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 and subsequently released on January 31, 2024.[8][9] The S24 FE was announced on September 26, 2024, and was released on October 3, 2024.[10]
Lineup

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 the USA, Canada, 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.[11][12] Conversely, the S24 FE comes with an underclocked variant of the Exynos 2400 called the Exynos 2400e in every market including North America.[13]
