Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event Let’s barely catch our breath today after last week’s CES. As we expected, the company has launched its latest flagship smartphones Galaxy S24, S24+ and S24 Ultra. To help you find the right words (and the right tone) for your messages, there’s Search, Live Translation and Chat Help – all of which you can read about here. our practical report on new handheld devices.
In terms of design and hardware, not much has changed since last year’s S23. The rear triple camera lineup remains the same with a 50MP primary, 12MP wide and 10MP telephoto lens. The 6.2-inch Full HD+ display is 1/10 inch larger, and the battery adds 100mAh to the size of the previous generation. The new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor is optimized for the new Galaxies – which should help them handle all those AI tricks. Here’s how the Samsung Galaxy S24 stacks up against its two closest rivals, the Apple iPhone 15 and the Google Pixel 8.
