Phones Canada Analysis: Samsung’s Upcoming Galaxy S24 Series – What We Know So Far

It is still several months away from the official announcement of Samsung’s next ultra-high-end smartphones, the Galaxy S24 series. While there are many reports and rumors circulating about the upgrades and downgrades of these devices, it can be challenging to determine which ones are reliable. However, reliable tipster Yogesh Brar has provided some insights that shed light on several key specifications for all three models of the Galaxy S24 lineup.

Screen, Build Materials, and Batteries:
The Galaxy S24 Ultra is expected to feature a flat panel and a titanium frame, indicating a radical redesign compared to the previous models. However, the exact differences in design between the S24 Ultra and the subtly curved S23 Ultra with an aluminum frame remain to be seen. While the screen size of the S24 Ultra is not mentioned, it is likely to have the same QHD+ resolution of 3088 x 1440 pixels as the S23 Ultra. On the other hand, the Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus are expected to come with FHD and QHD display resolutions respectively, without curved screens.

The battery capacities of the S24 and S24 Plus are expected to be increased to 4,000mAh and 4,900mAh respectively, compared to their predecessors’ 3,900mAh and 4,700mAh. Surprisingly, the S24 Ultra is likely to retain the same 5,000mAh battery as the S23 Ultra. Charging speeds are expected to remain unchanged, with the S24 supporting up to 25W and the S24 Plus and S24 Ultra supporting up to 45W.

Processors and Cameras:
The Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus are expected to be available in both Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Exynos 2400 variants, depending on the region. The S24 Ultra, however, will come with Qualcomm’s next state-of-the-art SoC worldwide. This marks a departure from Samsung’s previous strategy of offering different processors for different models within the Galaxy S series.

In terms of cameras, the S24 and S24 Plus are likely to retain the same triple rear camera setup as the S23 and S23 Plus, consisting of 50 + 12 + 10MP lenses. The S24 Ultra, on the other hand, is rumored to feature a quad rear-facing camera system comprised of 200, 12, 50, and 10MP sensors. Although this may sound like a significant improvement over the S23 Ultra’s camera setup, recent rumors suggest that the new 50-megapixel lens could have reduced optical zoom capabilities.

Release Date:
According to the information available, Samsung is targeting a January release for the Galaxy S24 series. However, an exact date has not yet been confirmed and is subject to change. Therefore, it is advisable to keep an eye out for any updates or last-minute revisions in the coming months.

In conclusion, while some specifications of the upcoming Galaxy S24 series have been corroborated by a reliable tipster, it’s important to remember that these details are not officially confirmed. We will continue to monitor developments and provide updates on the Phones Canada blog.
