Today, Samsung Electronics revealed the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24, bringing new mobile experiences with Galaxy AI. The Galaxy S series leads into a new era that changes how mobile devices empower users. AI enhances every experience on the Galaxy S24 series, from enabling barrier-free communication with intelligent text and call translations to maximizing creative freedom with Galaxy’s ProVisual Engine. It sets a new standard for search, altering how Galaxy users discover the world.
TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics, stated, “The Galaxy S24 series transforms the connection with the world and ignites the next decade of mobile innovation. Galaxy AI is built on our innovation heritage and a deep understanding of how people use their phones. We’re excited to see how users around the world empower their everyday lives with Galaxy AI, opening up new possibilities.”
Galaxy AI introduces meaningful intelligence to enhance every part of life, especially communication. Galaxy S24 makes defying language barriers easier than ever. Live Translate allows two-way, real-time voice and text translations of phone calls within the native app, without the need for third-party apps. Interpreter translates live conversations on a split-screen view, allowing people standing opposite each other to read a text transcription. It works without cellular data or Wi-Fi.
For messages and other apps, Chat Assist helps perfect conversational tones, ensuring communication sounds as intended. AI in Samsung Keyboard translates messages in real-time in 13 languages. In the car, Android Auto summarizes incoming messages and suggests relevant replies and actions via voice commands, keeping users connected while focused on the road.
Organization gets a boost with Note Assist in Samsung Notes, featuring AI-generated summaries, streamlined note templates, and cover creation for easy spotting. For voice recordings with multiple speakers, Transcript Assist uses AI and Speech-to-Text technology to transcribe, summarize, and even translate recordings.
The Galaxy S24 series doesn’t just advance communication benefits; it also transforms online search and revolutionizes image capturing with its ProVisual Engine.
In a breakthrough for search, the Galaxy S24 introduces Circle to Search, a gesture-driven feature in collaboration with Google. Users can perform a long press on the home button, allowing them to circle, highlight, scribble, or tap on the screen to receive helpful search results without leaving the app. This innovative approach makes discovering information, prompted by things like a friend’s social media post or a YouTube Shorts fun fact, quick and seamless.
The ProVisual Engine in the Galaxy S24 series includes AI-powered tools that elevate image capturing capabilities. The Galaxy S24 Ultra’s Quad Tele System, with a new 5x optical zoom lens, provides optical-quality performance at various zoom levels. The Adaptive Pixel Sensor enables clear results at 100x digital zoom. Nightography capabilities are enhanced for brilliant photos and videos in any condition. The larger pixel size and improved stabilizers reduce blur, and Dedicated ISP Block and gyro information analysis ensure clear videos in low light.
After capturing shots, Galaxy AI editing tools offer features like erase, re-compose, and remaster. Edit Suggestion provides suitable tweaks for each photo, while Generative Edit allows users to adjust image backgrounds with AI assistance. Super HDR previews lifelike images before capture, and third-party social apps now integrate Galaxy’s camera features for enhanced sharing experiences.
The Galaxy S24 series brings a new level of creativity and control to users, making every stage of image capture and sharing a stunning experience.
Galaxy S24 offers its most intelligent experience ever, focusing on premium performance to meet the demands of various tasks, from gaming to video recording and app multitasking. The improvements in its chipset, display, and more contribute to an exceptional user experience.
All Galaxy S24 Ultra models come equipped with the Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform for Galaxy, optimized for efficient AI processing. The chipset brings notable NPU improvement, enhancing overall performance. Adaptive refresh rates ranging from 1 to 120 Hz further improve efficiency across all three Galaxy S24 models.
Galaxy gaming sees significant enhancements with hardware and software improvements. The Galaxy S24 Ultra features an optimal thermal control system, including a vapor chamber 1.9 times larger than before. This not only improves device surface temperature but also maximizes sustained performance power. Ray tracing technology contributes to lifelike visuals with superior shadow and reflection effects. Collaborations with leading gaming partners ensure users enjoy optimized experiences with popular global mobile games.
