Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is one of the most anticipated smartphones, reportedly scheduled for early 2024. The phone is expected to raise the bar for Samsung devices and offer top-of-the-line features and performance. While most details about the Galaxy S24 Ultra still remained hidden, several rumors and leaks have surfaced online that can partially tell us what to expect from Samsung’s 2024 high-end Android device.
Starting with the design, new reports have suggested that the Galaxy S24 series could launch with a titanium frame. While previous reports stated that only the Ultra variant gets a titanium frame, Samsung has allegedly changed its mind and wants to launch all the series with a titanium frame.
Among the current smartphones, the iPhone 15 Pro is the most prominent one that uses a titanium frame. However, a drop test conducted by Sam Kohl shows despite using a titanium frame, the phone is even more fragile than ever.
What to expect from Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra in 2024
As for the display, the Galaxy S24 Ultra could get the brightest screen that Samsung has ever produced. According to the leaker Ice Universe, Galaxy S24 Ultra will feature a 6.8-inch display that can reach a peak brightness of 2,500 nits. The S23 Ultra display is now offering a peak brightness of 1,750 nits. Among the rivals, the Oppo Find X6 Pro is the only phone that features a 2,500 nits panel.
Google Pixel 8 Pro is currently using a Super Actua display, capable of reaching a peak of 2,400 nits. Xiaomi also claims its 13 Ultra features a 2600-nit display.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra hardware and battery
After years of using in-house Exynos chips on S-series devices, Samsung launched the Galaxy S23 series with Qualcomm chipsets and ditched Exynos. While some reports speculate about Exynos’s comeback to Galaxy S24 Ultra, the Korean outlet The Elec reported that the phone gets a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.
The reports also added that Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ devices will either get Exynos 2400 chips or Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The units sold in South Korea and Europe are more likely to get Exynos chips. Additionally, the devices sold in North America would be snapdragon-powered.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra is expected to get the brightest display and a powerhouse under the hood. So it should have a high-capacity battery to support operations. As per current information, Galaxy S24 Ultra launches with a 5,000 mAh battery, no different than its predecessor.
The Galaxy S24 series could go live in Q1 next year. The exact unveil date is still unknown, but it should be sometime in January or February 2024.
