Samsung Galaxy S24 Now Has A US Launch Date: Specs And Everything Else You Need To Know

In an unexpected move, Samsung Electronics Co Ltd. (OTCPK: SSNLF) is believed to be planning an early launch for its much-anticipated Galaxy S24 series, possibly slated for Jan. 17 in the US as it looks to take on Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone 15 series.

What Happened: Samsung is likely to launch its flagship Galaxy S24 series at an ‘Unpacked' event in San Francisco on Jan. 17, according to a report by Korean business publication SBS Biz.

This aligns with earlier predictions from tipster Ice Universe, who suggested a Jan. 18 launch date, making the third week of January a likely window for the event.

Supporting these leaks, additional reports imply that Samsung’s manufacturing partners are preparing to begin mass production of the Galaxy S24 series a month ahead of the usual schedule.

Samsung usually launches the flagship Galaxy S-series phones in the first week of February, but this around, it is said to be moving up the launch to take on the iPhone 15 series.

The reports further indicate that Samsung plans to return to the US in 2024 to launch its new Galaxy Z Fold and Flip phones, marking a comeback of two ‘Unpacked’ events in the US.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Features: What We Know

The Samsung Galaxy S24 series' major highlight so far is that it will be powered by Qualcomm Inc.'s (NASDAQ:QCOM) latest flagship chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. It is expected to use a custom ‘for Galaxy' version of the chipset with higher clock speeds and top-tier chipset bins.

Samsung usually uses the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset in its flagship phones, so this is on expected lines.

Apart from this, the Galaxy S24 series is also expected to feature ChatGPT-like generative AI features.

A previous report also suggested that Samsung might be borrowing a key feature from Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro – the use of titanium frames – in its upcoming Galaxy S24 models.

Earlier in September, the first leak of the Galaxy S24 showed an iPhone-inspired design, further fueling the anticipation for the new device.
