AI is likely to be the buzzword at the Samsung Unpacked 2024 (Image credit: Samsung)Samsung’s first Unpacked event of 2024 is just a day away, where the South Korean tech giant will unveil the highly anticipated Galaxy S24 series of smartphones, supercharged by Galaxy AI. The Samsung Unpacked 2024 event in the USA is also expected to feature the launch of the Galaxy Fit3, an affordable fitness tracker and next-generation Galaxy Buds.
The Galaxy Unpacked 2024 event will take place at SAP Center in San Jose, California, at 1 PM EST in the US and at 11:30 PM IST in India. The event will be live-streamed on the company’s official YouTube channel and on prominent platforms like Facebook and X (previously Twitter).
Users can also witness the Galaxy S24 series launch event from Samsung’s official website, where they can register for the Galaxy Unpacked event and have a chance to win a Rs 5,000 voucher, which can be used to purchase various Samsung products. Additionally, users can pre-reserve the Galaxy S24 series of smartphones by paying Rs 1,999.
The Galaxy S24 series, like the Galaxy S23 series, will consist of three models: Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and the Galaxy S24 Ultra. According to several reports, the Galaxy S24 might not offer much of an upgrade over the S23, except for the processor and performance. The Galaxy S24+ might deliver a significant upgrade over its predecessor with a large 2K resolution screen and a bigger battery. Both variants are likely to be based on the Exynos 2400, at least in India.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra will be the first smartphone from Samsung to feature a titanium frame, similar to the iPhone 15 Pro series. Samsung is also moving away from the curved display, making the Galaxy S24 Ultra the first “Ultra” branded Samsung smartphone with a flat-screen, similar to the one on the Galaxy S24+.
