The Samsung Galaxy S24 lineup represents Samsung Electronics' premium series of Android-powered smartphones within its flagship Galaxy S family line-up for the year2024. This collection succeeds the previous generation represented by the Galaxy S23 series.[1][2] The initial announcement took place during Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event held in San Jose, California on January17,2024,[3][4] whereas the Fan Edition variant was introduced later during a separate Unpacked event on September26,2024.[5]

The trio consisting of the standard S24 models was launched across United States and European markets on January31,2024, while the Fan Edition model became available worldwide starting October3,2024.The entire series was subsequently replaced by the Galaxy S25 lineup announced on January22,2025.[6]

The Galaxy S24 lineup consists of four models, maintaining the same screen dimensions and overall lineup structure as the preceding Galaxy S23 series. The core Galaxy S24 sports a flat 6.2-inch (155 mm) screen. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S24+ offers similar specifications but with a larger 6.7-inch (168 mm) display. The Galaxy S24 Ultra stands out with its flat 6.8-inch (173 mm) screen featuring sharper edges, differing from the base models. In terms of processors, the S24 and S24+ utilize the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset in regions including the U.S., Canada, China, Macau, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan; elsewhere, they run on the Exynos 2400 chip. The S24 Ultra is uniformly powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 across all markets.[7][8] Conversely, the S24 FE is equipped globally—including North America—with an underclocked version of the Exynos 2400, known as the Exynos 2400e.[9]

S24 and S24+

The Galaxy S24 and S24+ come with aluminum frames and matte glass backs and are 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.

Display

The Galaxy S24 and S24+ feature a "Dynamic AMOLED 2X" panel that supports HDR10+, delivers a peak brightness of 2600 nits, incorporates a 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 maximum brightness of 1900 nits and employs an LTPS backplane. While all versions are equipped with an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, the S24 FE instead uses an optical in-screen fingerprint sensor. The S24 lineup supports variable refresh rates 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 on the features found in the S24+, adding Corning Gorilla Glass Armor protection on its display. Unlike its predecessors—the Galaxy S23 Ultra and Galaxy S22 Ultra—the S24 Ultra abandons the curved screen edges in favor of a flat design.[12][13]

Charging speeds differ as well—the S24 and S24 FE support charging at up to 25 watts while the S24+ and S24 Ultra can charge at speeds reaching 45 watts.

Connectivity

Connectivity options for the Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 FE include support for 5G in SA/NSA/Sub6 modes alongside Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. The Galaxy S24 Ultra extends these capabilities by adding support for Wi-Fi 7 as well as ultra-wideband (UWB) technology. In the United States market specifically, all Galaxy S24 models provide exclusive support for mmWave 5G.

Memory and storage

All Galaxy S24 models utilize high-speed memory running at 4,800 MT/s with LPDDR5X, paired with Universal Flash Storage technology—UFS version 3.1 for devices with 128 GB storage and UFS version 4.0 for those with capacities of 256 GB or greater.

Software

The Galaxy S24 series is equipped with Android 14 out of the box, which represented the most recent Android iteration at launch. This version introduces the capability to enlarge font sizes up to 200%, an increase from the previous 130%, alongside nonlinear font scaling that prevents excessively large text elements on the display. Additionally, the system supports configuring the phone as a webcam for use with Samsung tablets.Template:Fix/category[citation needed]

Alongside Android 14, these devices feature the One UI 6.1 interface layer. This iteration of One UI, as well as subsequent versions, emphasizes enhanced AI functionalities branded as "Galaxy AI," which leverage a hybrid of local and cloud-based models. For users in mainland China, Baidu supplies the Ernie model for cloud AI services,[15] whereas international markets, including Hong Kong and Taiwan, utilize Google's Gemini Pro model.[16] Consistent with earlier One UI versions, One UI 6.1 offers features such as split-screen multitasking, a fully customizable home screen experience, and enhanced battery optimization.

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

All models incorporate Google's on-device Gemini Nano, which is also integrated into Samsung’s own Pixel 8 Pro[18] and the Pixel 9 lineup.

Beginning with the Galaxy S24 generation, Samsung has discontinued support for 32-bit applications across all future Galaxy smartphones and tablets; however, devices released before this generation will maintain compatibility with 32-bit apps.[19]

Given that the Galaxy S24 series qualifies for seven years of OS updates, it is expected to receive at least three additional major Android version upgrades beyond Android 18.[17]

Update lifecycle

Starting in April 2025, Samsung initiated the deployment of the One UI 7 update across the Galaxy S24 lineup as well as the Galaxy Z6 series. This update introduces an entirely refreshed One UI interface, adapted from the Galaxy S25 series. Key elements such as icons, widgets, the camera application, and lock screen have undergone redesigns. By default, the quick panel is now divided into two separate sections: the notification panel and the control panel, although users can switch back to the previous unified layout if preferred. On US Galaxy devices, Samsung Messages has been replaced by Google's messaging app to provide RCS functionality, but it remains accessible as an optional download via the Galaxy Store. The update discontinues support for DeX for PC and downloadable edge panels, favoring Link to Windows and third-party solutions instead. Additionally, this release introduces new ringtones and notification tones for the first time since the Galaxy S10 series debuted.

Odor from S Pen

Several users reported that the Galaxy S24 Ultra's S Pen emits an unpleasant odor described as similar to "burnt plastic." A representative on Samsung's EU forums explained that this scent is a normal byproduct of the pen's operation and does not indicate any cause for concern. The smell is believed to result from chemical reactions occurring in the plastic casing of the S Pen when exposed to internal heat generated by the device.
