Tech Updates : Now that January has arrived, anticipation is growing for the release of Samsung’s upcoming flagship smartphone line, the Galaxy S24 series. Every year, Samsung’s flagship S series smartphones rank among the most well-liked and powerful lineups. Here is a thorough rundown of all the design changes, state-of-the-art specifications, software improvements, camera upgrades, and other significant information we currently know about these much anticipated new handsets, as there are only a few days left before the January 17 Galaxy Unpacked event.
Design of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series
Although preliminary images indicate that the Galaxy S24 series would mostly resemble the S23 lineup, certain deliberate design improvements are anticipated. The S24 Ultra looks poised to maintain its distinctive curved edges and sleek shape, while the S24 and S24+ are expected to have totally squared-off edges for a premium feel in hand.
With the S24 Ultra rumored to have an expansive 6.8-inch 1440p flat OLED display capable of an exceptionally bright 2500 nits peak brightness—a significant upgrade from the still impressive 1750 nits panel of the S23 Ultra—Samsung appears ready to finally adopt flat displays across the S24 range. Additionally, the S24+ will have a slightly larger 6.7-inch QHD+ OLED screen as part of the display increased from the S23+’s FHD+ resolution to a smooth 120Hz refresh rate.
The S24 Ultra might employ a titanium frame instead of an aluminum one to save weight and improve portability and usability. The palm-straining 234g S23 Ultra may be a little harder to wield than the somewhat lighter S24 Ultra. Unfortunately, in order to keep costs down, aluminum is still anticipated for the S24 and S24+.
Performance of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series
There are rumors that the Galaxy S24 variants that will be available in the US and other countries would be equipped with Qualcomm’s most advanced smartphone processor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which was just launched. Samsung may decide to work with Qualcomm once more on a customized S24 chip, having employed a customized Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 variant to great effect in the S23 series.
There are differences across the accounts, though. While some insiders have predicted a uniform range running Qualcomm’s most recent chips, others have predicted that Samsung’s Exynos 2400 chip will be used in specific regions instead. India is one of these nations.
It is anticipated that RAM choices will vary from 8GB on the entry-level S24 to an enormous 12GB on the S24 Ultra, the productivity powerhouse. Rumored storage capacities of 128/256/512GB for S24, 256/512GB on S24+, and 256GB/512GB/1TB for S24 Ultra will satisfy both power users and casual users.
With a 4000mAh battery that charges at an efficient 25W on the S24, a 4900mAh battery that charges quickly at 45W on the S24+, and a massive 5000mAh battery that charges at 45W on the S24 Ultra, endurance is also likely to soar.
Camera of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series
Even while the S23 Ultra’s 200MP primary camera was already highly detailed, it is anticipated that Samsung will improve and optimize its high-resolution sensor even more on the S24 Ultra rather than significantly changing it. The rumored HP2SX product designation suggests that the HP2 sensor seen in the S23 has evolved.
Insider leaks reveal a split configuration for the crucial zoom lenses, which differ from the S23 Ultra’s single 10MP 10x optical zoom to include both a 50MP 5x optical periscope lens and a 10MP 3x optical telephoto lens. When we get our hands on the review units, we’ll be testing to see if this turns out to be an upgrade or a degradation, so stay tuned.
Regretfully, in order to keep prices down, the S24 and S24+ might have to use essentially the same 50MP primary sensor as their predecessors. However, Samsung’s advanced image processing and computational photography software capabilities may still be able to produce better images.
