Yesterday, we exclusively leaked official renders of the Samsung Galaxy S24 in all four colors it will be available in. Later, renders of the Galaxy S24 Ultra showed up in a leak. Now, we have renders of the Galaxy S24+ as well, baring the entire flagship lineup ahead of the rumored launch in January 2024.
Galaxy S24+ renders leaked ahead of launch
The Galaxy S24+ is essentially a bigger Galaxy S24. The two phones share the same design. We are talking about a flat front and back, as well as a flat frame with rounded corners. The power and volume buttons are on the right side. The display has symmetrical bezels while the rear camera array consists of three camera rings aligned vertically with no camera bump.
Samsung is readying the Galaxy S24 lineup in Onyx Black, Marble Gray, Cobalt Violet, and Amber Yellow colors. These are the four basic colors that will be available globally. The company is also expected to offer the devices in Blue, Green, and Orange colors, but exclusively through its official website. The latest leak only gives us renders of the Galaxy S24+ in the four basic colorways.
While the leak isn’t accompanied by additional details, there is hardly anything we don’t know about the Galaxy S24+ or its siblings. In fact, the Plus model shares a lot of specs with the vanilla model. The device will be available in two processor variants—Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the US and a few other markets and Exynos 2400 in the rest of the world, including Europe.
Samsung will offer the phone with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB/512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. The Galaxy S23+ came with 8GB of RAM, so this upgrade will please power users. Those preferring a more compact handset may not like the fact that the base Galaxy S24 variant still comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Worst yet, it may be UFS 3.1 storage rather than UFS 4.0.

Same cameras but the Plus model has a larger display and battery
The Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ will feature the same camera hardware. We don’t have a confirmation but rumors have hinted at an unchanged setup from the Galaxy S23. If true, we will get a 50MP primary camera, 10MP ultrawide lens, 10MP zoom camera with 3x optical zoom, and 12MP selfie camera. The Galaxy S24+ will offer 8K video recording at 30fps with stereo sound audio. We are also expecting new AI-powered camera features.
Since the Galaxy S24+ is bigger, it has a larger display. We are expecting a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a WQHD+ resolution (3120 x 1440 pixels) and a 48-120Hz variable refresh rate. The screen may boast a peak brightness of 2,500 or 2,600 nits. Samsung is rumored to upgrade the entire lineup to the M13 OLED material, which has better power efficiency, luminance, and color accuracy than the previous-gen M12 material.
The Galaxy S24+ also gets a bigger battery, a 4,900mAh unit. It supports 45W wired charging and 15W wireless charging, along with reverse wireless charging. Like the 2023 model, Samsung is only offering Wi-Fi 6E on the phone. Wi-Fi 7 is reserved for the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Thankfully, the entire lineup appears to be getting satellite connectivity. The phones also feature an ultrasonic under-display fingerprint scanner, Samsung DeX, Ultra Wideband (UWB), AKG-tuned stereo speakers, and IP68 dust and water resistance.
AI features will be the highlight of the Galaxy S24 series
Samsung’s 2024 flagships don’t bring many hardware upgrades over the Galaxy S23. However, the new phones will introduce plenty of new software tricks powered by artificial intelligence (AI). Along with AI enhancements in photo and video quality, the Galaxy S24 phones will use AI to protect battery health, organize and summarize notes, add or remove objects from photos and videos, and expand photos by adding non-existent details.
Additionally, leaks have revealed AI features for voice recorder, Bixby Text Call, wallpapers, lockscreen, audio calls, and more. All of these features will be part of Samsung’s Android 14-based One UI 6.1 software. The Galaxy S24 series may launch on January 17, 2024, with general sales beginning on January 30. The lineup is expected to cost the same as the Galaxy S23—starting at $799 for the base model, $999 for the Plus, and $1,199 for the Ultra.
