Galaxy S24 series
Off the books, we’re certain to see the Galaxy S24 series of Android phones in their full glory. Currently, Samsung is expected to stick with a three-device push for its Galaxy S24 series: the standard package Galaxy S24, the slightly roomier S24+, and the top-of-the-line S24 Ultra.
Samsung Galaxy S24: Rumored price, models, features, and more
The Galaxy S24 will launch in early 2024, but that’s not all we know. Here are all the leaks and rumors about Samsung’s next flagship phones.

Gen AI
Some sort of generative AI assistant will also be at the show, but this might either be a refresh of the existing Bixby assistant or an entirely new software product.
What is Galaxy AI? Samsung’s generative AI plans explained
All the attention is on generative AI and the major brands that have yet to jump into the pool. Apple is one of them, but what about Samsung?
Is that it?
We may hear about a couple more devices at Samsung Unpacked.
Galaxy Ring
There’s also been some speculation about a fitness tracking ring — a Galaxy Ring of sorts — that might get a few minutes in the limelight and fit into its Galaxy Watch-driven line of wearable tech.
Galaxy Book 4 series
We may also see expanded rollout plans of the Galaxy Book 4 series, which was announced a couple weeks ago and will make it to Korea this month.
How to “reserve” a Galaxy S24
If you’re interested enough to get on board with a Galaxy S24, you can put in a no-obligation reservation by heading to Samsung.com or the Shop Samsung app.
Samsung Galaxy S24
The Galaxy S23 sold for $799.99, and up at launch, the S23+ was $999.99, and the S23 Ultra began at $1,199.99. We don’t expect much change for the new Galaxy S24.
You’ll be trading away a bit of your insanity, as this signs you up for an email list, but what you get for your sign-up is a $50 credit to purchase that next device from Samsung.
There are specific terms and conditions for the reservation offer that we had not been offered prior to this announcement, but you’ll be able to see them here.
What’s the competition for Galaxy S24?
It’s shaping up to be a busy Q1 in the mobile world, with OnePlus due to debut the flagship OnePlus 12 on Jan. 23. Speaking of Oneplus, the Carl Pei-led Nothing is also set to make a splash at Mobile World Congress in late February with what’s expected to be a mid-ranger in the Nothing Phone (2a). All told, there’s plenty of fresh competition to inspect if you’re looking to purchase a phone come the spring.
