All the Samsung Galaxy S24, Plus, and Ultra leaks

This is the time of year when Samsung unwillingly has major details of its flagship Galaxy S line of phones leaked out months before they launch. So it will come as no surprise that we’ve now got details on the S24 and S24 Ultra — or at least the phones we assume will carry that name.

Today, Windows Report got a hold of new official Samsung images that include the Galaxy S24 Ultra with a new flattened screen design. It confirms an earlier leak by Twitter / X user David Martin, who posted handheld images of the purported new S24 Ultra. The images clearly showed sharper screen edges akin to the changes made with the regular S23 from earlier this year, instead of the gentle curve, and a new gray color finish.

As reported last month, Samsung is expected to release new on-device generative AI software on its upcoming phones that use the company’s Gauss model. Today’s leaks claim the S24 devices will use the tech to translate messaging apps in real time and in over a dozen languages. In October, Samsung also demonstrated a new AI-powered “Zoom Anyplace” camera framing feature powered by a Qualcomm AI engine — expected for release on a future device.

Also today, Android Authority found that the FCC recently published major processor and modem specification details for the S24 line. While the commission did not explicitly state the chip, the information shows that the S24, S24 Plus, and S24 Ultra all have Qualcomm modems with Smart Transit functionality. The combination suggests every S24 model, at least in the US, will be equipped with the new on-device AI-capable Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chips. However, there’s still a possibility international versions of the standard S24 could end up with Samsung’s own Exynos processors and modems like in previous years.

Along with the flatter screen and faster processor, the S24 Ultra is also getting a titanium frame, an upgraded 50MP 5x telephoto camera, better vapor chamber cooling, and Wi-Fi 7 (which you probably don’t need). The rest of the leaked specs by Windows Report show the new phone is not too different from the previous S23 Ultra model. It looks like the S24 Ultra will still have a 6.8-inch Quad-HD screen, 120Hz refresh rate, similar storage options, 12GB of RAM, and a 5,000mAh battery.

Meanwhile, the standard Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus model designs are looking similar to their S23 counterparts as previously confirmed in a September leak. But they do get new color finishes in onyx black, marble gray, cobalt violet, and amber yellow. Notably, the new Ultra also has color options this time around that match the regular S24 phones. The previous details correlate with the new leaks that point to a larger 6.7-inch Quad-HD screen, bigger 4,900mAh battery, and more RAM at 12GB for the S24 Plus. The regular S24, however, will get very small bumps in screen size at 6.2 inches and battery at 4,000mAh.

Samsung has not officially announced a successor to its Galaxy S23 smartphone line that was released earlier this year. As for the leaks themselves (and if history holds true), we should expect to see these phones announced early next year at a Samsung Unpacked event.
