The big Galaxy Unpacked launch event for the Galaxy S24, the Galaxy S24+ and the Galaxy S24 Ultra is official. In around two weeks, Samsung will present its next-generation flagship smartphones with an increased focus on AI features, as the announcement clearly indicates.

In a post on X (embedded below), Samsung Australia has announced the long-awaited Galaxy Unpacked launch event, which starts on Wednesday, January 17, at 10:00 am (Pacific Standard Time). The event will take place in San Jose, California, but will also be broadcast live on Samsung's website as usual.

The short teaser video hardly reveals any details about the event, but the tagline "Galaxy AI is coming" clearly suggests that the focus will not be on the hardware of the Galaxy S24 series, but rather on its AI features. But this doesn't mean innovations in terms of hardware, prices and preorder bonuses will be absent.

 

 


According to a recent leak, the Galaxy S24 series is expected to have the same pricing as the S23 series from last year, at least in the USA. The Galaxy S24 will start at $800, the S24+ at $1000, and the S24 Ultra at least at $1200. Another leak from Europe suggests that both base models of the Galaxy S24 (8GB/128GB) and Galaxy S24+ (12GB/256GB) will be 50€ cheaper in Europe than last year at 899€ and 1149€, respectively. Contrariwise, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is expected to be 50€ more expensive than the Galaxy S23 Ultra at 1449€.

The new AI features apparently include Live Translate for real-time language translation and an alternative to Googles Magic Editor. According to a leaked infographic, only the Galaxy S24 will be delivered with the Samsung Exynos 2400, while both the Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 Ultra will feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy globally. All three models feature 120 Hz, 2600 nits bright LTPO AMOLED panels, while the 200 MP main camera and the 50 MP telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom are reserved for the Galaxy S24 Ultra, as is the frame (made of titanium instead of aluminum).
