The upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event will set the bar for all flagship phones in 2024. The Galaxy S24 Ultra is a product from Samsung that seeks to define the future of smartphones.
First of all, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has to be the proverbial “really good phone.” There can’t be any obvious mistakes, there can’t be anything weaker than the opposition, and the Galaxy S24 Ultra must be essentially everything a consumer expects from a major Android flagship. . Samsung’s iterative approach to Ultra devices means it can easily continue with the spec upgrades necessary for the success of the S23 Ultra.
It’s also worth remembering that the S24 Ultra is part of a family of mobile phones. The Galaxy S24’s branding has a halo effect. This means that Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ devices must also comply with the standard. Any issues with devices lower in the portfolio will affect the S24 Ultra.
This is one reason why the community is sensitive to the differences between Exynos and the Snapdragon chipsets used in lower-tier models. Luckily for those looking for ultimate power, the S24 Ultra exclusively runs Samsung’s more popular Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
Due to Samsung’s popularity, press interest, and leadership role in the Android space, the Galaxy S24 Ultra will be seen as a device that can compete with future flagships.
Updated: Monday, January 8th. At the company’s CES press conference, Samsung outlined his broader vision for AI in technology. the title is”AI for All – Connectivity in the Age of AI”, Samsung Device Experience CEO Jong-He “JH” Han introduced several partners and devices that bring AI to consumers.

To do. The AI Hub is part of the laundry combo and provides AI for your washer and dryer.
On the consumer electronics side, Samsung took the opportunity to showcase the AI features of its recently launched Galaxy Book4 laptop. There was no specific mention of the Galaxy S24 family, but there was a smartphone-shaped hole throughout the presentation.
A hole that will be filled by the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event.
The next Galaxy Unpacked event will lean heavily into the use of artificial intelligence in smartphones. If you see an invitation that screams “Galaxy AI is coming” and haven’t seen the signs yet, you’ll be giving up on the game. Korean companies are not indifferent to events. Its Samsung Gauss AI system was officially announced at the end of 2023.
Some specific AI features are already being tracked around the camera, and the Galaxy AI-powered Zoom was featured in a teaser video ahead of the Galaxy Unpacked event. More importantly, both Qualcomm and Samsung ensure that their respective Snapdragon and Exynos chipsets have dedicated hardware to power their AI and ML software routines.
Samsung’s Exynos joins Qualcomm’s Snapdragon, MediaTek’s Dimensity, and Google’s Tensor to provide and power hardware support for AI and ML routines. That means the Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra devices could have easily used different visions of hardware to bring AI to life, but they end up consolidating the market. This is how we bring AI to the entire Android ecosystem.
In all of this, don’t discount how comfortable consumers are buying Samsung devices. Google’s launch of his Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro handsets built on his AI promise, but Pixel and Galaxy devices don’t have the same market share. Samsung can bring AI to the widest possible markets around the world.
Consumers walking into a store to “buy a new Samsung” will have AI in their hands, first with the S24 family, and throughout the year with new Galaxy A devices and Galaxy Tabs. The practical impact of AI on photography will be part of his OneUI, and “Galaxy AI” will definitely be mentioned during the launch and in all his POS departments.
There is another area where Samsung can set standards going forward. The company could match Google’s promise to provide seven years of software and security updates across the Galaxy S series. Google has shown how attractive this is. This puts Samsung at the forefront of the broader consumer market.
Samsung focuses on AI, consumer trust in the brand, and delivering extended support for software and hardware, and how the Galaxy S24 could shape the smartphone world in 2024 is determined.
