As the speculated launch date of the Galaxy S24 series on January 17 approaches, details about Samsung's upcoming flagship phones are starting to emerge.

A recent leak provides a first glimpse of the purported Galaxy S24 Ultra in an elegant silver hue. While closely resembling the outgoing Galaxy S23 Ultra, the notable difference lies in its flat screen and back design.

The anticipated S24 Ultra is expected to maintain the camera layout of its predecessor, housed within a distinctive metal ring.

A notable upgrade is the rumoured titanium frame, set to replace the Armor Aluminum casing seen in the S23 series, akin to the new iPhone 15 series.

On the right side of the phone, a power button and volume rocker are visible, along with antenna lines on the slightly curved metal frame.

A closer inspection reveals a SIM card slot on the right side and an S Pen slot on the bottom, all contributing to the phone's maintained boxy design.

Samsung is poised to officially reveal the Galaxy S24 series at a special event in San Jose, California, on January 17.

Following the event, pre-orders are speculated to commence, with the initial shipments likely arriving a week later.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra is expected to boast the all-new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC with generative AI capabilities in select regions, while other countries will receive the Exynos 2400 chip.

Complementing the chip's generative AI capabilities, Samsung introduces Gauss AI for Galaxy phones.

Serving as Samsung's version of ChatGPT for phones, Gauss AI is equipped to generate text, including summaries and explanations, and produce images akin to DALL-E. Moreover, it is designed to assist programmers with coding tasks.
