ALBAWABA - In a significant pre-launch revelation, renowned leaker Evan Blass shared an invitation to the Galaxy Unpacked event, shedding light on the specifications of the highly anticipated Galaxy S24 series. 

According to the leak, the official unveiling of the Galaxy S24 lineup is scheduled for January 18, aligning with earlier speculations that pointed towards dates around January 17-18. The invitation intriguingly teases, 'Galaxy AI is coming,' confirming speculations about Samsung's commitment to integrating on-device artificial intelligence (AI) into the S24 series, marking a potential shift in the smartphone landscape.

Rumors circulating in tech circles suggest that Samsung's mobile president, TM Roh, has urged for new names and slogans for both the Galaxy S24 series and its AI initiatives. This has only intensified the anticipation surrounding the introduction of a new era of AI capabilities in Samsung's upcoming flagship phones.

Diving into the leaked specifications, the details largely corroborate with previous rumors. The Galaxy S24 features a 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with FHD+ resolution and an impressive 120Hz refresh rate. Its sibling, the S24+, steps up with a 6.7-inch QHD+ display, while the S24 Ultra boasts a substantial 6.8-inch screen. Notably, the S24 and S24+ adopt aluminum construction, whereas the S24 Ultra distinguishes itself with a titanium frame.

All three models – S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra – showcase telephoto cameras enabling 3x zoom, complemented by a robust 50 MP main camera capable of recording videos up to 8K. The S24 Ultra, standing out with its 3x and 10x zoom telephoto cameras and a staggering 200 MP main sensor, appears to be the series' photography powerhouse.

According to the leaked list, all models will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. However, regional variations are expected, with previous reports hinting at the use of the Exynos 2400 system chip in South Korea, Europe, and India. Storage configurations differ, with the S24 offering 8 GB RAM and 128/256 GB storage, while the S24+ and S24 Ultra elevate with 12 GB RAM and 256/512 GB storage. Battery capacities range from 4000 mAh in the S24 to 5000 mAh in the S24 Ultra.

Adding a layer of intrigue, recent speculation by Ice Universe suggests the possibility of the S24 launching with 12 GB RAM in select markets. As anticipation continues to build, all eyes are now set on the official Galaxy Unpacked event for the comprehensive unveiling of the Galaxy S24 series.
