The Samsung Galaxy S24 is a series of high-end Android-based smartphones developed, manufactured, and marketed by Samsung Electronics as part of its flagship Galaxy S series. They collectively serve as the successor to the Galaxy S23 series.[6][7] The phones were announced on January 17, 2024, at the Galaxy Unpacked event in San Jose, California and subsequently released on January 31, 2024.[8][9] The S24 FE was announced on September 26, 2024, and was released on October 3, 2024.[10]
Lineup
[edit]The Galaxy S24 series includes three devices, which share the same lineup and screen sizes as the previous Galaxy S23 series. The flagship Galaxy S24 features a flat 6.2-inch (155 mm) display. The Galaxy S24+ features similar hardware in a 6.7-inch (168 mm) form factor. The Galaxy S24 Ultra features a flat 6.8-inch (173 mm) display, with sharp edges, distinct from its base model counterpart. The S24 and S24+ phones are powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the USA, Canada, China, Macau, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan, while a Exynos 2400 is used in the rest of the world. The S24 Ultra is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in every market.[11][12] Conversely, the S24 FE comes with an underclocked variant of the Exynos 2400 called the Exynos 2400e in every market including North America.[13]
Design
[edit]The Galaxy S24 and S24+ have aluminum and matte glass versions and are available in four standard colors: Amber Yellow, Marble Gray, Cobalt Violet, and Onyx Black, with three additional colors available only through Samsung's website: Jade Green, Sapphire Blue and Sandstone Orange. The S24 Ultra features titanium versions of these colors.[14]
