Samsung Galaxy S24 expected release date

There are rumors that the Samsung Galaxy S24 will go on sale in January or February next year.

Following the Galaxy Unpacked event on February 1, 2023, which introduced the Galaxy S23 series, expectations were high for unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy S24 in February 2024. However, a new report from South Korean outlet The Elec has raised uncertainty about this anticipated release window.

According to the report, Samsung intends to introduce the Galaxy S24 series early. To what extent? Well, the tech giant intends to delay it by one month, which means the next-generation flagship smartphone line might debut in January 2024.

RAM	8/12GB/16GB	8/12GB

Performance

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S-series devices will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. Game Clients further stated that the new processor will feature a GPU that is 50% quicker than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 found inside the Galaxy S23 range, citing a report from China.

Interestingly, the graphics powered by the A16 Bionic were slower than the Adreno 740 paired with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. So, one can assume that the upcoming Adreno GPU, probably named Adreno 750, may outperform the A17 Pro found within the iPhone 15 Pro models.

Cameras

If we trust the tweets from Ice Universe, two telephoto options will be available on the Ultra model: a 10MP lens with a 3X optical zoom and a 50MP camera with a 5x optical zoom. Two 10MP telephoto cameras—one with a 10X zoom and the other with a 3X zoom—are featured on the S23 Ultra.

This implies that the 50MP, 5X camera might replace the 10MP, 10X sensor. This should result in a lower optical range for the new telephoto sensor on the forthcoming Ultra before the digital-zoom software activates, but theoretically, better and clearer images. These features make the S24 lineup ahead of the competition for the best upcoming smartphones coming in 2024.

More leaks on the display by Sam Lover, the S24 Ultra version might get an upgrade to a curved 144Hz display with respect to the 120Hz panel in the current Ultra model.
