With this being the final week before the Galaxy S24 Unpacked, leakers are in a rush to post all the info they have. The latest rumors have revealed some more marketing material, nifty AI features, as well as Pixel 8-rivalling software commitment.
The first leak comes from leaker Ahmed Qwaider. He has posted a bunch of marketing images that give us another look at the Galaxy S24 Ultra's flat screen and some of the AI features we have been hearing about.
The rumor reiterates that the base model will have a 6.2-inch display, the Galaxy S24 Plus will boast a 6.7-inch screen, and the Ultra will come with a 6.8-inch screen. All the phones will offer a peak brightness of 2,600 nits.
Galaxy S24 AI features and specs
For the summarize feature, you'll apparently have to copy the content to the Notes app, which will then use the Note Assist feature to summarize, format, and even translate information.
The long-rumored Live Translate feature will be built into the Samsung Phone app and act as a real-time interpreter of sorts.
AndroidHeadlines has also posted some promo images which are in line with earlier reports. First off, a seemingly official image appears to confirm that the Galaxy S24 Ultra's 10MP 10x camera will be retired in favor of a 50MP camera with 5x optical zoom. Samsung wants you to believe that this is not a downgrade by emphasizing that the module will offer 10x optical quality zoom and some leakers seem to agree. The main 200MP camera will be capable of 2x optical quality zoom.
The images also show a Pixel 8 Magic Editor-like feature that lets you edit a photo after you capture it and do things such as change the position of the subject, to make the final image conform to what you had in mind before you clicked it.
The Galaxy S24 will be supported for seven years
An earlier rumor had revealed that like the Pixel 8, the Galaxy S24 might also need help from Samsung's servers to complete some AI tasks. While that on its own might be enough to put off some users, today's leak has laid down even more stipulations.
First off, it says that Samsung will let you use Galaxy AI features for free until at least 2025, which implies the company expects you to pay for some of them down the line. Other than that, you may require a Samsung account to use some of the features.
Today's report also says that Samsung will match Google's policy of seven years of operating system updates with the Galaxy S24. Samsung currently supports its phones for five years and the longer support will surely help the Galaxy S24 become one of the best phones of 2024.
