Galaxy S24: all the information

Samsung will use a continuous design, albeit with nuances
The Galaxy S24 family will not introduce major changes on a design level compared to the current generation, which means that:
- The minimalist finish will remain, with an all-screen front with a floating island for front-facing camera integration.
- Samsung will repeat the vertical arrangement of the rear cameras, which will also be integrated into the chassis again.
- Again we will have two clearly differentiated parts, a metal chassis and two front and back glass layers.
- The standard and plus Galaxy S24 will have rounded corners, while the Ultra model will have a more angular surface.
The only significant change that Samsung will introduce in the standard and plus Galaxy S24 will be the use flat metal frame, with a finish similar to the one we’ve seen from Apple since the launch of the iPhone 12. In the case of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, we also find a completely flat display.
Samsung was rumored to be using a titanium frame in all models of this new generation, but in the end it was denied and we know that this material It will only be used on the Ultra model. Others will repeat the surface treatment of aluminum and glass.

Smart smartphones are revolutionizing this sector

Samsung is rumored to make the Galaxy S24 the smartest smartphone ever, thanks to a successful combination of algorithms and hardware. On the hardware side, the Galaxy S24 will be equipped with a Neural Processing Unit, also known as NPU, which will offer a high level of performance with advanced algorithms.
The level of performance that the NPU represents in the new SoCs that the Galaxy S24 will mount will be key to the movement. Samsung Gauss, a generative artificial intelligence ecosystem which in principle could be limited to this new generation, that is, it would not be compatible with the Galaxy S23 or older, and it will allow you to use very interesting advanced features, among which we can highlight:
- Generative language functionswhich will allow us to use AI to write emails, translate content and even calls in real time, as well as summarize texts and meetings.
- display function, with which we can create images with a simple description, edit them, change specific aspects of their style and even adjust and improve their final resolution to suit our needs.
- Code generation functionwhich will offer the possibility to generate code at different levels with very simple descriptions and even allow us to test that it works as it should.
Galaxy S24 prices
- Galaxy S24: it will cost 899 euros in the 128 GB version that uses UFS 3.1 and 959 euros in the 256 GB version that comes with UFS 4.0.
- Galaxy S24+: it will be worth the price 1,149 euros in the version with 256 GB and 1,269 euros in the version with 512 GB.
- Galaxy S24 Ultra: we will have to pay 1,449 euros for the 256 GB version, 1,569 euros for the 512 GB version and 1,809 euros for the 1 TB version.
Date of publication
As I told you at the beginning of the article, the presentation of this new generation of smartphones is scheduled for January 17, but its launch has not yet been confirmed. All in all, if we take what Samsung did with the Galaxy S23 as a reference, we can get the estimated Galaxy S24 launch date: between 24 and 31 January.
It is very likely that Samsung will offer special pre-purchase offers Galaxy S24, and that these include discounts or peripherals. We also have previous generations as precedents, so we can take it for granted. If it is clear to you that you will want to buy one of these terminals, it pays to buy it in advance so that you can enjoy the current promotion.
Is the Galaxy S24 worth buying?

The truth is like this It will depend on the smartphone you currently have. If you have a Galaxy S23 or even a Galaxy S22, the answer is clearly no, as you won’t experience an improvement in performance or user experience big enough to justify the money you’ll have to spend.
In the former case, however, there would be a single exception, that you jump from the Galaxy S22 to the Galaxy S24 Ultra. In this case, you will enjoy a significant improvement in terms of performance and a big jump in terms of cameras, although you already know that the price will be high, since we are talking about a terminal that will cost 1,449 euros.
If you have a Galaxy S21 or older, you should consider the Galaxy S24 as a possible upgrade, but I’d tell you to skip the 128GB model and go straight for the 256GB model for two reasons– You will have twice the storage capacity for a little more money and that storage will be much faster.
In case you are willing to invest the 959 euros that Samsung is asking for the Galaxy S24, you will be able to enjoy a very similar user experience and all the benefits of a premium smartphone, if you opt for the Galaxy S23. Its price has dropped to 600 euros, and units with 256 GB of storage (they come with UFS 4.0) can be purchased for less than 700 euros.
Personally, I think that due to the price-performance ratio The Galaxy S23 will be a more attractive and balanced option for the average consumerand if it drops a little more in price after the arrival of the Galaxy S24, it will become a real candy. You already know that sometimes buying a “penultimate” high-end smartphone is a good choice, and this is a clear example of that.
