Samsung is gearing up to unveil its next-generation flagship smartphone series, the Galaxy S24, in January 2024. The company is expected to announce three models in the lineup: the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Earlier Launch
The Galaxy S24 series is expected to be launched earlier than usual. Samsung typically unveils its flagship smartphones in late February or early March, but the company is reportedly moving up the launch date for the Galaxy S24 series to January. This could be due to several factors, including increased competition from Apple and Chinese smartphone makers, as well as a desire to get the new phones out ahead of the busy holiday shopping season.
San Francisco Launch Event
The Galaxy S24 series is expected to be unveiled at an Unpacked event in San Francisco. Samsung has held its Unpacked events in San Francisco for the past several years, and it is likely to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The event is expected to be held in early January, and Samsung is expected to start sending out invitations to the event soon.
What to Expect
The Galaxy S24 series is expected to feature a number of significant upgrades over the Galaxy S23 series. The phones are expected to be powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, and they are rumored to have improved cameras, displays, and batteries. The Galaxy S24 Ultra is also rumored to have a new design with a titanium frame.
Pricing and Availability
The Galaxy S24 series is expected to be priced similarly to the Galaxy S23 series. The Galaxy S24 is expected to start at around $800, the Galaxy S24+ is expected to start at around $1,000, and the Galaxy S24 Ultra is expected to start at around $1,200. The phones are expected to be available for pre-order shortly after the Unpacked event and are expected to be released in early February.
