    Samsung is preparing for the launch of its Galaxy S24 5G series.

    South Korean tech giant Samsung is gearing up for the much-anticipated launch of its Galaxy S24 5G series in India next year. While the official release date is yet to be confirmed, a recent real-life image of the Galaxy S24 Ultra has stirred speculation about its design.

    What To Expect?

    The flagship is anticipated to boast a 6.78-inch QHD+ 120Hz LTPO AMOLED screen, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (in select markets), and run on OneUI 6 based on Android 14. The device is likely to house a robust 5,000mAh battery supporting 45W wired charging and wireless charging.

    Camera enthusiasts can look forward to a powerful setup, featuring a 200MP + 12MP + 50MP + 10MP rear configuration and a 12MP selfie shooter.

    Latest Leaks

    As the leaks continue to unfold, recent images on X from users David Martin and Ice Universe depict a silver-hued Galaxy S24 Ultra with a flatter screen compared to its predecessors, deviating from Samsung's traditional curved display. This change, while sparking excitement, remains speculative until officially confirmed.


    Further reports suggest that Samsung might introduce three devices within the Galaxy S24 series: Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus, and Galaxy S24 Ultra.

    Notable upgrades are expected in terms of processor, camera capabilities, and additional features.


    Generative AI & Subscription Models

    The Galaxy S24 Ultra may incorporate Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities, potentially similar to the Google Pixel 8 lineup, with on-device and cloud-based functionalities. Speculations indicate the inclusion of generative AI for photo creation and editing, possibly offered through a subscription model.

    Samsung has not officially announced any features at this time.

    Although some rumours suggested a completely flat screen, a source from South Korea hints at minor curves on the sides, adding a new dimension to the device's aesthetics.

    According to a report by SamMobile, user @RoderSuper on X claims that the S24 Ultra may feature a curved bezel measuring 0.3-0.4mm.


    While top and bottom bezels are expected to be up to 50 per cent slimmer than the current Galaxy S23 Ultra, side bezels are likely to remain unchanged in width. The authenticity of this information is crucial to note, as it is not from official channels.

    While the design changes, including the departure from curved screens, are generating discussions among fans, many details remain speculative.

    The Samsung Galaxy S24 leaks also suggest the continuation of the distinctive camera design with rear cameras housed in individual metal rings. Rumours hint at features like a shortcut to the Instagram camera on the lock screens, catering to users who rely on Instagram's camera filters and features.
