With the end of 2023 in sight, so too will the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S24 series, as these phones will likely hit the market in early 2024, and we now have a much clearer idea of what to expect from them thanks to a few new leaks.
The biggest of these come from @OnLeaks, who shared unofficial renders and some specs of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra with @SmartPrix. However, you’d be forgiven for thinking you were looking at the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra as this phone looks almost identical.
You’ll see a quad-lens camera with the same layout as its predecessor, a similar angular shape to the phone, an S Pen slot and a screen that’s apparently 6.8 inches again. Also in terms of specs, this leak points to a 5,000mAh battery with 45W charging, just like last year.
That said, there are some differences, with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra reportedly having thinner bezels. In fact, this leak claims they are “one of the narrowest bezels you’ll see on any smartphone.”
Dimensions and weight may also differ slightly, with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra reportedly weighing 162.3 x 79 x 8.7mm and 233g. The S23 Ultra for comparison is 163.4 x 78.1 x 8.9mm and 234g.
So that would make the Galaxy S24 Ultra negligibly shorter, wider, slimmer and lighter than the S23 Ultra, with the 1 gram weight apparently due to the Galaxy S24 Ultra having titanium sides, something we’ve heard before, and would it have something in common with the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
@OnLeaks also shared some details and unofficial images of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus, this time in collaboration with GizNext. And these are very similar to the Samsung Galaxy S24 renders that @OnLeaks recently shared.
They show a phone with a similar look to the Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus, but with a slightly offset camera flash and flatter sides.
It apparently has a 6.7-inch screen, which would be slightly larger than its 6.6-inch predecessor, and dimensions of 158.5 x 75.9 x 7.75mm, which would make it slightly larger and thicker, but less wide than the 157.8 x 76.2 x 7.6 mm Galaxy S23Plus.
Finally, we have some leaked specifications and dimensions of the leak @UniverseelIjsthe latter being largely in line with the above, albeit with some differences of 0.1mm in places.

However, they point to a larger 4,900mAh battery in the Galaxy S24 Plus than the 4,700mAh in the S23 Plus, and also include some specs and dimensions for the base Samsung Galaxy S24, which itself is apparently set for a 100mAh larger battery than its predecessor, at 4,000 mAh.
Perhaps most interesting is that all three phones apparently have a maximum screen brightness of 2,500 nits, which is extremely high and even better than the 2,000 nits of the iPhone 15 line.
We take all this with a grain of salt, but the sources involved are reliable. If this is true, the Samsung Galaxy S24 series might not be a huge change from the Galaxy S23 line, but with bigger batteries, brighter screens and refined designs, they could still be among the best phones.
