And they’re unlikely to cease rolling in, so we’ll maintain this text up to date as we hear extra. When will the Samsung Galaxy S24 launch?Although Samsung’s January launch is barely sooner than its typical February time-frame, it does not come as a lot of a shock since Korean information shops SBS Biz and The Elec beforehand reported that announcement date.  Google’s Pixel 8 and 8 Pro serve up a few of Samsung’s greatest competitors. James Martin/CNETHow a lot will the Galaxy S24 value? There are not any agency particulars on pricing, however we do not anticipate any important adjustments from the S23 lineup. For reference, the bottom S23 mannequin begins at $800, the Plus at $1,000 and the Ultra at $1,200. The Galaxy S lineup has completely different fashions for folks procuring on completely different budgets and it is a tactic Samsung has used for many generations of its telephones. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5 each maintained their costs from the earlier yr, so it does not usually seem that Samsung is trying to shake up its pricing technique. What would be the greatest new characteristic within the Galaxy S24 collection?We will not know for positive till Samsung pronounces the Galaxy S24 lineup. But contemplating the corporate is already teasing its new AI applied sciences, we will possible anticipate new AI-powered options to be a significant focus within the Galaxy S24. Samsung not too long ago introduced Galaxy AI, which it describes as an “AI experience” for telephones coming early in 2024. The firm hasn’t mentioned a lot about what Galaxy AI will entail, however did present one instance: translating telephone calls. Galaxy AI will make it attainable to translate audio and textual content between languages from the native telephone app in actual time, in response to the corporate’s press launch.AI will even possible play a giant position within the Galaxy S24’s digital camera, particularly for the S24 Ultra. A widely known leaker who goes by the alias Ice Universe on X (previously Twitter) says the 200-megapixel digital camera mode will use AI to determine as much as a dozen kinds of objects and optimize the shot accordingly. This characteristic would possible be unique to the Ultra mannequin, since that is the one telephone in Samsung’s present lineup with a 200-megapixel sensor. Samsung additionally revealed its personal generative AI mannequin known as Gauss in November, which consists of three elements: Gauss Language, Gauss Code and Gauss Image. The language portion was designed for duties like summarizing paperwork and translation, whereas Gauss Image is for modifying and producing photographs. Given these bulletins, it is arduous to think about Galaxy AI and Gauss not enjoying a big position within the Galaxy S24 household. Will there be a number of Galaxy S24 variations? Almost actually, sure. As talked about, the a number of fashions technique is one which Samsung has used for a while, and all present rumors recommend the corporate will launch not less than two variations of the S24: a base mannequin and an Ultra model. Some trade analysts have instructed that the Plus mannequin is likely to be scrapped to create extra separation between the bottom and Ultra, however different sources disagree.  Lisa Eadicicco/CNETWhat concerning the Galaxy S24 collection design and show?Tipster Tech Reve suggests Samsung will probably be sticking to a lot the identical design, not less than for the bottom S24 and S24 Plus. Both telephones are anticipated to keep up the floating digital camera lenses, fairly than the stable digital camera unit seen on the sooner S22 and S22 Plus. The S24 Ultra could get some more-noticeable tweaks, together with fewer digital camera lenses seen on the again. Tech_Reve predicts that the S24 Ultra will lose the 3x digital camera lens, which is able to imply fewer lenses within the digital camera cluster. Well-known leaker Evan Blass not too long ago shared what are mentioned to be renderings and specs for the Galaxy S24 lineup, and the picture of the S24 Ultra’s digital camera association seems about equivalent to the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s. Other rumors, akin to this report from The Elec, recommend the Ultra mannequin will probably be made with a titanium body, however whether or not that is visually noticeable stays to be seen. The report says Samsung will begin with the Ultra, however could contemplate increasing the usage of titanium to different fashions sooner or later. This would notably come after Apple introduced titanium finishes to the iPhone lineup with the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max in September. The S24 Ultra may additionally have a flat display fairly than a barely curved one, in response to leaks which have surfaced on X from accounts below the aliases David Martin and SuperRoader.  