Samsung Galaxy S24 Buying Guide: Specs, Prices, And Where You Can Nab Yours

Earlier today, South Korean consumer electronics giant Samsung officially took the wraps off their latest Galaxy S24 range of flagship smartphones during this year’s annual Samsung Unpacked convention.

Held in in San Jose, California earlier today, the Samsung Galaxy S24 range is set to replace the preceding S23 lineup that debuted in early February last year. Just like the generation that came before it, the new lineup consists of three devices, namely the base Galaxy S24, the larger Galaxy S24 Plus, and of course, the uber flagship Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Across the board, all three devices share the same platform and are powered by a Qualcomm SM8650-AB Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset or Saumsung’s in-house Exynos 2400 (4 nm) chipset, running Android 14 out of the box. With that said, varying price points mean that each device comes with slight tweaks on the S24 recipe for different consumer segments, such as a bump in screen size on the S24 Plus, or improved camera specifications on the S24 Ultra.
