Wait Is Over: Samsung Galaxy S24 Now in Your Hands, Wherever You Are
The wait is over here; Samsung Electronics announced the global availability of the latest flagship Galaxy Series.
It’s already been revealed that the Galaxy S24 lineup has garnered a countable as well as remarkable review since its number of pre-orders is revealing itself and that the Galaxy S24 series is getting an impressive review from fans. The statistics state that the Galaxy S24 Ultra has 65% more consumers as compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
It is being unveiled by the Samsung Newsroom that from January 31st, the Galaxy Series, which includes the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra, is going to be available widely through carriers as well as retailers. Also, interested parties can also get it through Samsung.com.
Usually, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has arrived in Titanium Gray, Titanium Black, Titanium Violet, and Titanium Yellow shades. Whereas the Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 are available in Onyx Black, Marble Gray, Cobalt Violet, and Amber Yellow colors, However, the more exclusive color options will be available at Samsung.com for the Galaxy S24 Ultra device, which includes Titanium Blue, Titanium Orange, and Titanium Green, and the Galaxy S24+ Galaxy S24 in Sapphire Blue, Sandstone Orange, and Jade Green shades.
The Galaxy S24 brings brand new AI features as per the convenience of the users. Regarding this, TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile Experience Business at Samsung Electronics, stated that ““the launch of the Galaxy S24 series demonstrates our initial step toward a new era of AI phones that go beyond the current martphone.”
The brand has introduced many Galaxy AI features, such as Circle to Search, Live Translation, Note Assist, Photo Assist, AI-powered camera tools, and many more. However, for now, all these options are available to the Galaxy S24 series only; for instance, the new ProVisual Engine, a suite of AI-powered camera tools that maximizes creative freedom, and whatnot.
It is expected that, as soon as possible, Samsung will make these brand new generative AI features more accessible by expanding its ways and offering more language support. We are also making these features available to more devices, such as the Galaxy S23 series, the recent foldable series Galaxy Z Fold 5, and the Tab S9, through future software updates. In general terms, it can be said that the Korean giants are standardizing AI and committing to longer software support for their Galaxy devices.
Finally, Samsung started distributing the waiting One UI 6.1 update to more Galaxy flagship devices that debuted in 2021 and 2022. Now a total of 19 Galaxy devices have gotten their Android 14-based One UI 6.1 update.
Samsung has added new devices to the list of One UI 6.1, which are as follows:
- Galaxy S22 series, Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Z Flip 4, Galaxy Z Fold 3, and Galaxy Flip 3.
The Galaxy S22 series, including the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra, is on the list of devices getting One UI 6.1, but it appears that Samsung may have delayed the rollout due to errors a few users have faced after updating their smartphones.
It is reported that the rollout was paused because some Galaxy S22 units may fail to boot or unlock after the update has been installed. However, users on the Samsung Community forums in Korea, the only market where One UI 6.1 has been released for now, don’t appear to have run into issues themselves.
However, Samsung has yet to officially confirm that it has paused the rollout and even acknowledged any issues, so at the moment, it’s not exactly confirmed that the update has been taken off the air. The Galaxy S22 series owners who didn’t get the One UI 6.1 update yet might want to wait for more details to come out before proceeding with the installation.
If the users are afraid of the issue and want to avoid the risk, they might consider waiting until the Korean giant fixes these problems before installing the update.
Samsung has kept the same battery capacity for the flagship devices while also sticking to the same fast charging speed. If we look at the Galaxy S Ultra devices from the Galaxy S22 Ultra, the company has stuck with 45 W charging and the same 5000 mAh battery. According to the latest report, the Galaxy S25 Ultra may also use the same battery and specifications.
Previous, it was rumored that the Galaxy S24 Ultra could be equipped with stacked battery technology, which could lead to maximizing the component cost, but now, according to an X user named Sawyer Galox, it is reported that the Korean giant will skip this hardware change on the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra to save on component cost.
Along with this, the tipster also expressed his disappointment with Samsung’s take on the unchained hardware. He adds that users who want to buy the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra should keep their expectations low with the battery performance, as Samsung will keep the specs the same with the 500mAh battery and the 45W.
However, the company will also introduce its latest device with new chipsets that may provide improved optimization, which may provide some long-lasting battery life, but it will not provide any improvement in charging.
Samsung is preparing to introduce its next-generation foldable device, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. However, given that the new smartphones in the Z lineup typically launch between July and August, some rumors suggest that the company might host the next Galaxy Unpacked event on July 10, 2024. Despite the date being more than three months away, numerous details have surfaced online.
According to recent reports, Samsung plans to implement its dual chipset strategy for the foldable, mirroring the Galaxy S series lineup, where some models of the Galaxy S base and Galaxy S+ devices feature Snapdragon, while in other markets, they feature Exynos.
The next foldable lineup rumoured to come with multiple chipsets; for example, the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s last Geekbench listing showed that it has the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. However, this processor is already one year old, so there are fewer expectations that it could be available in the main models. However, if a rumor proves to be accurate, it could potentially be available for the FE variant of the devices.
For your information, the rumors have revealed that Samsung could introduce two new versions of the foldable devices with the brand names ‘FE’ and ‘Ultra‘, so to make the difference, it may introduce them in separate chipsets. If it provides the older chipset for the FE version, then it will be successful in cost-cutting and releasing the device at a low cost.
