Samsung’s new Galaxy S24 series sets the standard for flagship smartphones in 2024. As the launch approaches, three key decisions will reveal the future of the Samsung Galaxy.
These three key decisions concern core specifications, chipset selection, and launch window. How your handset performs every day, its ultimate performance, and when you can get it.
First, the main specifications of the device. Several networks around the world list model numbers and options, so unless Samsung’s own store has a last-minute exclusive, your options are:
“The Galaxy S24 will have 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage. The Galaxy S24+ will have 12GB of RAM and 256GB or 512GB of storage. And the Galaxy S24 Ultra will have 12GB of RAM. ” and 256 GB, 512 GB, or 1 TB of storage. ”
The Galaxy S24 Ultra has been spotted on various benchmarking websites over the past few months, with a 16 GB model listed. With only 12 GB of RAM listed worldwide, the community is wondering how much of an impact this low level of RAM will have on performance.
If we want to talk about performance, what matters is Samsung’s decisions regarding the chipset for the entire Galaxy S24 series. Unlike the Galaxy S23 family, where all devices sold were equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chipset, the Galaxy S24 family uses a customized Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 For Galaxy and Samsung’s latest Exynos 2400. It will be installed in combination.
Traditionally, Exynos-based Galaxy devices have suffered from poor performance and battery life. It’s not a huge difference, but it’s noticeable, especially for consumers looking for a premium experience. To compensate, all top-of-the-line Galaxy S24 Ultra handsets will have a Snapdragon chip, while the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ will have a mix of Snapdragon and Exynos. Model availability depends on your region. We are waiting for the sales decision made by Samsung.
Finally, the release date. Samsung has yet to announce details of its next Galaxy Unpacked launch event, but the community has long believed that January 17th will be the release date for the Galaxy S24 family. Multiple sources reiterated this date during December.Latest this week Written by famous forecaster Evan Blassciting marketing materials that list the release time as January 18th at 3am KT, which translates to January 17th at 10am Pacific Time and 1pm Eastern Time.
As Forbes’ Janhoi McGregor points out, the material includes the memorable phrase “Galaxy AI is coming,” which likely means Samsung is pushing AI as the smartphone frontier everyone will explore in 2024. This is the most important sign that it will become part of a trend.
Updated: Sunday, December 24th. The earlier-than-usual launch of the next Galaxy S devices will have a knock-on effect on the last smartphone in the S23 family. Galaxy S23 Fan Edition was announced in early OctoberDespite this, Samsung is already offering huge discounts on the device.
Mihaly Matej reports on the latest offer. If you purchase through Samsung’s website, you’ll get $100 off the ticket price directly, bringing the 128GB model to $529 and the 256GB model to $589. Samsung also offers trade-in discounts of up to $300, depending on the Samsung model you want to return (Samsung will also consider some of its competitors’ phones, including the Google Pixel and Apple iPhone).
The Galaxy S23 FE is a great all-around smartphone. It’s not aiming for ultimate performance, using the same combination as the Galaxy S22, either Exynos 2200 or Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, but it appears to offer the Galaxy S feature set at the lowest possible price. Branding is key here, and naming your S23 the same as the regular His S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra can give you a huge advantage in a retail environment.
This advantage will slow down once Samsung moves to the S24 brand. Although it’s only been three months, it makes a lot of sense to get discounts now to get as many consumers into the Galaxy ecosystem as possible.
Updated: Monday, December 25th. One of the long-standing areas in which smartphones have been evaluated is their cameras. New hardware and software are scrutinized at the time of mobile phone launch. Samsung is bringing the camera game, with the Galaxy S24 Ultra leading the way.
Writing for SamMobilechosen by Adrian Farooqi Images of new camera module leaked These are before they’re built into premium phones, and the hardware lines up nicely with what we already know about quad main cameras, specifically a 200-megapixel primary, a 12-megapixel ultrawide , it comes with a 10 megapixel telephoto lens. , 50 megapixel telephoto.
Last year, the Galaxy S23 Ultra received a very high DXOMark score of 140, but it highlighted several areas for improvement. These include zoom results that fall slightly short of the opposite due to relatively high noise, low-light white balance, and reduced contrast when the subject is backlit. Expect these areas to be explored in more detail when the S24 Ultra is reviewed.
