Samsung has just launched the Samsung Galaxy S24 Series in an event streamed “live” from the USA today. I was fortunate enough to get a preview on the new products during a media-only preview event in Singapore last week.
Here is my take on these products based on my limited preview time with them.
But before that, check out this video that I have made during the preview. You can see the difference between the video quality of the S24 Ultra and S23 Ultra.
As per Galaxy S23 Series, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Series has 3 models. They are the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy S24+ and the Galaxy S24.
Only Galaxy S24 Ultra has the built-in stylus. The Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 are very similar except in sizes. Check out the picture below.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Series First Look
This is the Galaxy S24 Ultra. It has the same configuration as Galaxy S23 Ultra. Based on the limited information on the specs, we know that it has a better camera, and the body is made of Titanium. And for this time, Samsung has made the screen less curvy.
PS: Please ignore those lines in the pictures. Not sure how it happened.
On the top, it has two microphones.
On the bottom, it has the USB-C port, SIM card slot, speaker, microphone, and the stylus.
On this side, it has the rocker volume button and the Power on/off switch.
On this side, there is no buttons.
It comes in different colors. I like the light blue one.
For the Galaxy S24 and the Galaxy S24+, they are very similar. I shall show you one of them for your reference.
They have the 3 cameras on the back.
Here is a close up.
Here is the front screen.
As you can see, it has very rounded corners.
On the bottom, it has very similar configurations as the Galaxy S24 Ultra. It has the USB-C port, the SIM card slot, microphone, and the speaker.
On the top, it has 2 microphones.
And on this side, it has the rocker volume button and the Power on/off button.
And here is the image captured during the walk at the Future World Exhibition at the ArtScience Museum using the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra with the Night Shot mode turned on.
