The Galaxy S24 series is the next big thing from Samsung, which will be a gift from the firm’s side to the lovers of the Galaxy S flagship series. We have enough time—around two months—for the release of the S24 gadgets, but till now we have come across plenty of information, or, in other words, speculations. With all that information, we can prepare a brief report on the Galaxy S24 series.
Early Unpacked Event for the Galaxy S24 Series:
Samsung always has a traditional timeline, which it follows every time for each and every series of its Galaxy smartphones and tablets. The Galaxy S23 series was released in February 2023, but its successor will come out quite earlier than before. Looking back to the release of the fifth generation of foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5, a little earlier, Samsung has proved that it can change the time frame based on their wishes. Following up with several reports, January 17, 2024, is when the Unpacked Galaxy event will be held in San Jose, California, USA, which is the home of its top rival Apple.
Galaxy S24 variants:
The Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra are the three sets of variants that will be included in the series for launch. S24 will be the basic model, followed by the Plus variant, which will be a little enhanced, and finally the Ultra variant, which will be the most advanced and expensive one, with improved camera features and display among the three of them.
Processor :
The Samsung Exynos 2400 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 are the two processors that will power up the S24 trio. The Galaxy S24 and S24+ will be powered up by the Exynos 2400 based on the region; however, the ultra variant will be occupied with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor all around the world.
Price range:
It is still too early to talk about the price of the Samsung Galaxy S24, although taking into account what happened with the Z Fold5 compared to the previous model, we can expect a generalized price increase in all models in the line.
Display and Appearance:
The Galaxy S24 and S24+ are expected to have flat screens, straight side edges, and aluminum and glass bodies, while the other two devices are expected to maintain a design that is consistent with the current generation, with curves reserved for the Ultra model only. As of right now, it is evident that all the S24 models will have highly similar designs, as per the leaked images.
With perfectly symmetrical bezels running the length of the screen, the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s front will see the most changes. Dynamic AMOLED 2x high-quality display screens are also anticipated for improved brightness.
The smartest Galaxy phones from Samsung:
It is said that the Galaxy S24 series will be the smartest phones ever released by Samsung. The Galaxy S24 series will also be pre-installed with the Android 14-based One UI 6.1 software update, which will bring more AI-integrated cutting-edge technology to the smartphones. It is expected that some AI features will come with paid subscriptions for users.
Following the successful launch of the Galaxy S24 flagship device, several rumors have started circulating on the internet. Now, according to the latest development, there is a new listing coming in the highlight, which means the phone is under development and will be available on the market soon.
Some reports suggest that the Galaxy S24 FE, currently under development under the code name R12, could make its market debut in late 2024. Rumors suggest that the Galaxy S24 FE will initially be available in limited markets before potentially launching globally in 2024.
The Internet has also surfaced some rumored specs of the S24 FE, revealing several details about the device, including a 6.1-inch AMOLED display, 128 GB and 256 GB of RAM, and 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM. It might have a 4500 mAh battery for power backup.

Samsung Galaxy devices come with numerous customizable applications that offer a multitude of options, enabling users to easily customize the UI elements and participate in the Galaxy ecosystem. Among the many modules available, the Lockstar module offers the ability to customize the lock screen.
With the lockstar module, users get some additional options to customize the lock screen and AOD of the Galaxy smartphone and tablet. Unfortunately, it doesn’t provide the AOD-related customization feature for the Galaxy S24 yet, but now there is good news for the users as the company has confirmed to provide some additional settings for managing the Always on Display screen.
According to the information, some Galaxy S24 users in Korea have made numerous complaints and demanded some customizability of AOD through Lockstar. However, it is unclear if these changes will be implemented through the next application update or in a different way. However, the Good Lock support team has confirmed that they are actively working on this issue.
If we talk about the AOD customization option available on other devices, you can change the color and style of the clock and other elements, and you can also manage the brightness of the AOD manually.
