An important detail: increased the battery capacity by 100 mAh on the S24, to 4000 mAh, and by 200 mAh on the “medium” to 4900 mAh. The top model Ultra remains at 5000 mAh.

The S24 weighs 168 grams, the S24+ is 29 grams heavier than the average, and the S24 Ultra is 232 grams. Compared to the S23, the change in this aspect is minor. There are no significant changes in design or charging speed.

Samsung says all three models have more impact- and scratch-resistant glass, while the S24 Ultra has a titanium body. The processing is better, so the battery life is also increased compared to the previous generation, the company promises.

There are storage options

128/256/512 GB on S24

256/512GB on S24+

256/512/1 TB on S24 Ultra

The amount of RAM is 8 GB in the small model and 12 GB in the other two phones.

The Galaxy S24 promises many AI applications

More than ever before with the launch of the Galaxy S, Samsung has paid a lot of attention to applications with artificial intelligence, which can be used for photo editing, real-time translation or fast web searches, among other things. Samsung has launched an artificial intelligence platform and promises many useful applications, not just for entertainment. Some can also be used without an internet connection. Samsung’s phones have had various AI programs, but the company is promising something “fundamentally different.”

One example is Circle to Search, which lets you take pictures of real things to instantly learn more about the objects you circle on your phone.

Another AI application is the real-time translation of phone conversations, an application that is available in 13 languages, and Samsung promises that it will be in Romanian in the future.

The Galaxy S24 will also have a photo editing suggestions feature, essentially a feature that will give you ideas on what you can change in an image to make it more “Instagrammable” for example.

There will also be a “creative editing” feature, where you can move elements or people in the image, and the free space is automatically “filled” by the AI ​​software with elements created from scratch. For example, phone software can automatically place an audience in the stands of a stadium, shrink or enlarge various elements, or fill in various gaps left in an image by changes made by users to that image.
