Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Design & Specs
The new smartphone, the Galaxy S24, looks quite similar to its predecessor, the Galaxy S23 Ultra. It features a squared design with distinct corners and slightly curved edges, although not as much as its younger sibling. Rumors suggest that it will measure about 162.3 x 79 x 8.7 mm, making it a bit shorter, wider, and thinner compared to the previous model. At first glance, telling it apart from its predecessor might be a bit challenging, as it still has prominent camera lenses integrated into the body, arranged in a vertical line, and buttons like the power button and volume rocker on the right side. However, the frame is expected to be made of titanium this time, resulting in a slightly lighter device.
Under the hood, you can expect a large 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED LTPO display with a WQHD+ resolution and a peak brightness of 2500 nits. It will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, which should also be available in Europe, possibly in an enhanced “For Galaxy” version similar to the current model. You’ll have options for 12 or 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB, 512 GB, or even 1 TB of internal storage. Rumors suggest a four-camera setup on the rear, including a whopping 200MP main sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and a 50MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. The phone will also support 5G with dual SIM capability, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, UWB (Ultra-Wideband), and feature a USB Type-C port. Powering it all will be a 5000 mAh battery with 45W fast charging.
Notably, the flagship might support satellite connectivity for emergency calls and messages. Samsung’s robust software support is expected once again, with the smartphone launching with Android 14 and One UI 6.1, ensuring it receives updates up to at least Android 18, offering a minimum of four years of operating system updates and five years of security patches.

The first quarter of 2024 is already over; during this interval, Samsung has introduced several Galaxy smartphones of particular belonging, such as the flagship Galaxy S24 series, the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35, the mid-range ones, the Galaxy A15 and Galaxy F15, the budgetable ones, and many more. But the fact is, after being the latest smartphones, they have a lack of ‘charging speed.’
Undoubtedly, Samsung is leading the tech industry with its top-notch features, design, and larger batteries, as compared to other Android manufacturers, but despite all this, it has a massive lack of charging speed. Samsung usually attaches larger batteries to its Galaxy smartphones to enhance the users’ non-stop-using experience. But a larger battery isn’t worth it unless it has a good charging speed.
On the other hand, Chinese manufacturers are equipping their smartphones with charging speeds north of 100W, whereas 45W is the maximum speed you can get on Galaxy smartphones. However, even 45W charging is quite rare among Galaxy phones. Samsung has launched most of the Galaxy devices in the last couple of years, including the flagship with support for 25W.
Here we are making things easy for you if you are looking to buy a Galaxy smartphone that debuted in 2024 with the support of 45W charging speed by mentioning a list of devices:
- Galaxy S24 Ultra
- Galaxy S24+
- Galaxy F55
- Galaxy M55
- Galaxy C55
The list is quite short, even considering that the Galaxy F55, M55, and C55 are just rebranded variants of the same smartphone for different regions. Now Samsung is setting up to launch its next-generation foldable devices, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, in July, but it is yet to be confirmed whether these devices will get a boost in charging speeds from 25W or not.
The Korean brand – Samsung has recently announced its two mid-range Galaxy smartphones – Galaxy A55 5G and Galaxy A35 5G. A new benchmark listing has a spot for Samsung’s affordable smartphone, Galaxy35 5G.
Samsung is now gearing up for its next affordable Galaxy smartphone, the M35 5G, as the reports are unvunveilhey have found a new benchmark listing for Samsung the Galaxy M35 5G.

The codename for the motherboard is also mentioned, which is ‘s5e8835.’ The reports say that it has scored 656 and 1967 points in performance scores on the benchmarking platform. Exynos 1380 is the latest chipset of the Korean brand, which is a 5 nm processor. It consists of 4 Cortex A78 cores, which clock at 2.4GHz, and 4 Cortex A55 cores, which clock at 2.0GHz. It is coupled with a Mali g68 MP5 GPU. It also has an AI Engine.
