Overview

The Samsung Galaxy S24 lineup represents a collection of premium Android smartphones engineered, produced, and promoted by Samsung Electronics as part of their flagship Galaxy S series. This range succeeds the Galaxy S23 generation.[1][2] The initial announcement took place on January 17, 2024, during the Galaxy Unpacked event held in San Jose, California.[3][4] Subsequently, the Fan Edition variant was introduced at a separate Galaxy Unpacked presentation on September 26, 2024.[5]

The trio of main models became available in markets across the United States and Europe on January 31, 2024. Meanwhile, the Fan Edition was launched worldwide on October 3, 2024. This series was succeeded by the Galaxy S25 series, which debuted on January 22, 2025.[6]

The Galaxy S24 lineup consists of four models, maintaining the same device range and screen dimensions as the preceding Galaxy S23 series. The flagship Galaxy S24 comes with a flat 6.2-inch (155 mm) display. The Galaxy S24+ offers comparable specifications but in a larger 6.7-inch (168 mm) size. The Galaxy S24 Ultra features a flat 6.8-inch (173 mm) screen with sharp edges, setting it apart from the base model. In regions including the U.S., Canada, China, Macau, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan, the S24 and S24+ are equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset; elsewhere worldwide, they utilize the Exynos 2400 processor. Meanwhile, the S24 Ultra employs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 across all markets.[7][8] The Galaxy S24 FE is powered exclusively by an underclocked variant of the Exynos 2400 known as the Exynos 2400e in all regions, including North America.[9]

S24 and S24+

The Galaxy S24 and S24+ models are constructed with aluminum frames and matte glass backs, offered in four primary colors: Amber Yellow, Marble Gray, Cobalt Violet, and Onyx Black. Additionally, three exclusive hues—Jade Green, Sapphire Blue, and Sandstone Orange—are available solely through Samsung’s online store. The Galaxy S24 Ultra is presented in titanium finishes corresponding to these shades.[10] The Galaxy S24 FE is offered in a limited palette of five colors: Blue, Graphite, Gray, Mint, and Yellow.

Display

The Galaxy S24 and S24+ feature a "Dynamic AMOLED 2X" panel that supports HDR10+, delivers a peak brightness of 2600 nits, incorporates an LTPO backplane, and utilizes "dynamic tone mapping" technology. Their screens are protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2. In contrast, the Galaxy S24 FE offers a peak brightness of 1900 nits and employs an LTPS backplane. While all models are equipped with an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, the S24 FE instead uses an optical in-display fingerprint reader. The S24 lineup supports a variable refresh rate ranging from 1 Hz or 24 Hz up to 120 Hz,[11] except for the S24 FE, which operates between 60 Hz and 120 HzTemplate:Fix/category[citation needed].

The Galaxy S24 Ultra builds upon the S24+ by incorporating Corning Gorilla Glass Armor glass on its display. However, it forgoes the curved edges characteristic of the Galaxy S23 Ultra and Galaxy S22 Ultra models.[12][13]

Regarding wireless connectivity options, the Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 FE provide support for SA/NSA/Sub6 5G networks along with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth version 5.3. The Galaxy S24 Ultra extends these capabilities by including Wi-Fi 7 support and ultra-wideband (UWB) technology. In the United States market specifically, all models offer exclusive compatibility with mmWave 5G.

Memory and Storage

The Galaxy S24 lineup features LPDDR5X RAM operating at speeds of 4,800 MT/s combined with Universal Flash Storage (UFS). Devices with storage capacities of 128 GB utilize UFS version 3.1 while those with capacities of 256 GB or higher employ UFS version 4.0.

Software

The Galaxy S24 series is equipped with Android 14 as the preloaded operating system, representing the most recent Android release at the time these devices launched. This version enhances font scaling capabilities, allowing text size to be increased up to 200%, an improvement over the previous 130%, while employing nonlinear scaling to avoid excessively large text elements on the display. Additionally, Android 14 introduces functionality enabling a smartphone to serve as a webcam for Samsung tablets.Template:Fix/category[citation needed]

Alongside Android 14, the Galaxy S24 smartphones feature the One UI 6.1 interface layer. This iteration of One UI incorporates advanced AI functionalities branded as "Galaxy AI," which leverage a blend of on-device and cloud-based AI models. In mainland China, Baidu supplies the cloud-based Ernie model,[15] whereas Google provides the Gemini Pro model for international regions including Hong Kong and Taiwan.[16] Consistent with earlier One UI versions, One UI 6.1 supports features such as split-screen multitasking, a customizable home screen, and enhanced battery optimization.

Samsung has committed to delivering seven years of security updates and operating system upgrades for these devices.[17]

All models integrate Google's on-device Gemini Nano, technology already implemented in Samsung’s own Pixel 8 Pro[18] and Pixel 9 devices.

Beginning with the Galaxy S24 lineup, Samsung has discontinued support for 32-bit applications on all forthcoming Galaxy smartphones and tablets. However, devices released before the S24 series will maintain compatibility with 32-bit apps.[19]

Given the Galaxy S24’s eligibility for seven years of OS updates, it is anticipated that this series will receive at least three additional major Android version upgrades beyond Android 18.[17]

Update cycle

Starting in April 2025, Samsung initiated the deployment of the One UI 7 upgrade for the Galaxy S24 lineup as well as the Galaxy Z6 models. This update delivers a comprehensive overhaul of the One UI interface, adapted from the Galaxy S25 series. Key elements such as icons, widgets, the camera application, and lock screen have been refreshed; additionally, the quick panel is now divided by default into two separate sections—the notification panel and the control panel—although users can revert to the previous single-panel design if preferred. On US Galaxy devices, Samsung Messages has been replaced by Google's messaging app to support RCS, yet Samsung Messages remains available for optional download via the Galaxy Store. In this version, DeX for PC and downloadable edge panels have been discontinued in favor of Link to Windows and third-party solutions. This release also introduces new ringtones and notification tones, marking their first update since the Galaxy S10 series debut.

S Pen odor concerns

A number of users reported an unpleasant odor emanating from the Galaxy S24 Ultra's S Pen, describing it as resembling "burnt plastic." A representative on Samsung's EU forums explained that this scent is a normal aspect of the pen’s functioning and does not indicate any issue.

The odor is believed to result from chemical interactions involving the pen's plastic casing triggered by heat generated inside the device.
