Samsung S24 Ultra: The speculations around the Samsung S24 Ultra are becoming more and more intense now that the company’s main phone launches for the year are behind us and its rivals have also released their autumn releases. Now is the moment to concentrate on what Samsung has in store for 2024; the Galaxy S24 Ultra seems to be the company’s finest phone yet.

Finding methods to outperform the Galaxy S23 Ultra, which had exceptional performance, exceptional battery life, and the finest cameras we’ve seen on a phone in the previous year, will be Samsung’s biggest task. However, the first speculations regarding the Galaxy S24 Ultra indicate that there’s cause for great excitement.

Samsung S24 Ultra release date and price 

Samsung has had a very active year. In February 2023, the Galaxy S23 series was unveiled, and a few months later, the midrange Galaxy A54 debuted. With the release of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5, Samsung can now focus entirely on the Galaxy S24 devices, which include the S24 Ultra.

Galaxy S phones typically make their debut in the first three months of the year; however, Samsung has been known to like to reveal its newest flagships around February. In light of this, the Galaxy S24 Ultra should have made its debut in February 2024 right next to the rest of the S24 series. 

But Samsung could have different ideas on when to release the Galaxy S24. According to an early report, Samsung could move up the debut date by around a month in reaction to the iPhone 15’s apparent success. The next Unpacked event will most likely be in San Francisco. The fact was the venue for the Galaxy S23 launch conference on February 1.

According to the most recent information, the phones may be on sale in mid-to-late January now that mass manufacturing has started. However, there is still a chance that this will alter, and a precise date is still pending.

To discuss the price of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, it is way too soon. Our greatest hope is that Samsung maintains the current level of pricing, or perhaps finds a method to bring the phone down from the $1,199 starting price of the Galaxy S23 Ultra. A price reduction would be unlikely, though, given all the high-end features Samsung bundles into that model and the growing cost of smartphone parts. 

Samsung S24 Ultra design rumors

We didn’t anticipate a dramatic design change for the Galaxy S24 Ultra, but that could change with the addition of bezels to the main display. Samsung debuted the Ultra’s design across the Galaxy S23 lineup this year, even making its less expensive Galaxy A phones look a lot like the Ultra. Even while some of the idea designs we’ve shared with this post imply a more radical new style, Samsung is likely to remain with the arrangement of its camera lenses, which loves the look of a row of lenses falling vertically down the back of its phones.

Samsung may alter the materials it uses for the Galaxy S24 Ultra design, among other things. The titanium sides of the forthcoming phone are said to replace Samsung’s Armor Aluminum, and while the Ultra is expected to receive them first, the other two models in the lineup may also receive them. 

Samsung S24 Ultra display rumors

One of the biggest screens available on a non-folding phone is the 6.8-inch panel found in the previous several Ultra models. Samsung will likely continue to use the 6.8-inch screen on the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, according to Leaker Ice Universe, would have a maximum brightness of 2,500 nits. Compared to the S23 Ultra, which has a 1,750 nit maximum brightness rating, that is 750 nits brighter.

The refresh rate of the display may be the largest modification. It is a massive display that has supported a refresh rate of 120 Hz since the Galaxy S20 Ultra. When there is less movement on the screen, more current models can scale down to 1Hz.

Samsung S24 Ultra camera rumors

This past year, Samsung made a significant update to its Ultra brand of cameras when it replaced the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s 108MP primary sensor with a 200MP one. Although SamLover claims that Samsung will enhance the sensor, we wouldn’t anticipate any significant advancement. 

This might imply anything from better color reproduction to a larger aperture to allow in more light. Later, the website stated that the sensor would grow to one inch, making it larger than the one in the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the same size as the Xiaomi 13 Ultra.

The Galaxy S23 Ultra’s specialized 3x and 10x lenses would be replaced with this. The new lens would link to a single sensor, have a periscope design, and be able to adjust the focal length. 

Renowned leaker Ice Universe fueled the intrigue about the camera by forecasting enhancements to the telephoto lens. After that, the leaker said that Samsung could opt to use a 3x zoom 50MP telephoto lens for the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Yogesh Brar, a leaker, also believes that a 50MP telephoto lens is being developed.

