Galaxy S24 AI Phone: Let Samsung lead the AI era, starting 2024
Samsung’s first Galaxy AI Phone, the Galaxy S24 will be unveiled in San Jose, USA on January 17, 2024. The appearance is not much different from the previous model, but it is attracting attention as an AI phone equipped with a generative AI model.
AI technology has reached an important inflection point that will determine the success or failure of smartphones. Samsung plans to use the Galaxy S24 to open the era of so-called “on-device AI”, which implements AI within the device.

Samsung will install its self-developed AI Gauss x Galaxy AI in the Galaxy S24 flagships. The newly introduced Galaxy AI is implemented with on-device AI built into the device.
This is a technology that collects and processes information within the device itself. Because it does not go through an external server, processing speed is fast and security is high.
Galaxy AI is expected to be equipped with not only Samsung Gauss but also the latest AI models from global big tech, such as Open AI’s “GPT-4” and Google’s “Gemini.”
In the case of Google, it maintains a cooperation system with Samsung and Android, and additional AI models can be installed through relatively simple methods such as firmware updates.
The main function of Galaxy equipped with AI is real-time interpretation calls. Even without installing a separate external app, Galaxy AI interprets and delivers information in the other party’s language in real-time.
Device control, sentence summary, and grammar correction are also possible from the terminal itself. Generative AI is also used in major services such as photos, messages, and voice recognition.
The company has set a production plan for the Galaxy S24 series at 35.28 million units. This is an aggressive target that is about 13% higher than the previous work.
This reflects confidence in the first AI phone. The plan is to lead the next-generation smartphone competition by setting the unpack location in Silicon Valley, the US, the courtyard of rival Apple.
Like its predecessor, the Galaxy S24 series will be released in three versions: Standard, Plus, and Ultra, with approximately 15 million units, or 45% of total shipments, are Ultra models.
The change in appearance is that the edge display will disappear for the Ultra model and a titanium frame will be applied. The thickness is reduced by 0.3 mm and the weight becomes lighter.
There is no significant difference in appearance between the basic and Plus models from the previous model. In the Ultra model, one of the rear telephoto cameras is changed to 50MP, which is 5x of its predecessor.
Thanks to this, a 5x optical zoom function is possible. The remaining front and rear camera performances are the same. The basic and plus model cameras are the same as the previous model.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra could solely use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chip, and the basic and Plus models are expected to be equipped with the Exynos 2400 chip and Snapdragon depending on the market.
