Samsung has officially disclosed that its Galaxy Unpacked in-person event is scheduled to take place in San Jose on January 17th, 2024, after rumors. Anticipated at the event are the Samsung Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphones.
The invitation teases, 'Galaxy AI is coming,' suggesting the incorporation of AI features. It encourages attendees to 'Experience the epic in everyday life like never before.' Notably, the introduction of the S23 series occurred on February 1st, 2023, making this year's event a few weeks earlier, preceding the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in February.
According to speculations, the S24 Ultra is expected to feature a 6.8-inch QHD+ 120Hz AMOLED screen and will come with an S Pen stylus coordinated with the phone's color. The primary camera is rumored to house a 200MP sensor, accompanied by a familiar ultra-wide camera. Additionally, it is rumored to include a 10MP 3x zoom camera. A noteworthy change is the introduction of a new 50MP telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom, replacing the previous 10MP, 10X camera.
Similar to its predecessors, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is rumored to house a 5000 mAh battery with 45W fast charging and wireless charging support. Notably, this time, the phone is said to feature a titanium frame.
The S24 and S24+ are rumored to be available in gray, black, yellow, and violet colors, mirroring the options offered for the Ultra. Unlike the Ultra, these models are expected to feature an aluminum frame instead of the exclusive titanium frame. Depending on the market, the phones are speculated to utilize either the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or Exynos 2400 SoC.
Both variants are rumored to sport a 6.2/6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED screen. The camera setup is expected to include a 50-megapixel main camera, a 10MP telephoto camera with 3x zoom, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and a 12MP front camera. The Galaxy S24 is said to house a 4000 mAh battery with 25W fast charging, while the S24+ is expected to feature a 4900 mAh battery with 45W fast charging and wireless charging support.
