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] They were succeeded by the Galaxy S25 series announced on January 22, 2025.[11]

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 U.S., 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.[12][13] Conversely, the S24 FE comes with an underclocked variant of the Exynos 2400 called the Exynos 2400e in every market including North America.[14]

All models use an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, except the S24 FE which uses an optical in-screen fingerprint sensor.

All phones use Google's on-device Gemini Nano, already used by their own Pixel 8 Pro[23] and their Pixel 9 series.

Starting with the Galaxy S24 and all future Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets, 32-bit applications are no longer supported. Devices that were released prior to the Galaxy S24 will continue to support 32-bit apps.[24]

Reception

S Pen bad smell

Some users noted the unpleasant smell of the Galaxy S24 Ultra's S Pen, likened to "burnt plastic". A moderator on Samsung's EU forums said the smell was a normal part of the pen's operation, and "isn't anything to be concerned about".[25][26]

This smell is likely from chemical reactions to the plastic shell of the S Pen, induced by the internal heat of the phone.[27]
