By this time tomorrow, we’ll know everything there is to know about the Galaxy S24 lineup, and many of us will have our pre-orders in. While Samsung hasn’t shared all of the details just yet, you can lock-in your pre-order and save yourself up to more than $1,000 on the latest and greatest Galaxy device. This includes a $50 instant credit and up to $970 when trading in your current (or old) phone.
The rumor mill began churning in regards to the Galaxy S24 series before the Galaxy S23 was even announced, back in December, 2022. Some leaks suggested that while the Galaxy S24 Ultra would be getting an improved telephoto sensor, Samsung was planning to use the same 200MP primary camera that eventually debuted with the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Another rumor hit the Galaxy S24 lineup ahead of the S23 launch, suggesting that “Samsung could drop the Plus model from the S24 series in 2024 due to consumers’ lack of interest in the phone.” This came on the heels of a report that claimed of the 31.5 million Galaxy S22 units sold, only 5.5 million of those were of the Plus model. This was also shortly after Apple unveiled the iPhone 14 lineup, which dropped the iPhone 13 Mini in favor of the iPhone 14 Plus.
Things were mostly quiet for a few months, with only a few random rumors cropping up here and there. However, that all started to change in July, as a Geekbench entry appeared for what appeared to be the Galaxy S24 Plus. This was the first of the upcoming Samsung devices to be leaked, appearing to confirm that it would be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which had yet to be officially announced. That same day, another rumor claimed that Samsung would be implementing its Exynos 2400 chip into the Galaxy S24 series in certain regions.
One complaint that you could make about both the Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus is that Samsung still opted for LTPS displays with these models, leaving the Galaxy S23 Ultra as the only option if you wanted an LTPO screen. However, another leak claimed that Samsung would be bringing its LTPO display to all three models for the Galaxy S24 series. Not is an LTPO display more power efficient, but it also allows for the 1-120Hz dynamic refresh range that we’ve become accustomed to with many of the best Android phones.