The same number of cameras seen on the S23 Ultra are seen in several Galaxy S24 Ultra cover photos released by Ice Universe, strengthening the theory that Samsung will remain with two telephoto lenses even if one receives a megapixel boost.

If Samsung is considering any modifications at all, we’d simply anticipate some fine-tuning there as the Galaxy S23 Ultra debuted a new front camera. The phone’s 12MP ultrawide lens is the one remaining area that may be used better.

Samsung is also altering its photo-capturing technique, moving away from the customary sequential approach and toward concurrent picture processing. This should increase capture rates by two times while also reducing latency and data loss, according to reports of improved image quality.

Although the Galaxy S24 Ultra hasn’t officially received these modifications, it seems plausible given the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3’s AI engine and dependence on a 200MP lens.

Samsung S24 Ultra specs rumors 

We won’t be taking any chances when we say that the Galaxy S24 Ultra will include the best chipset available from Qualcomm at this time next year. After years in which Samsung additionally included its own Exynos CPUs in select models, the Galaxy S23 series was powered only by Qualcomm chipsets. For the S24 phones of the next year, Samsung was reportedly planning to remain with an all-Qualcomm lineup; however, some now claim that Samsung will use Exynos CPUs once more in certain variants of its upcoming flagship.

According to leaked specifications shared by Yogesh Brar, the Exynos 2400 will power S24 Ultra versions in other areas, while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3—which Qualcomm unveiled in October—would power phones shipped in the U.S. and South Korea.

Exynos CPUs haven’t always worked as well as their Snapdragon counterparts, so although that would have been concerning in the past, Samsung could be attempting to enhance its silicon. Though they can’t match the performance of the more recent A17 Pro or the speculated Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, leaked Exynos 2400 benchmarks show the processor achieving higher multicore scores on Geekbench than we’ve seen from Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and A16 Bionic smartphones.

However, Samsung said that the chip’s GPU will be able to perform better than competitors in North America, such as Qualcomm and Apple. We won’t be able to verify such claims, though, till a gadget with an Exynos 2400 chipset is made available for purchase.

As an alternative, the Galaxy S24 Ultra may utilize a Snapdragon chip everywhere, while the S24 and S24 Plus base models use different chips depending on where you purchase the phone.

Leaked benchmark testing for the Galaxy S24 Ultra shows that it’s catching up to the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s Apple A17 Pro processor when compared to its competitors. To equal the GeekBench results of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, there is still space for improvement.

A potential RAM increase for the Galaxy S24 Ultra is suggested by another report. The Galaxy S24 Ultra might have up to 16GB of RAM, according to leaker Tauran Vats on Twitter. This would be a significant improvement over the 8GB or 12GB RAM choices on the S23 Ultra. 

Other reports, meanwhile, claim that 256GB of storage might be standard on all Galaxy S24 variants. While the S23 Ultra currently has a 256GB default storage, this won’t be an upgrade for the S24 Ultra, it’s encouraging to know that we won’t be regressing next year.

The iPhone 15 Pro may eventually lose against the Galaxy S24 Ultra in terms of graphical performance. The Adreno GPU of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is expected to provide 25% more performance than that of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which was by no means a graphics slacker.

Samsung S24 Ultra Battery rumors

According to one theory, Samsung may upgrade the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s cooling mechanism in addition to adding a new stacked battery. The theory behind this is that a battery that is stacked is considerably denser and can hold more power in a given volume. One research suggests that there may be a 10% improvement in this specific case.

The maximum charging speed of the S24 Ultra is expected to reach 65W thanks to this revolutionary battery architecture, which is approximately 50% quicker than the 45W charging of the Galaxy S23 Ultra. However, it has recently been reported that Samsung has no plans to improve charging for the Galaxy S24 series.

Conclusion

The Galaxy S24 Ultra, a flagship phone from Samsung that is said to offer remarkable performance, battery life, and photographic skills, is about to be released. The gadget is anticipated to make its public debut in February 2024, following the release of the Galaxy A54, Z Fold 5, and Z Flip 5. The precise release date is yet unknown, but mid-to-late January is when it’s anticipated to be on sale.
