Samsung, the world’s leading smartphone manufacturer, is preparing to present the highly anticipated Galaxy S24 series on January 17, 2024. The event will take place in San Francisco, USA, two weeks earlier than the usual series presentation date in February.
The early release of the Galaxy S24 series is a strategic move by Samsung. The company announced its first losses after 14 years in 2023, which pushed Samsung to launch its folding models of 2023 earlier than usual.
The Galaxy S24 series is expected to consist of three models: the Galaxy S24, the Galaxy S24+ and the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The three models are expected to offer significant upgrades compared to the Galaxy S23 series, including new processors, improved cameras and new features.
Estimates for the features of the Galaxy S24 series
Rumours about the features of the Galaxy S24 series have been circulating for some time. According to the most recent information, the three models are expected to have the following features:
- Processors: The Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ are expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor from Qualcomm, while the Galaxy S24 Ultra is expected to feature Samsung’s Exynos 2300 processor.
- Cameras: All three models are expected to feature improved cameras, with the Galaxy S24 Ultra sporting a main camera of 200MP.
- Displays: The Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ are expected to feature 6.1 and 6.6 inch screens respectively, while the Galaxy S24 Ultra is expected to feature a 6.8 inch screen with a 120Hz refresh rate.
- Other features: All three models are expected to support 5G, Wi-Fi 6E and S Pen (only the Galaxy S24 Ultra).
Samsung is expected to officially announce the features of the Galaxy S24 series during the Galaxy Unpacked event on January 17, 2024.
How will the early release of the Galaxy S24 series affect the competition?
The early release of the Galaxy S24 series by Samsung could have a significant impact on the smartphone market competition. Apple, Samsung’s main competitor, is expected to present the new iPhone series on September 8, 2024. The early release of the Galaxy S24 series will give Samsung an eight-week advantage over Apple, enabling it to gain market share.
Moreover, the early release of the Galaxy S24 series could force other smartphone manufacturers, such as Huawei, Xiaomi and OPPO, to expedite the releases of their own devices. This could lead to a more competitive smartphone market in 2024.
