Regarding the variants, the Galaxy S24 series is speculated to include three models: the S24, the S24+, and the S24 Ultra. They will offer similar storage options to the S23 series but different processors, with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in markets like the US, Canada, and China, and Samsung's own Exynos 2400 chipset possibly in India. The series is also said to have similar designs, although the Ultra model may feature a flatter screen and a titanium body.
All models will sport a 120Hz display and a 50 mega-pixel main camera, while the Ultra is rumoured to boast a 200mega-pixel lens, a 10x quad telephoto, and 100x Space Zoom. It may also come with the S Pen.
Samsung is also reported offering 7 years of software and OS updates for the Galaxy S24 series. This implies that the smartphones could receive updates until Android 21. Since 2020, Samsung has been providing four years of OS upgrades and five years of security updates for its premium and some mid-range phones.
Samsung S24 series rumoured price
As for the pricing, rumours suggest that Samsung might be planning to increase the prices of its new flagship series by Rs 10,000. Which means, the base model of the Samsung Galaxy S24+ with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage could cost between Rs 1,04,999 and Rs 1,05,999. This is a significant jump of more than Rs 10,000 from the previous year’s Samsung Galaxy S23+, which was priced at Rs 94,999.
Similarly, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, the most expensive of the three models, could have a price of Rs 1,34,999 or Rs 1,35,999 for the same configuration. The S23 Ultra, in contrast, was sold for Rs 1,24,999.
However, these prices are not confirmed, and we should wait for a few more days until the official announcement.
