The Samsung Galaxy S24 series has just been released at an event on January 17, 2024. This series includes the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus, and the high-end Galaxy S24 Ultra. What’s exciting about these phones is that they use artificial intelligence (AI) in a big way, which makes them really advanced and user-friendly.
These new phones show Samsung’s focus on bringing customers the latest and best technology. They’re not just updated versions of older models; they’re a big step forward. The Galaxy S24 series, developed with help from companies like Qualcomm and Google, is designed to make things like taking photos and using the phone easier and more fun.
Samsung Galaxy S24 AI features revealed
The tech world is buzzing with excitement as the Samsung Galaxy S24 series is out. At the heart of this launch, during the Unpacked event on January 17, is a striking leap in artificial intelligence (AI). This series, featuring the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus, and the standout Galaxy S24 Ultra, packs more than just a punch with its processor upgrades.
The big news is the AI, which makes these phones really stand out. All three models are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, promising top-notch performance. While we haven’t tested them yet, expectations are high.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra has received special attention. It’s got a new look with flat edges instead of curved ones and a body made of titanium instead of aluminum. In terms of size, the Galaxy S24 is slightly bigger at 6.2 inches, and the Plus model is 6.7 inches. The Ultra remains the same at 6.8 inches.
But here’s the kicker: The Galaxy S24 Ultra’s zoom camera. The switch from a 10x to a 5x optical zoom lens might seem like a step back. However, Samsung assures that this is in tune with how most users engage with the zoom feature. Plus, the AI-enhanced zoom promises to be a game-changer in photography.
Samsung’s collaboration with Google brings “Galaxy AI” into the limelight. From smart photo editing to the innovative “Circle to Search” function, the AI integration is nothing short of impressive. Features like AI-assisted typing and the “Live Translate” function are set to redefine user interaction. And for the note-takers, the Galaxy S24 Ultra with the S Pen offers AI-powered note summarization and digital formatting.
