Launch Date and Price
The launch date of the Galaxy S24 series has not been confirmed yet by Samsung. However, based on some leaks and rumors, we can expect the phones to be unveiled in mid-late January 2024. Samsung may hold its Galaxy Unpacked event in San Francisco, California, where it will announce the global availability and pricing of the phones. Samsung may also launch the phones in India on the same date as the global launch.
The price of the Galaxy S24 series is also not revealed yet by Samsung. However, based on the previous pricing of the Galaxy S23 series, we can estimate the price range of the phones. The table below shows the expected price of each model in US dollars and Indian rupees.
| Model | Expected Price (USD) | Expected Price (INR) |

| Galaxy S24 Ultra | $1,399 | Rs. 1.04 lakh |
Design and Display
The design of the Galaxy S24 series is still a mystery, as there have been no credible leaks or renders of the phones yet. However, we can assume that Samsung will follow a similar design language to the Galaxy S23 series, with minor tweaks and improvements.
The Galaxy S24 series will likely have a metal-glass sandwich design, with curved edges and slim bezels. The phones will also have an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance and wireless charging and reverse wireless charging support.
The display size and resolution of the Galaxy S24 series are also unknown at this point. However, some reports suggest that Samsung may reduce the display size of the base and models by 0.1 inches each compared to their predecessors. This means that the Galaxy S24 may have a 6.1-inch display, while the Galaxy S24+ may have a 6.6-inch display. The Ultra model may retain its 6.8-inch display size.
The display type will likely be Dynamic AMOLED 2X with a 120Hz refresh rate and QHD+ resolution. The phones will also have an under-display fingerprint scanner and a punch-hole cut-out for the selfie camera.
One of the most interesting features that the Galaxy S24 series will support is HDR viewing for photos in its gallery. This feature will ensure that the brightness, contrast, and color range of an image captured on the phone remains unchanged while viewed from its gallery. This feature is similar to Ultra HDR which was introduced with Android 14 this year.
Performance and Battery
The performance of the Galaxy S24 series will be top-notch, as they will be powered by either Exynos or Snapdragon chipsets depending on the region. The Exynos variant will use a deca-core Exynos 2500 SoC with a 5nm process and ARM’s Cortex-X2 core. The Snapdragon variant will use a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC with a 4nm process and ARM’s Cortex-X2 core.
Both chipsets will offer significant improvements in performance and efficiency over their predecessors. They will also support 5G connectivity and Wi-Fi 6E standards.
The RAM and storage configurations of the Galaxy S24 series are not confirmed yet, but we can expect them to offer at least 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage for the base model and up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage for the Ultra model. The phones may also have a microSD card slot for further expansion.
The battery capacity and charging speed of the Galaxy S24 series are also unknown at this point. However, some reports suggest that Samsung may increase the battery size of the base and models by 100mAh each compared to their predecessors. This means that the Galaxy S24 may have a 4,100mAh battery, while the Galaxy S24+ may have a 4,800mAh battery. The Ultra model may retain its 5,000mAh battery size.
The charging speed of the Galaxy S24 series may also be improved, as Samsung is reportedly working on a 65W fast charging technology. This could enable the phones to charge from 0 to 100 percent in less than an hour. The phones may also support wireless charging and reverse wireless charging at 15W and 4.5W respectively.
Camera and Other Features
The camera is one of the most anticipated aspects of the Galaxy S24 series, as Samsung has teased some of the features and capabilities of the upcoming phones. The Galaxy S24 series will have a 200-megapixel primary camera with ISOCELL Zoom Anyplace technology. This technology will allow the phones to simultaneously capture the full field of view and zoomed-in areas on video, up to 4x level at 4K quality. This will also enable the users to zoom in on subjects in the corner and save them at 4K quality.
The primary camera will also have automatic subject tracking, which will track an individual subject in the video in real-time. The primary camera will also have end-to-end (E2E) AI remosaic, which will perform remosaicing and image signal processing concurrently, resulting in richer details and colors.
The other cameras of the Galaxy S24 series are not confirmed yet, but we can expect them to include:
- A telephoto lens with optical zoom and optical image stabilization (OIS)
- An ultra-wide-angle lens with autofocus and macro mode
- A depth sensor or a laser autofocus sensor
- A periscope lens with up to 100x digital zoom and OIS (only for the Ultra model)
The selfie camera of the Galaxy S24 series is also unknown at this point, but we can expect it to have at least a 10-megapixel sensor with autofocus and OIS. The selfie camera may also support HDR10+ video recording and dual video calls.
One of the most intriguing features that the Galaxy S24 series will support is satellite communication. This feature will allow users to make calls and send messages without relying on cellular networks or Wi-Fi. This could be useful in remote areas or during emergencies. However, this feature may be limited to certain regions and require additional hardware or software.
The Galaxy S24 series will also have other features such as:
- Stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support
- An ultrasonic under-display fingerprint scanner
- Face recognition
- Samsung DeX
- Samsung Pay
- Bixby
- Knox security
- IP68 water and dust resistance
The software of the Galaxy S24 series will be Android 14 with One UI 4.0 on top. Android 14 is the latest version of Google’s operating system, which brings new features such as Ultra HDR, Material You design, Privacy Dashboard, Live Translate, and more. One UI 4.0 is Samsung’s custom skin, which adds more features and customizations to Android 14.
Conclusion
