The Galaxy AI Unpacked event was no doubt an interesting one. As hinted by the name, the event was concentrated mainly on the new AI-powered features that the new Galaxy S24 lineup will come with. Of course, we saw the unveiling of the new Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus, and Galaxy S24 Ultra, which really sounds like the new king of all Android phones, especially with those fancy AI features.
During the event, Samsung even announced its latest health-tracking device, which wasn't a smartwatch or a smart band; it was a ring. The Galaxy Ring. So, we expect Samsung to shed some more light on its new fancy jewelry in the coming months, so stay tuned for that as well.

Samsung Unpacked is now live
The wait is over. Samsung's Galaxy AI Unpacked event is now on!

Less than 10 minutes!
That's it, guys! We have less than 10 minutes until Samsung's Galaxy AI Unpacked event, which means we are just moments away from Samsung unveiling its latest top dogs, the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus, and its majestic king, the Galaxy S24 Ultra!

The Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus's refresh rate could go as low as 1 Hz
A nice expected upgrade to the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus is that they may sport LTPO displays, allowing them to drop their refresh rate as low as 1 Hz when static content, such as emails, is displayed on the screen. This will allow the phones to save battery life when possible.
In comparison, the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus can go as low as 24 Hz, and only the Galaxy S23 Ultra was able to lower its refresh rate to 1 Hz

An awesome Live Translate feature may be coming as well
An awesome Live Translate during calls feature may be coming as well.
The language barrier is usually challenging to breach. While we have Google Translate, it's hard to use it during a phone call, right? Well, according to rumors, the new Galaxy S24 phones will pack an AI-powered feature called Live Translate during calls, which will translate phone calls in real time. Now, that's useful, don't you think?
It remains to be seen whether rumors will be correct on this one. We really hope so, since this is a feature that could save a lot of time and make communication with foreigners faster and easier.
Preslav Mladenov
Almost there!
We have a little more than an hour left until Samsung announces its latest Galaxy S lineup. So if you still have some things to do, we suggest you do them fast, since not much time is left, and you definitely don't want to miss Samsung's announcement.

One UI 6.1 and the awesome AI-powered feature we expect it to bring
AI was the theme last year, and it appears it will be the hottest topic on the block this year as well. According to the rumor mill, One UI 6.1 will bring new AI-enhanced video processing, improving low-light performance.
Furthermore, it's expected that users will be able to erase subjects from videos with a simple selection. Rumors also suggest that, with the help of AI, users will be able to expand the borders of a photo and recreate more of it.
Outside the camera department, One UI 6.1 is anticipated to pack an AI-powered feature that will summarize your calls by extracting important information. Moreover, the AI will then suggest actions such as putting things on your calendar or to-do list.

Galaxy S24 Ultra: expected camera specs
While performance is no doubt important, the aspect that excites people the most in a smartphone is not performance; it's the phone's camera capabilities. And being Samsung's next top-of-the-line phone and possibly the new king of all Android smartphones, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is expected to take incredible photos and pack awesome cameras.
Here are the anticipated camera specs at a glance:
Now, those with a keen eye will most likely notice that there probably won't be any 10X periscope camera on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Instead, Samsung'll most likely use a 5X telephoto shooter, which will allow the phone to snap extremely close 5X portraits.

Curious about the 'vanilla' Galaxy S24? Here's what we've heard so far
Renders of the Galaxy S24
Of course everyone is talking about the S24 Ultra. But what about the base S24? From leaks and rumors, we've heard the following new things the Galaxy S24 is expected to rock: an evolved design with flat sides, slimmer screen borders, a 6.2-inch display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in most markets, 8 gigs of RAM, new camera processing (but same triple camera hardware), and a slightly bigger 4,000mAh battery.

Galaxy Unpacked 2024 livestream will begin in less than three hours
In less than three hours, we're going to be watching the official unveiling of the trio. The event will be livestreamed on Samsung's official YouTube channel, while it's actually live in San Jose. We expect the flagships to be unveiled, and we're not expecting other devices, so no Buds or foldables this time around, just like any year. We're also going to see One UI 6.1 with Android 14 during the event, most likely.
Here's how to watch the event livestream, but if you can't watch it, stay with us as we'll report live here what is happening during the event, so you can browse through the most important things without watching the stream.

A plethora of exciting Galaxy S24 colors seem to await us as well
This year, Samsung's taking things up a notch when it comes to colors, it seems. Leaks say we're going to see loads of different color options for the three phones. We expect the following colors for the S24 and S24+: Amber Yellow, Cobalt Violet, Jade Green, Marble Gray, Onyx Black, Sandstone Orange, and Sapphire Blue. Keep in mind some of these are likely to be exclusive to Samsung.com buyers, so not all colors will be available for purchase at every retailer.

For the Ultra, we expect colors like Titanium Black, Titanium Gray, Titanium Yellow, and Titanium Violet, according to leaks.

Back to the star of the show, the Galaxy S24 Ultra: expectations in a nutshell
According to leaks, Samsung has prepped quite a few exciting changes for its king flagship, the Galaxy S24 Ultra. A new titanium design with Gorilla Glass Armor (likely a tougher successor to Gorilla Glass Victus 2) at the front and back are expected. Around the globe, buyers will enjoy the ultra-fast Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. Reportedly, we also expect a brighter display, allegedly capable of hitting 2,600 nits of peak brightness.
As usual, we'll most likely see 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage options. And as the cherry on top: new AI features and functionalities.

Leak details the pre-order perks and bonuses for S24 European buyers
If this leak turns out to be true, in Austria (and likely in many other EU countries), getting a pre-order deal means a free storage upgrade. You could even be able to get a 1TB S24 Ultra at the price of the 512GB version. We don't have any leaks about the US perks as of yet, but Samsung is known to give very sweet deals to early buyers, so we expect things to be exciting for US buyers as well!

A new design for the S24 Ultra is expected as well
Apart from the powerful chip and AI to make your life easier, we also expect to see a new design on the Ultra: Samsung seems to be ready to ditch the curves and have the Ultra with a completely flat screen, according to leaks. The most powerful device from the trio will also reportedly feature a titanium frame.

Apart from that, we expect a new 5X telephoto instead of the 10X periscope for the Ultra, a brighter display, and new and gorgeous-looking colors. Stay with us as the event nears as we'll discuss more leaks and things to expect.
Galaxy Unpacked 2024: we'll be seeing the Galaxy S24 Ultra, S24 Plus, S24 officially
Almost everything there is to be known about the flagship trio has somewhat been leaked online. Of course, Samsung may have managed to hide a surprise or two... or maybe not! We'll see! For now, we expect several note-worthy changes with the S24 phones.
Renders of the S24 devices
As usual, we expect the most powerful chip for 2024, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, to power the devices. There are some rumors the base S24 will have an Exynos 2400 internationally. We expect AI to be a key thing for the new Galaxy generation, and Samsung seems to have planned to make AI the center of attention this time.
