Make Every day Experiences Epic
Galaxy AI introduces meaningful intelligence aimed at enhancing every part of life, especially the phone’s most fundamental role: communication. Galaxy S24 makes it easier than ever when you need to defy language barriers.
Chat with another student or colleague from abroad. Book a reservation while on vacation in another country. It is all possible with Live Translate, which is two-way, real-time voice and text translations of phone calls within the native app. No third-party apps are required, and on-device AI keeps conversations completely private.
The interpreter enables a split-screen view, instantly translating live conversations for people standing opposite each other to read a text transcription of what the other person has said. It even works without cellular data or Wi-Fi. Chat Assist can help perfect conversational tones in messages and other apps, ensuring that communication sounds as intended. It can help create a polite message to a co-worker or a short and catchy phrase for a social media caption.
AI built into Samsung Keyboard can also translate messages in real-time in 13 languages[iv]. In the car, Android Auto will automatically summarise incoming messages and suggest relevant replies and actions, like sending someone your ETA, so you can stay connected while staying focused on the road.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Series Note Assist
Organisation also gets a big boost with Note Assist in Samsung Notes, featuring AI-generated summaries, template creation that streamlines notes with pre-made formats, and cover creation to make notes easy to spot with a brief preview. For voice recordings, even when there are multiple speakers, Transcript Assist uses AI and Speech-to-Text technology to transcribe, summarise and even translate recordings.
Communication is not the only way Samsung Galaxy S24 Series takes the fundamental benefits of the phone into the future. Online search has transformed nearly every aspect of life. Galaxy S24 marks another milestone in the history of search as the innovative phone to debut an intuitive, gesture-driven Circle to Search with Google. To give Galaxy users an incredible new tool, Galaxy turned to one of the worldwide trailblazers of search, Google, and opened up new forms of discovery with a simple gesture.
With a long press on the home button, users can circle, highlight, scribble on, or tap anything on Galaxy S24’s screen to see helpful, high-quality search results. Seeing a beautiful landmark in the background of a friend’s social media post or a surprising fun fact on YouTube Shorts can quickly become an accurate search to learn more – without having to leave that app. Depending on a user‘s location, for certain searches, generative AI-powered overviews can provide helpful information and context pulled together from across the web, and users can ask more complex and nuanced questions. It is that easy. And that epic.
Unleash Creativity to Discover the World in New Ways
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Series’s ProVisual Engine is a comprehensive suite of AI-powered tools that transform image-capturing abilities and maximise creative freedom every step of the way, from setting up a shot all the way to sharing it on social media. Gone are shaky, pixelated images taken from far away. Galaxy S24 Ultra’s Quad Tele System, with a new 5x optical zoom lens, works with the 50MP sensor to enable optical-quality performance at zoom levels from 2x, 3x, and 5x to 10x magnification thanks to Adaptive Pixel Sensor. Images also show crystal clear results at 100x with enhanced digital zoom.
With upgraded Nightography capabilities, photos and videos shot on Galaxy S24 Space Zoom are brilliant in any condition, even when zoomed in. The Galaxy S24 Ultra features a larger pixel size of 1.4 μm, which is 60% bigger than the previous model, allowing it to capture more light in dim conditions. The wider optical image stabilizer (OIS) angles and enhanced hand-shake compensation on the Galaxy S24 Ultra also help to reduce blur.
Enhanced Imaging and Editing Capabilities
The Samsung Galaxy S24 utilizes a dedicated ISP Block for noise reduction in both front and rear cameras while recording videos. Additionally, it analyzes gyro information to distinguish between the filmer’s movement and the subject’s. This allows more effective noise removal and clear videos in the dark, even from far away.
After great shots are captured, innovative Galaxy AI editing tools enable simple edits like erase, re-compose and remaster. For easier and more efficient optimisations, Edit Suggestion[xii] uses Galaxy AI to suggest perfectly suitable tweaks for each photo. To give users even more creative control and freedom, Generative Edit can fill in parts of an image background with generative AI. When a picture is crooked, AI will fill in the borders.
Enhanced Imaging with Galaxy S24
AI allows users to adjust the position of the subject when it needs slight movement to be in the perfect position. It then generates a blended background in the object’s original spot. Anytime Galaxy S24 deploys generative AI to amplify an image, a watermark will appear on the image and in metadata. New Instant Slow-mo can generate additional frames based on movements to smoothly slow down action-packed moments for a more detailed look if you need to slow down an action-packed video.
To ensure every image stuns at every stage, Super HDR reveals lifelike previews before the shutter is ever pressed. While capturing memories is an essential phone feature, sharing memories with the world is just as meaningful. Now, third-party social apps make the most of Galaxy’s AI-powered camera system.
Premium Galaxy S Series camera features now integrate directly with mobile apps in HDR to level up social sharing. The Gallery and Instagram feed show photos and videos in Super HDR when searching for an image. This feature analyses the highlighted sections of the images to produce a more lifelike range of brightness, colour, and contrast.
Galaxy’s Most Intelligent Experience Ever
As AI becomes a more prominent part of everyday life, performance power must excel to meet the demands. Gaming. Heavy-duty video recording and editing. Jumping between five apps to plan a trip. Whatever the task, Galaxy S24 provides an incredible experience thanks to enhancements in its chipset, display and more. Every Galaxy S24 Ultra is equipped with Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform for Galaxy.
