Samsung has just made its new Galaxy S24 official. Unsurprisingly, we have three models: the S24, the S24+ as well as the S24 Ultra. Very straightforward phones in terms of their technical characteristics, but which want to surprise in a completely different area, namely the use of AI.
After months of rumors, they are finally official! Samsung presented its Galaxy S24, its new flagship smartphones. High-end, even premium terminals, which obviously feature the best of technology.
Regarding design and technology, Samsung has not revolutionized its formula. We have a slightly redesigned chassis at the edge level on the S24 and S24+. These are thinner and flatter. We still note slightly larger screens (6.2 and 6.7 inches) compared to the S23 and S23+, but not enough to break a duck's three legs. Regarding the S24 Ultra, Samsung adjusts its recipe with a titanium chassis much lighter and pleasant under the fingers, but also a completely flat screen, unlike the curved ones of previous models.

Technically updated smartphones that rely on AI
On the technical side, Samsung promises brighter screens (up to 2600 nits) as well as better performance. The S24 Ultra features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, the most powerful SoC on the market today. Disappointment, however, for the other two models, which are equipped with an Exynos 2400. This is a little scary, the Exynos do not have a good reputation, but Samsung assures that power concerns are a thing of the past.
It is not on the technique that Samsung wants to convince, but on the use. AI is indeed at the heart of the One UI 6.1 overlay (Android 14) and allows, for example, to summarize an article online or to instantly translate a telephone conversation. A real game-changer for the manufacturer which sees this as a real revolution in uses, like that caused by the arrival of smartphones at the end of the 2000s. Note that on the software side, the brand promises 7 years of Android updates. The guarantee that your S24 will last over time.
The smartphones are already available for pre-order and will be released on January 30. If you pre-order now, Samsung doubles the storage capacity and offers a trade-in bonus of 100 euros. Here are the prices of the Galaxy S24:
