Details on the Samsung Galaxy S24 are becoming clearer with the speculated debut date already making the rounds. The rate of speculation has increased significantly as Samsung aims to surpass the highly-rated S24 model, which we expect to debut soon enough. The early comparison between the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S23 shows that the Galaxy S24 should outperform the already competent devices thanks to improved performance, camera hardware, and other features.
The Galaxy S24 series speculations that have surfaced thus far are included here.
According to the most recent rumor, the Galaxy S24 will launch on January 17 during a launch event in San Jose, California. Hence, the new phones are anticipated to appear on store shelves before the end of January if January 17 is the official date and not just a rumor.
Though we assume the presentation would still be largely focused on the new phones, the S24 phones may share the stage with other new Samsung gadgets, similar to how the Galaxy S23 arrived alongside the Galaxy Book 3 series.
That being said, let us look into some of the rumored features.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Design
With the Galaxy S24, it is assumed Samsung will maintain its current three-part Galaxy S series. This implies that the 6.1-inch regular model, 6.6-inch Galaxy S24 Plus, and 6.8-inch Galaxy S24 Ultra would likely make up the expanded range.
However, the Galaxy S24 Plus will probably have a bigger screen. Although a 0.05-inch gain may not seem like much, it might have a significant effect on other characteristics as well because a larger display translates into a larger body.
Moreover, the S24 and S24 Plus will probably maintain a similar design as their S23 equivalents. Samsung has been making minor design changes to its phones every year, so they might not be the same.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra should weigh a little less than the Galaxy S23 Ultra even though titanium is a heavier metal than aluminum, which Samsung presently uses for its flagship phones.
Finally, although there haven't been many color speculations concerning the Galaxy S24, sources based on leaked pictures suggest that the Galaxy S24 Ultra may be available in black, gray, violet, and yellow, while the S24 is expected to debut in onyx black, marble gray, cobalt violet, and amber yellow.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Display
AMOLED panels with a maximum refresh rate of 120 Hz ought to be visible on all Samsung display models; the Ultra model will have a more efficient minimum of 1 Hz, while the standard and Plus versions should have a minimum of 48 Hz. The Galaxy S24 and S24+ may ultimately get LTPO screens and the Ultra treatment, enabling fully adjustable refresh rates. The Galaxy S24 Ultra is rumored to boast an extraordinarily bright display, perhaps reaching 2,800 nits, while the Galaxy S24 Plus is reportedly still sporting a respectable 2,500 nits.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Camera
There are currently a few rumored camera upgrades for the regular Galaxy S24 variants.
It appears that the 200MP primary camera on the Galaxy S23 Ultra won't be changing, and the 12MP ultrawide and 12MP selfie cameras probably won't too. But according to a report, the Ultra will include a 1-inch camera sensor, making it one of the biggest available.
Also, the S24 Ultra's telephoto cameras might have better capabilities with a longer zoom, better optics, a bigger sensor, and a wider aperture for brighter photos. That may lead to an astonishingly varied magnification and a maximum zoom of up to 150x (now 100x on the Ultra). But we've now heard that the Ultra model's highest magnification will once more be 100x.
There may be a connection between the Galaxy S24 and a well-known photography app. Owners of the S24 may be able to add a shortcut to the Instagram camera to their lock screens. With the help of this function, you may launch Instagram more quickly and start taking pictures and videos to share on the social networking platform.
The presence of the 50MP 5x telephoto lens on the Galaxy S24 Ultra has reportedly been verified by a recent leak concerning revisions to the camera specifications. According to the same report, there is a possibility that the Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus would share a camera setup.
Finally, the AI intelligence of the Galaxy S24's sensors may enable it to generate more lifelike photographs.
The rumored features seem to be very promising; however, the rumored are also something to look out for.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Specifications and Performance
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 was introduced by Qualcomm in October and promises a 25% faster GPU for graphics rendering along with a 30% boost in CPU performance. Qualcomm claims that the power efficiency of the CPU and GPU has improved by 20% and 15%, respectively. The Galaxy S24 Ultra is expected to employ the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor.
What Samsung will do with the other phones in the S24 series is less certain. Regardless of the market in which they were launched, all three Galaxy S23 versions utilized the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip; in the past, Exynos silicon was used in select regions of the world in Galaxy S phones. With the Galaxy S24, Samsung appears to be returning to the split-chipset strategy, according to reports.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 would only be supported by the Galaxy S24 Ultra and Galaxy S24 Plus, which further contributed to the lack of clarity. Samsung was reportedly planning to utilize an optimized version of the Snapdragon processor once more, similar to what it did with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. An Exynos chipset would be included in the basic Galaxy S24.
It has been reported that the RAM capacity of the Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus would be 12GB, as opposed to the 8GB present in the S23 variants. To access the additional RAM, you might have to shell out more cash for the more costly storage options. The RAM increase has been confirmed by another leaker, who also says the S24 Ultra will have 16GB of RAM.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Battery Life
There have been several speculations floating around regarding the battery of the Galaxy S24 Ultra and S24 Plus, especially regarding a completely new design. According to reports, Samsung will employ stacked batteries in both phones to provide more energy density without increasing the size of the device. One research suggests that Samsung might increase its energy density by as much as 10%.
According to early reports, the Galaxy S24 Plus and S24 Ultra would have the same 4,700 mAh and 5,000 mAh capacities as their S23 predecessors. But a rumor about the bezels around the screens of the upcoming phones also claims that the Galaxy S24 Plus's internal battery might be increased to 4,900 mAh.
The S24 Ultra's charging speed may potentially improve to 65W from 45W thanks to the revised design. It is unknown at this time if the S24 and S24 Plus's current 25W and 45W charging rates will improve.
In conclusion, with features and specs already discussed, some rumored AI specs are also emerging. The Samsung S24 might be Samsung’s first AI-powered smartphone. Rumors claim that the new line of Samsung mobile will have a circle feature, a smart voice recorder, real-time translation, smart wallpapers, built-in photo editors, and much more.
While everything here is just speculation, the approaching launch date of the new Samsung S24 line will uncover some more features and specs that will only be confirmed once the S24, S24 Plus, and S24 Ultra are ready for purchase. Stay tuned!
