samsung phone.

We are yet to hear anything else regarding the

Galaxy S24

and

Galaxy S24

Plus design features.



Galaxy S24

display



  • Galaxy S24

    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.

The latest scoop on the

Galaxy S24

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.

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.

As a direct comparison, the most recent iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models are both capable of hitting up to 2,000 nits of maximum brightness in the right conditions, while the

Galaxy S23

series are all capable of hitting merely 1,750 nits of max brightness.



Galaxy S24

battery and charging


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.

Charging-wise, rumor has it that Samsung is preparing speedier 65W fast-charging for the

Galaxy S24 Ultra

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

Being a major release, the

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.



Galaxy S24

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.

Well, that could change with the

Galaxy S24 series

, as Samsung is reportedly preparing the Exynos 2400 chip for all international markets except for USA and China, which will get the

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy

.
The chip in question is the deca-core Exynos 2400 SoC, which might utilize fan-out wafer-level packaging (FoWLP) that eliminates the need for a printed circuit board (PCB). This could greatly improve the performance and efficiency of this Samsung chip, squashing the criticisms that Samsung’s chips can’t really stand up to Qualcomm’s offerings. The Exynos 2400 will reportedly be manufactured by Samsung with its own 4nm LPP process. Still, this chip might not end up in the

Galaxy S24 series

at all but be intended for other devices that Samsung might have in its sleeve.

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.

Provided that seems that Samsung and Qualcomm will continue their exclusive collaboration with the upcoming Galaxy flagships, as rumors are already starting to pile up about the possible

that will be making the rounds in the next Galaxy flagship.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which might be announced earlier, is expected to come with a slightly different configuration in comparison with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and boast one prime core, five high-performance, and two efficiency cores. This could improve performance as it will swap an efficiency core for a high-performance one.
The yet unannounced Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is also currently rumored to be a graphics-crunching powerhouse thanks to the powerful new Adreno 750 GPU that’s said to be up to 50% faster than the Adreno 740 unit found in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy.
In fact, rumors point out that we might see 12GB of RAM on the 256GB and 512GB versions of the

Galaxy S24

and

Galaxy S24

Plus. Alas, rumors point out we might see 8GB of RAM on the base 128GB storage variants. This could further enhance the performance and multitasking capabilities of the upcoming affordable Galaxies.
Moreover, aside from the RAM increase, we might also be in for double the base storage, at least on the

Galaxy S24

and the

Galaxy S24

Plus. The

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

and S24 Plus (as well as the S24 Ultra) might come with 256GB of native storage in their base versions.
Finally, there are some rumors that all of the

Galaxy S24 series

might score satellite connectivity that will most likely allow for contacting emergency services while outside network coverage. Rudimentary texting is another possible

that satellite connectivity could bring about, provided that both the technology and infrastructure are there.


Should you wait for the

?


  • 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.
