In the battle for the title of the smartphone king, there have been two brands fighting head-to-head for the last decade – Apple and Samsung.
Arguably, the crown in 2024 will be given to the brand that gets the edge in adopting AI in its flagship smartphone.
Windows Report managed to acquire exclusive photos and specs of one of the main contenders – Galaxy S24 Ultra which will come along with two more models – S24 and S24 Plus.
We expect to see the actual reveal of the S24 family at Galaxy Unpacked, which is scheduled for January 17th next year.
However, here’s a sneak peak at what we can expect from Samsung in early 2024.
Galaxy S24 Ultra
Samsung’s newest flagship will come in four different colors:
- Titanium Black
- Titanium Gray
- Titanium Violet
- Titanium Yellow
Similar to this year’s models Samsung doesn’t bet on any shiny and attention-grabbing colors, except for the yellow one, which is a nice surprise to the line. The colors are quite similar to the ones in the S23 line, except for the fact that the green one was replaced with yellow, and the other three colors are nuances of black, gray, and purple.
As you may have guessed by the color names, Titanium will play its role for the first time ever in a Samsung phone.
The frame of the flagship will be made from Titanium, while the base and Plus models, will most likely have an option for aluminium armor.
Before diving into the exciting AI features the S24 family will offer, here’s what’s under the hood of the S24 Ultra.
| Display | 6.8″ QHD+ |
| Refresh Rate | Up to 120 Hz |
| Processor | Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 |
| Selfie Camera | 12 MP (Dual Pixel AF) |
| Main Camera | 12 MP (Ultra Wide) 200 MP (Wide) 10 MP (Tele 1, 3x) 50 MP (Tele 2, 5x) |
| Internal Storage | 1 TB/512 GB/256 GB |
| RAM | 12 GB |
| Battery | 5,000 mAh Super Fast Charging 2.0 Fast Wireless Charging 2.0/Wireless PowerShare |
| Connectivity | Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi 7, Ultra Wide Band |
| Protection | Corning Gorilla Armor or Titanium |
Design-wise, we aren’t seeing any major changes compared to the S23 Ultra except for the flat screen, which is a huge change for Samsung phones.
In just a few months, we’ll see the same display size on the S24 Ultra as we did on the S23 Ultra. The 2024 model will support a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. However, what’s important to note is that the S24 looks like it will come with a flat screen, missing the curvature we’ve seen in previous models. This trend began with the S23, which had less curvature compared to the S22.
This, along with the improved cooling and large 5,000 mAh battery, suggests a longer battery life. Most likely, the S24 Ultra will come with a vapor chamber that’s 1.9 times bigger than its predecessor for improved cooling. The latter is also bigger on the smaller S24 models compared to the S23 series. This hints at powerful smartphones that can handle AI workflows without overheating issues.
The new model will also have five rear cameras, but unlike its predecessor, we’ll see a new 50 MP tele lens that will reportedly allow up to 5x optical zoom.
The new Galaxy S24 ultra will get the latest Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which makes it a real powerhouse for multitaskers. Not only that, but with the onboard graphics we expect to see incredible gaming performance in triple-A games, and possibly even ray tracing. According to Geekbench’s benchmark, what is expected to be the S24 Ultra scored a single-core score of 2,214 and a multi-core score of 6,744. The same processor is expected to power most flagships from Motorola, Xiaomi, and Huawei next year.
Now, let’s talk about the elephant in the room.
AI in the palm of your hand
One of Samsung’s key selling points for 2024 will be the implementation of AI in the S24 smartphone family.
Samsung’s AI will power a variety of apps and features. From the information we’ve obtained, the new S24 series will come with some exciting capabilities.
Starting off, it’s expected the S24 phones will be able to translate messaging apps in real-time, which will be especially handy for improved workflows and talking to friends around the globe. It is expected that this feature will support over a dozen languages.
Secondly, Samsung plans to incorporate generative AI that can help edit and improve your photos.
Last but not least, the new S24 line will offer enhanced search capabilities. You’ll be able to highlight any given item on an image and find additional information for it thanks to Samsung’s AI.
Furthemore, we expect AI to play a vital role in the S24 family, and most likely more AI features will be shown at the Galaxy Unpacked event. After all, Samsung has registered two new trademarks – “AI phone” and “AI Smartphone” just a few days ago.
Now, let’s get familiar with S24 Ultra’s smaller brothers.
Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus
As usual, Samsung will also release two more budget-friendly models – the Galaxy S24 and the Galaxy S24 Plus.
Both models will come in the same colors as the S24 Ultra but are named differently:
- Onyx Black
- Marble Grey
- Cobalt Violet
- Amber Yellow
They will both support Samsung’s AI features and will differ slightly only in size, specs, and vapor chamber size.
Here are the expected specs for both models:
| S24 | S24 Plus | |
| Display | 6.2″ FHD+ with up to 120 Hz refresh rate | 6.7″ QHD+ with up to 120 Hz refresh rate |
| Processor | Exynos 2400 | Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 |
| Battery | 4000 mAh with Super Fast Charging | 4900 mAh with Super Fast Charging 2.0 |
| Main camera | 12 MP (Ultra Wide) 50 MP (Wide) 10 MP (Tele photo with up to 3x optical zoom) |
12 MP (Ultra Wide) 50 MP (Wide) 10 MP (Tele photo with up to 3x optical zoom) |
| Selfie camera | 12 MP | 12 MP |
| RAM | 8 GB | 12 GB |
| Internal storage | 512/256/128 GB | 512/256 GB |
| Connectivity | Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi 6E | Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi 7* (rumored) |
Both models will aslo come with improved cooling (most likely to handle the AI capabilities better). Presumably, the S24 will have a 1.5 times bigger vapor chamber while the S24 Plus’ one will be 1.6x bigger than last year’s models.
Being more budget-friendly options, the titanium add-on will be replaced with an aluminium one.
Both models are expected to be revealed along with the Galaxy S24 Ultra at Galaxy Unpacked in January.