Optimised especially for Galaxy users, this chipset delivers remarkable NPU improvement for incredibly efficient AI processing. In all three Galaxy S24 models, 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rates also improve performance efficiency. Galaxy gaming is more powerful, thanks to hardware and software improvements. Galaxy S24 Ultra boast an optimal thermal control system with a 1.9 times larger vapor chamber, improving device surface temperature, while also maximising sustained performance power.
Immersive Visuals and Enhanced Durability
Ray tracing enables life-like visuals with superior shadow and reflection effects. And through collaboration with formidable gaming partners, Galaxy S24 lets users enjoy more optimised, popular global mobile games. Visuals are more vibrant and captivating on the brightest Galaxy display ever. Galaxy S24 reaches 2,600nit peak brightness and delivers improved outdoor visibility with Vision Booster.
On the display, Corning® Gorilla® Armoron, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is optically enhanced and strives to demonstrate superior durability against damage caused by everyday scratches. It delivers dramatically reduced reflection by up to 75% in a wide range of lighting conditions, ensuring a smooth, comfortable viewing experience. Across the Galaxy S24 Series, design enhancements with slimmer and even bezels make it easier to immerse in any viewing experience and enable larger screen sizes on Galaxy S24+’s 6.7-inch and Galaxy S24’s 6.2-inch displays within nearly the same size specifications. Galaxy S24 Ultra has a 6.8-inch flatter display, optimised not just for viewing but also for productivity. Plus, the Galaxy S24+ now supports the same level of QHD+ found on the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Advanced Security and Privacy Empowers User Choice and Trust
Secured by Samsung Knox, Galaxy’s defence-grade, multi-layer security platform, Galaxy S24 safeguards critical information and protects against vulnerabilities with end-to-end secure hardware, real-time threat detection and collaborative protection. Samsung’s long-standing commitment to provide users choice and control over their device continues in the era of AI. Galaxy S24 users have full controllability over how much they allow their data to enhance AI experiences, through Advanced Intelligence settings, which can disable online processing of data for AI features.
The Knox Matrix vision of a secure, connected and password-less future is also advanced with passkeys. Passkeys enable convenient and secure access to a user’s registered websites and apps across all their trusted devices through digital credentials, helping protect against phishing attacks.
Enhanced Data Protection offers end-to-end encryption when users backup, sync or restore their data with Samsung Cloud, allowing Galaxy S24 users to connect to other devices while staying synchronised and secure. To ensure that only the user can encrypt or decrypt data on their devices, the system allows nobody else to access it, even if someone hacks the server or steals an account. Additionally, if the user loses access to a trusted device, they can use a recovery code to prevent data loss.
Galaxy S24 is also protected with Samsung’s expansive list of innovative security and privacy features including Knox Vault, Security & Privacy Dashboard, Auto Blocker, Secure Wi-Fi, Private Share, Maintenance Mode and more.
The Next Phase of Samsung’s Environmental Journey
To establish a new category of mobile experiences, we need to reimagine how we design and package Galaxy technology to achieve more with less for the people and the planet. Galaxy S24 continues to scale the variety of recycled materials in Galaxy devices by applying recycled plastics, glass and aluminium to internal and external components.
It also takes these efforts one step further. For the first time, Galaxy S24 features components made with recycled cobalt and rare earth elements. The battery of Galaxy S24 Ultra contains a minimum of 50% recycled cobalt, and the speakers incorporate 100% recycled rare earth elements. Additionally, Samsung designed the Galaxy S24 with recycled steel and Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU), making it the first Galaxy S Series to have these eco-friendly materials. Galaxy S24 Ultra features a minimum of 40% recycled steel in the speakers[xxvii], and it includes a minimum of 10% pre-consumer recycled TPU in the side and volume keys. Additionally, every Galaxy S24 comes in a packaging box made from 100% recycled paper material.
Commitment to Sustainability
The latest flagship continues Samsung’s commitment to extending the product lifecycle, offering seven generations of OS upgrades and seven years of security updates to help users reliably experience the optimised performance of their Galaxy devices for even longer. Lastly, Galaxy S24 is UL ECOLOGO® certified, and its carbon footprint has been measured and verified by The Carbon Trust.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Series is a demonstration of progress against Samsung MX’s environmental roadmap. Samsung remains steadfast in delivering on its set of goals to be achieved by the end of 2025. At the end of 2022, Samsung achieved the first of these goals by incorporating recycled materials in all mobile products, from Galaxy smartphones and tablets to PCs and wearables. Today, the company is setting a new recycled material goal. By 2030, Samsung will incorporate at least one recycled material in every module of every mobile product.
Precision Technology and Elegance in Every Detail
Galaxy S24 Ultra is the first-ever Galaxy phone to feature a titanium frame, enhancing device durability and longevity. Galaxy S24 Ultra’s significantly thinner body enables better on-the-go experience with a more comfortable grip. On Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24, a streamlined One-mass design satisfies a more aesthetic standard with seamless connection between the device’s rear cover and side frame.