Most rumors recommend that the show sizes will stay just about the identical as final yr, which means we anticipate a 6.1-inch base Galaxy S24, a 6.6-inch S24 Plus and a 6.8-inch S24 Ultra. But the leak from Blass means that the S24 and S24 Plus could have barely bigger screens at 6.2 inches and 6.7 inches respectively.  The S23 Ultra’s cameras are among the many finest round. James Martin/CNETAnd the Galaxy S24 collection cameras? Based on the rumors and leaks which have surfaced to this point, it sounds just like the Galaxy S24 lineup could have related {hardware} because the Galaxy S23 household, however with some adjustments to zoom high quality.  Some earlier studies mentioned we’ll see a a lot bigger principal digital camera sensor, whereas different newer rumors recommend the digital camera specs will stay basically the identical. The latter rumors come mainly from identified leaker Ice Universe, a supply with a superb monitor report, so the speak of an even bigger principal digital camera sensor is arguably much less thrilling. That’s a disgrace, as a result of the S23 Ultra’s cameras have not actually modified that a lot for a couple of generations, whereas competitors from each Apple and Google has remained fierce. A bigger digital camera sensor might make a major distinction in bettering picture high quality. That mentioned, Ice Universe has additionally instructed that the S24 Ultra’s 3x zoom could get a decision bump as much as 50 megapixels.More latest rumors from Ice Universe additionally recommend that Samsung could even go so far as ditching the 10x optical zoom from the Ultra and lowering it right down to 5x. On the floor which may seem to be a downgrade, however 5x zooms are usually much more usable in on a regular basis situations, with the 10x lens being helpful solely on uncommon events photographing distant objects. A high-quality 5x zoom would compete extra evenly with the 5x zooms discovered on each the Pixel 7 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. An much more latest leak from Ice Universe additionally suggests the telephones’ night time mode will get an improve too. The spec sheet from Blass, who has a stable historical past of reporting on telephone leaks, signifies the S24 Ultra could have a 200-megapixel principal digital camera just like the S23 Ultra, however with an extra 5x telephoto possibility alongside the present 2x, 3x, 10x selections and 100x “space zoom.” The S24 and S24 Plus would have a 50-megapixel sensor like their predecessors together with 2x and 3x telephoto choices, the reportedly leaked spec sheet says. How concerning the Galaxy S24 collection’ specs?Though it is virtually sure some S24 fashions will use the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, a report from Pocket-lint suggests Samsung could revert to utilizing its personal Exynos chips in sure areas. Blass’ leak certainly means that the S24 lineup will run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.  The Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus affords stable all-round efficiency. Lisa Eadicicco/CNETIn earlier generations, together with the S22 line, Samsung used Qualcomm chips in some areas (together with the US) however opted for its personal Exynos processors in different areas (together with the UK). The reasoning wasn’t at all times clear, nevertheless it was notable that the S23 line used Qualcomm silicon in all areas, with no trace of Exynos. The Galaxy S24 Ultra is predicted to have 12GB of RAM similar to the S23 Ultra, whereas the S24 Plus will reportedly get a bump from 8GB to 12GB, in response to the spec sheet from Blass. The base Galaxy S24 is alleged to have 8GB of RAM just like the S23. A earlier leak from X consumer Tarun Vats instructed the usual S24 and S24 Plus might get a bump as much as 12GB of RAM, with the Ultra going as much as 16GB. But maybe what’s extra attention-grabbing is the opportunity of longer battery life for the Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus. If the leaked specs from Blass are right, the Galaxy S24 could have a 4,000 mAh battery, whereas the S24 Plus could have a 4,900 mAh battery. That’s in comparison with the Galaxy S23’s 3,900 mAh battery and the S23 Plus’ 4,700 mAh battery. The S24 Ultra, in the meantime, is rumored to have the identical 5,000 mAh battery because the Galaxy S23 Ultra.  Anything else?We anticipate Samsung to stay with the S Pen stylus within the S24 Ultra, in addition to introduce a brand new vary of colours all through the entire collection. We’d like to see a return to expandable storage (however that will not occur), and you’ll anticipate options like IP68 water resistance, in-screen fingerprint scanners and excessive refresh price shows on all fashions.  Watch this: What to Expect From Smartphones in 2024
