Samsung Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus

It’s that time of year again when Samsung fans face a tough choice. The latest Samsung Galaxy S23 flagships are a tempting pick for the holidays, but hold on a sec! 🛑 We can pretty much bank on the fact that a newer and better Galaxy S24 lineup is just around the corner. So, should you go all-in and grab the Galaxy S23 or hold out for the shiny new Galaxy S24? Let’s dive into the details and help you make an informed decision.

What We Know wink about the Galaxy S24 Series

Unsurprisingly, Samsung is expected to release the Galaxy S24 series in the same three configurations: a standard Galaxy S24 and a larger Galaxy S24 Plus that share most of the same specs, and the premium flagship Galaxy S24 Ultra that boasts an S Pen and the best cameras in its class. However, all three models are expected to have (mostly) the same processor and software specs and sport similar designs.

Currently, the Galaxy S23 family already boasts some of the most powerful smartphones on the planet. Thanks to a bespoke Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip, these devices have unmatched performance. But hold your horses! 🐎 The Galaxy S24 models are expected to step it up with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, providing even more power.

Rumor has it that Samsung has another trick up its sleeve with the Galaxy S24 lineup. It’s called Samsung Gauss, and it’s a generative AI feature that could provide exciting new capabilities like real-time translation, AI-generated wallpapers, and AI-powered formatting features in Samsung Notes. 🧠 Imagine an AI-powered assistant that gives you superpowers! However, we’re not sure if Samsung Gauss will rely on the new AI enhancements in Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or how well it will perform on Exynos-equipped handsets. 🤷‍♂️

And of course, let’s not forget about the software. The Galaxy S24 series will come preinstalled with Android 14 and Samsung’s next-gen One UI 6 (or 6.1) on top. That’s the latest and greatest, folks! 📲

Samsung Galaxy S23 vs. Galaxy S24: What’s the Difference?

The Galaxy S24 will likely be the least exciting upgrade, with no significant changes beyond the new processor and some battery tweaks. The display will grow slightly to 6.2 inches, and the battery capacity might increase to 4,000mAh. Although these changes may seem small, they can still make a difference in everyday use.

But wait, there’s more! 🎁 The Galaxy S24 Plus is rumored to receive a slightly larger and much higher-resolution display. It’s expected to feature a 6.7-inch WQHD panel, giving it an even higher pixel density than the Galaxy S24 Ultra. So, if you’re a display fanatic, you might want to wait for the Plus model.

Now, let’s talk about the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the crown jewel of Samsung’s lineup. 😍 While it won’t look that different from its predecessor, some reports suggest that it may feature a titanium frame, reducing the weight significantly. That means you’ll have a premium-feeling phone that won’t weigh you down. Additionally, it might have a brighter display with a peak brightness of 2,500 nits, which is great for outdoor visibility.

The camera system on the Galaxy S24 Ultra is also expected to receive some upgrades, with a possible change in the telephoto lens configuration and even higher default photo resolution. These improvements will solidify Samsung’s position as a leader in smartphone photography.

When Can You Get Your Hands on the Samsung Galaxy S24?

Samsung typically announces its Galaxy S series lineup in late January or early February, and we don’t expect next year to be an exception.

As for the Samsung Galaxy S24 release date, reports suggest that the Galaxy Unpacked event could be held on January 17, 2024, with the new models hitting the stores by the end of January. So start saving your pennies and get ready for the new wave of Samsung goodness!