The display on the Galaxy S24 series reaches a peak brightness of 2,600 nits, providing vibrant and captivating visuals. The Vision Booster enhances outdoor visibility. The Galaxy S24 Ultra’s display incorporates Corning® Gorilla® Armor, offering superior durability against everyday scratches and significantly reducing reflections in various lighting conditions for a comfortable viewing experience.
Design enhancements across the Galaxy S24 series include slimmer bezels, making it easier to immerse in any viewing experience. The Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 feature larger screen sizes within nearly the same size specifications, with 6.7-inch and 6.2-inch displays, respectively. The Galaxy S24 Ultra, with a 6.8-inch flatter display, is optimized for both viewing and productivity. Additionally, the Galaxy S24+ now supports the same QHD+ level found on the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Protected by Samsung Knox, Galaxy S24 ensures user trust and choice through advanced security and privacy features. This defense-grade, multi-layer security platform employs end-to-end secure hardware, real-time threat detection, and collaborative protection to safeguard critical information and counter vulnerabilities.
Samsung’s commitment to giving users control over their devices remains strong in the age of AI. Galaxy S24 users can dictate how much their data enhances AI experiences through Advanced Intelligence settings, allowing them to disable online data processing for AI features if desired.
The Knox Matrix envisions a secure, connected, and password-less future, and passkeys contribute to this vision. Passkeys provide secure and convenient access to users’ registered websites and apps across all trusted devices using digital credentials, offering protection against phishing attacks. Enhanced Data Protection ensures end-to-end encryption during data backup, sync, or restoration with Samsung Cloud. This allows Galaxy S24 users to connect to other devices securely, ensuring that data can only be encrypted or decrypted on the user’s devices, even in the event of server compromise or account theft. In case access to a trusted device is lost, a recovery code helps prevent data loss.
Galaxy S24 boasts an extensive list of innovative security and privacy features, including Knox Vault, Security & Privacy Dashboard, Auto Blocker, Secure Wi-Fi, Private Share, Maintenance Mode, and more, ensuring comprehensive protection for users’ data and privacy.
In the next phase of Samsung’s environmental journey, the focus is on reimagining how Galaxy technology is designed and packaged to be more sustainable for both people and the planet. The Galaxy S24 takes steps to scale the use of recycled materials, including plastics, glass, aluminum, cobalt, and rare earth elements in its internal and external components. In a groundbreaking move, the Galaxy S24 Ultra utilizes a minimum of 50% recycled cobalt in the battery and 100% recycled rare earth elements in the speakers.
The Galaxy S24 sets new standards by becoming the first in the Galaxy S series to incorporate recycled steel and Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) in its design. The Galaxy S24 Ultra features a minimum of 40% recycled steel in the speakers and a minimum of 10% pre-consumer recycled TPU in the side and volume keys. Furthermore, each Galaxy S24 is packaged in a box made from 100% recycled paper material.
Samsung’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond materials. The Galaxy S24 ensures an extended product lifecycle by offering seven generations of OS upgrades and seven years of security updates, allowing users to experience optimized performance for longer. The device is UL ECOLOGO® certified, and its carbon footprint has been measured and verified by The Carbon Trust.
The Galaxy S24 reflects Samsung’s progress in line with its environmental roadmap, with achievements already made by the end of 2022. The company is setting a new goal to incorporate at least one recycled material in every module of every mobile product by 2030, demonstrating its ongoing dedication to sustainability.
In the pursuit of precision technology and elegance in every detail, the Galaxy S24 Ultra stands out as the first-ever Galaxy phone to boast a titanium frame, enhancing both durability and longevity. The device’s thinner body not only contributes to its sleek appearance but also offers a more comfortable grip for on-the-go experiences. The Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 feature a streamlined One-mass design, creating a standard aesthetic with a seamless connection between the rear cover and side frame. The Earth mineral-inspired color tones add a touch of sophistication to the Galaxy S24 series.
