The Samsung Galaxy S24 is a series of high-end Android-based smartphones developed, manufactured, and marketed by Samsung Electronics as part of its flagship Galaxy S series. They collectively serve as the successor to the Galaxy S23 series.[6][7] The phones were announced on January 17, 2024, at the Galaxy Unpacked event in San Jose, California,[8][9] while the Galaxy S24 FE was unveiled at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event on September 26, 2024.[10] The first three phones were released in the United States and Europe on January 31, 2024, while the FE model was released globally on October 3, 2024.

They were succeeded by the Galaxy S25 series announced on January 22, 2025.[11]

Lineup

Left to right: Samsung Galaxy S24, S24 Ultra, S24+

The Galaxy S24 series includes four devices, which share the same lineup and screen sizes as the previous Galaxy S23 series. The flagship Galaxy S24 features a flat 6.2-inch (155 mm) display. The Galaxy S24+ features similar hardware in a 6.7-inch (168 mm) form factor. The Galaxy S24 Ultra features a flat 6.8-inch (173 mm) display, with sharp edges, distinct from its base model counterpart.

The S24 and S24+ phones are powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in North America and in East Asia (China, Macau, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan), while a Exynos 2400 is used in the rest of the world. The S24 Ultra is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in every market.[12][13] In contrast, the S24 FE comes with an underclocked variant of the Exynos 2400 called the Exynos 2400e in every market including North America.[14] A re-released version of the smaller S24 with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor was released exclusively in India on September 2025 (previously, the same device sold in India in January 2024 have the Exynos 2400 chipset).[15]

Design

The Galaxy S24 and S24+ have aluminum and matte glass versions and are available in four standard colors: Amber Yellow, Marble Gray, Cobalt Violet, and Onyx Black, with three additional colors available only through Samsung's website: Jade Green, Sapphire Blue and Sandstone Orange. The S24 Ultra features titanium versions of these colors.[16] The Galaxy S24 FE has a limited set of 5 colors called Blue, Graphite, Gray, Mint, and Yellow.

Specifications

Display

The Galaxy S24 and S24+ use a "Dynamic AMOLED 2X" display with HDR10+ support, 2600 nits of peak brightness, LTPO backplane, "dynamic tone mapping" technology, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2.[17] The Galaxy S24 FE has 1900 nits of peak brightness and LTPS backplane. All models use an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, except the S24 FE which uses an optical in-screen fingerprint sensor. The S24 series uses a variable refresh rate display with a range of 1 Hz or 24 Hz to 120 Hz,[18] except the S24 FE which has a range of 60 Hz to 120 Hz .

The Galaxy S24 Ultra, in addition to the features of the S24+, uses Corning Gorilla Glass Armor glass on its display, but it drops the curved edges seen in the Galaxy S23 Ultra & Galaxy S22 Ultra.[19][20]

Software

The Galaxy S24 phones come with the Android 14 operating system pre-installed, which was the latest version of Android available at the time of its release. It provides the ability to increase the font size up to 200% compared to 130% in previous versions, combined with nonlinear font scaling to prevent large text elements on screen from scaling too large.[24] It also allows a phone to be configured as a webcam for a Samsung tablet. In addition to Android 14, the Galaxy S24 phones also come with One UI 6.1 skin. This version of One UI, alongside newer versions of the user interface, mainly includes new AI-based features that are marketed as "Galaxy AI" and rely on a combination of local models and cloud-based models. In mainland China, the cloud partner is Baidu providing its Ernie model,[25] while in international markets (including Hong Kong and Taiwan), the cloud partner is Google providing its Gemini Pro model.[26] Like the previous releases of One UI, One UI 6.1 includes features such as split-screen multitasking, a customizable home screen, and improved battery life management.

The Galaxy S24 series are the first Samsung devices alongside the Galaxy Z6 series, Galaxy Tab S10 and Galaxy Tab A11 series in which it will get up to 7 years of OS and security updates, making Samsung the second manufacturer to offer 7 years of support (the first to do so was Google with the release of the Pixel 8 lineup[27]).[28][29]

All phones use Google's on-device Gemini Nano, already used by their own Pixel 8 Pro[30] and their Pixel 9 series.

Starting with the Galaxy S24, 32-bit ARMv7 applications are no longer supported due to restrictions in the SoC. Other Galaxy devices (except watches) from 2024 onwards will also not support 32-bit ARMv7 apps.[31]

Lifecycle period

In April 2025, Samsung began rolling out the One UI 7 (Android 15) update to the Galaxy S24 series along with the Galaxy Z6 series. The update features a complete revamp of the One UI experience, which was backported from the Galaxy S25 series. The icons, widgets, camera app, and lock screen have all been redesigned; the quick panel has been separated into two by default (the notification panel and the control panel), though it can be reverted into the old layout.[32] DeX for PC and downloadable edge panels are deprecated in this release in favor for Link to Windows and third-party alternatives. New system sounds are added for the first time since the release of One UI 1.1.[33]

Later that year, in September 2025, Samsung began rolling out the One UI 8 (Android 16) update to the Galaxy S24 devices, which marks the second of the 7 OS upgrades for the series and added several Galaxy AI enhancements.[34][35] Gemini Live was introduced, enabling real-time multimodal conversations through screen sharing and image uploads, which had not been available in One UI 7.

Reception

S Pen burnt smell

Some users noted the unpleasant smell of the Galaxy S24 Ultra's S Pen, likened to "burnt plastic". A moderator on Samsung's EU forums said the smell was a normal part of the pen's operation, and "isn't anything to be concerned about".[36][37]

This smell is likely from chemical reactions to the plastic shell of the S Pen, induced by the internal heat of the phone.[38]
