The anticipation now revolves around the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event, where we expect to uncover the remaining details about this highly anticipated device.
Samsung faces the challenge of surpassing the Galaxy S23 Ultra, which boasted top-tier performance, impressive battery life, and arguably the best cameras on any phone in the previous year. However, recent reports on the Galaxy S24 Ultra suggest that there is much to be excited about.
Rumors hint at the possibility of a more powerful chip, such as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and potential camera improvements, including a more powerful zoom lens. Samsung may also consider increasing the refresh rate of the 6.8-inch display and adopting a new battery approach to extend the phone’s overall battery life.
Drawing insights from early Galaxy S24 leaks and specific details related to the Ultra model, here’s a comprehensive overview of what we know about the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Price Speculations:
A hope lingers for Samsung to hold off on pricing or potentially reduce the cost of the Galaxy S24 Ultra compared to the $1,199 starting price of the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Given the premium features packed into the model and the rising costs of smartphone components, a price cut seems unlikely. Initial rumors hinted at potential cost savings through the use of Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Exynos 2400 chips, potentially maintaining prices similar to the Galaxy S23.
Contrary to this, European sources suggest a price of €1,449 for the Galaxy S24 Ultra, €50 more than the initial cost of the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The same sources indicate €50 price cuts for the standard S24 and S24 Plus, but pricing variations between regions are expected.
Pre-Order Promotion:
Regardless of the final cost of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Samsung is offering an opportunity to save on the device with a promotion running from now until January 16. By pre-ordering on Samsung’s website or the Shop Samsung app, users can secure a $50 credit on their purchase, with no obligation to buy, requiring only a name and email address.
Bonus Speculations:
There are also speculations about this year’s pre-order bonuses, potentially including double storage at no extra cost, along with discount vouchers for an undisclosed Galaxy Watch and the Galaxy Buds FE.
