The new Samsung Galaxy S24 series is expected to launch in the upcoming months, but we already have a good glimpse of all the phones in this flagship series, thanks to many leaks and rumors. Therefore, if you're considering purchasing the Samsung Galaxy S23 now, there is one more option you might want to consider: should you hold off on it and wait for the Samsung Galaxy S24?

Despite being only a few months old, the Galaxy S23 series has already seen many price cuts, which has led to consumers asking themselves if they need to spend the extra money on the upcoming flagship. However, Samsung has several significant changes planned for the Galaxy S24 line, so it could be worth the wait.

In this article, we will explain why waiting for the Samsung Galaxy S24 models could be a wise decision, but we will also talk about the benefits of sticking with the Samsung Galaxy S23 series.


Why should you wait for the new Samsung Galaxy S24 series?

Better processor

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and the other two S24 devices that are going to be unveiled later this month will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The high-frequency chipset would guarantee users reliable and consistent performance.

This processor would be a significant improvement over the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in the Samsung Galaxy S23 and is expected to offer unmatched power and efficiency.


Faster charging speeds

Charging speed, one of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series' shortcomings, might finally improve with the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 series as the latter will allegedly include a dual-battery design. This might enable quicker charging up to 65W, similar to OnePlus and Oppo's Dart or VOOC charging.

We have already seen phones with this charging technology, but this would be Samsung's first offering in this category. The brand has had a maximum charging support of 45W so far. Other benefits of a dual battery setup include a smaller design and more flexibility for hardware modifications.


Flatter LTPO display

The Samsung Galaxy S23 series came without any LTPO display support, so all the devices ran only on standard 60Hz and faster 120Hz refresh rate. But with the Samsung Galaxy S24 series, Samsung could announce LTPO support on all the models, according to reliable reports.

This is great news as it implies all three smartphones will be more battery-efficient. The refresh rate could go down to up to 1Hz automatically to conserve battery. All the S24 devices are also expected to have a flat display, which would be less prone to cracks or scratches.


Upgraded camera

The primary camera of the Galaxy S23 Ultra has seen a significant boost in the camera department thanks to the 200MP ISOCELL HP2 imaging sensor. Given that Samsung typically uses the same sensors for a few lineups, it's unlikely this will change with the next Ultra. Additionally, it is probable that the primary 50MP ISOCELL GN3 sensor seen in the S23 and S23 Plus will remain in place.

But, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra could come with a 50MP telephoto sensor instead of the 10MP telephoto camera. This could mean better images and video support while zooming and support for more than 10X optical zoom.

No major design changes

The Samsung Galaxy S24 series won't be out for some months, so there is no substantial information about its design. Nonetheless, a number of speculations indicate that the portfolio's overall design will remain mostly unchanged, aside from a few minor material adjustments.


Price

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Series has seen major discounts in the US in the past few months, and we could see the same trend in the upcoming Black Friday sales. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy S24 series could see a major price bump compared to its predecessors, especially in the European and US markets.


You can expect loads of upgrades from the Galaxy S24 family if you are willing to wait for it — a faster processor, a better camera, advanced software feautres, and more. However, if you're in need of a new phone and don't always care for the latest, most impressive models, the S23 lineup is a great option. You will still get many years of OS upgrades and enjoy the same design features as the successor models.
