Samsung Galaxy S24 Series Gears Up for Possible January 2024 Debut

Highlights

  • The Galaxy S24 series, including standard, S24+, and S24 Ultra, is rumoured to be in mass production.
  • Leaks indicate a possible Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and a 6.17-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
  • Samsung may also release versions with an Exynos 2400 chipset in specific markets.

Anticipation is mounting over Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series, as multiple sources hint at a potential launch in January 2024.

The series, comprising the standard Galaxy S24, S24+, and the S24 Ultra, has reportedly entered mass production, according to credible insiders like China’s Ice Universe (cited via Tech_Reve on X).

Although the exact release date remains a subject of speculation, the general consensus from leaked information points toward a mid to late-January debut, with some insiders suggesting even earlier.

Adding credence to these reports, China’s 3C certification authority has granted approval to the standard Galaxy S24 model.

In the meantime, high-quality digital renders of both the standard and Ultra models have emerged online, providing a sneak peek into what we can expect in terms of design.

The Galaxy S24 is speculated to feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and a 6.17-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.

Battery capabilities are projected to fall between 3900mAh and 4000mAh.

In specific markets, like Korea, the standard S24 and S24+ models could be equipped with the Exynos 2400 chipset, as Geekbench listings have suggested earlier.

There’s also talk that the Galaxy S24 Ultra may exclusively feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor across all markets.

Advanced features like Zoom Anyplace and E2E AI Remosaic are expected for the S24 Ultra as well.

Leaks also hint at the possibility of a Titanium body for the series, aligning it with the design elements of the iPhone 15 Pro.

This speculated early release continues a trend Samsung has set with its previous flagships like the Galaxy S22 and S23, which launched in February of 2022 and 2023, respectively.

A shift in Samsung’s event strategy is also evident; the company is increasingly opting for global venues for its Unpacked events, moving away from its past U.S.-centric locations.
