Samsung Galaxy S24 leaks point to design changes and more AI than the Pixel 8
The Samsung Galaxy S24 is slowly coming into view as its expected launch in early 2024 draws closer, and the latest news from the rumor mill suggests that the phone series will be packed with AI smarts – and will come with a design tweak to the Ultra model, too .
Sources spoken to SamMobile saying that Samsung will go “all in with artificial intelligence” on its upcoming flagship phones – and indeed that the company wants to make these handsets “the smartest AI phones ever”.
That clearly means that Samsung’s engineers have seen what Google has done with the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, and want to go even further. Certain features will closely match what tools like ChatGPT can already do, SamMobile says.
Even a quick read of our Google Pixel 8 review is enough to tell you how much AI is in there: AI technology can remove background noise in videos or help you create composite photos that show all your family members smiling at the same time.
All AI
We don’t get many details about what Samsung is planning, but there is mention of text-to-image generative AI (something you can do with Dall-E, for example) and an upgrade to the speech-to-text engine. offered on the phones.
And it looks like Samsung hasn’t given up on Bixby yet either. According to SamMobile, the digital assistant could be thrust back into the spotlight as the focus turns to AI, in a direct challenge to Google Assistant and Google Bard.

Our other Galaxy S24 leak today concerns the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Productive tipster @UniverseelIjs says the speaker on the bottom of the phone will be one long grille, rather than a series of holes – reminiscent of 2018’s Samsung Galaxy S9.
All will be revealed next year, with experts suggesting that January is the month in which the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus and Galaxy S24 Ultra break through – so slightly earlier in the year than their immediate predecessors.
