The first Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event of 2024 kicks off on Wednesday (January 17) – and it should be a good one. It’s there that we expect to see the unveiling of the much-rumoured and teased Samsung Galaxy S24 range, consisting of the standard phone, Galaxy S24 Plus and Galaxy S24 Ultra.
While Samsung has only hinted that it will show off the next generation of Galaxy phones, they will definitely be there. We’re also hoping for a few surprises, like the long-teased Galaxy Ring, but the rumors haven’t indicated that will be the case.
But even if the focus is just on phones, Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2024 will be a must-watch for fans of Android phones and those who might be looking for an alternative to the iPhone 15 series. So read on and we will tell you how you can watch Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2024 live.

What can you expect at Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2024?
In short, you can expect a trio of new Galaxy S series phones, which are rumored to be broadly similar to the Galaxy S23 series in terms of overall design so far.
However, as rumored, there will be some subtle external design differences, including a flat screen, titanium bezels, and replacing the 10x telephoto camera with a 50-megapixel camera with 5x zoom for the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Expect a decent range of Samsung Galaxy S24 colors and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra colors to catch your eye, but otherwise the biggest changes for the Galaxy S24 line from its predecessors will likely be on the software side.
And it will almost certainly all be about AI, with Samsung already teasing phone features that rely on artificial intelligence algorithms, and with even more rumors pointing to AI-powered photo editing, similar to Google Pixel 8’s Magic Editor. mentions for the phone include that the Galaxy S24 can detect tone in text, all part of Samsung’s goal to create an “AI phone.”
Based on the rumors, we would expect the prices of the Galaxy S24 to closely match those of the Galaxy S23 series. That means there are a trio of phones available that will run the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models, as well as some of the best Android phones.
Now we don’t expect to see the Galaxy Ring, which will be Samsung’s first smart ring. We don’t expect any updates for the company’s smartwatches either.
