Samsung‘s retail partners can’t seem to wait for the Galaxy S24 launch. Last week, one of its partners in Colombia prematurely listed the unannounced phones on its website. US retail giant Walmart has now made the same blunder. It accidentally published the product page for the Galaxy S24+, revealing key specs. The page has since been taken down but a cached version is still available.

Walmart spills the beans on Samsung’s Galaxy S24+

There is no dearth of Galaxy S24 leaks on the internet. We already know a lot about the devices, including the design, specs, and even alleged prices for some markets. Walmart’s premature listing for the Plus model confirmed its rumored specs. As expected, the device will feature a 6.7-inch display with a 3120×1440 pixels resolution. The chipset isn’t mentioned but we know that the US version will be powered by an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

Samsung will offer 12GB RAM as standard, with 256GB and 512GB storage options. The Galaxy S24+ has a 12MP selfie camera and a 50MP primary rear camera. These are the same cameras found on last year’s Galaxy S23+. The 10MP 3x zoom camera and 12MP ultrawide lens on the back may also remain unchanged. The company will also limit the phone to 45W wired charging but increase the battery capacity to 4,900mAh.

The listing also revealed the new AI features that Samsung will introduce with the upcoming flagship lineup. These include live translation of audio calls and an AI-powered photo editing tool. The Galaxy S24 lineup will offer AI features across various apps and functions such as cameras, battery health monitoring, wallpapers, and the lockscreen. The phones are more about software enhancements than hardware upgrades.

Walmart listed the Onyx Black color variant of the Galaxy S24+. The handset will also come in Marble Gray, Cobalt Violet, and Amber Yellow colors. There may be a few Samsung-exclusive colorways too, only available from the Korean firm’s official website. The handset measures 0.30 × 2.99 × 6.24 inches in dimension and weighs 6.95 oz (197 grams). It is slightly shorter than the 2023 model while still packing a bigger battery.

The official launch is just around the corner

The American retail giant published its Galaxy S24+ listing about three weeks too early. Samsung is gearing up to officially launch the device, alongside the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Ultra, on January 17. Pre-orders are expected to open immediately after launch, so Walmart’s now-deleted web page should be back up later this month. We will let you know when Samsung officially announces the Galaxy S24 launch date.
