AI prepares to rule in a new Galaxy

Artificial intelligence is pushed to the fore in Samsung’s next generation phones... but what will it mean for users?

WOULD it surprise you too much to learn that Samsung's new flagship Galaxy phone launch featured two words rather heavily? And that those two words can be abbreviated to two letters.

Of course, you know I'm talking about artificial intelligence - the S24 series of smartphones is riddled with it... and Samsung says it's the dawning of a "new era".

Before we get into that, while it's true to say the hardware this year isn't the main event, there are still upgrades to be noted.

The S24 series comes in three flavours, the standard S24 has a 6.2in screen, the S24+ with a 6.7in screen, and the S24 Ultra at 6.8in.

The Ultra also has a titanium frame, which should offer strength and weight boosts. The two other phones stick to aluminium.

The S24 and S24+ are more or less the same phones, apart from screen size and resolution the larger phone tops out at 1440p while the smaller is just 1080p.

The cameras on the S24 and S24+ are the same spec as last year's S23 series: three cameras - a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide, and a 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom.
