Samsung Galaxy S24 Series’ Price Leaked, Satellite Feature Rumored

Samsung enthusiasts, brace yourselves for the next Unpacked event scheduled to unveil the much-anticipated Galaxy S24 series. Rumored to take place on January 17 in San Jose, California, the event promises to showcase Samsung's latest flagship smartphones. While details about the devices have been scarce, recent reports shed light on Samsung's pricing strategy and noteworthy features.

Competitive Pricing: Sticking to the Winning Formula

In a bid to remain competitive in the smartphone market, Samsung plans to mirror the pricing strategy of the previous Galaxy S23 series, according to recent leaks. The Galaxy S24 lineup, consisting of the base model, a Plus variant, and the Ultra model, is expected to hit the market with identical price tags as their predecessors.

As per a report from Hankyung, the Galaxy S24 will be priced at $799, the Galaxy S24+ at $999, and the Galaxy S24 Ultra at $1,199. Variants with additional memory will command higher prices.

Exynos Chip for Cost Control

To adhere to these prices, Samsung is reportedly opting for the Exynos 2400 chip for the base and Plus variants in select markets. The Galaxy S24 Ultra, on the other hand, is anticipated to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip globally. This strategic move aims to facilitate a 10% increase in sales in the recovering smartphone market, with Samsung targeting a minimum of 33 million Galaxy S24 units sold.

Emergency Satellite Texting Feature: A New Standard?

Intriguingly, a separate report adds a new dimension to the Galaxy S24 series. The smartphones are rumored to include an emergency satellite texting feature, aligning with 3GPP standards. While the leaked screenshot confirms the presence of this feature, its availability in all markets from the outset remains uncertain.

Market Recovery and Increased Sales

Samsung's decision to maintain last year's prices is rooted in its belief that offering more features at the same or lower price than competitors will drive sales in a market on the path to recovery. With the Galaxy S24 series positioned as Samsung's first AI phone, the company is confident that technological advancements will contribute to the success of its flagship device.'
