There is no end to Galaxy S24 leaks. Shortly after we exclusively revealed the official renders of the base Galaxy S24, renders of the Plus and Ultra models leaked too. A fresh leak has confirmed the launch date for the new phones. As rumored before, Samsung will host the Galaxy Unpacked event on January 17, 2024 (January 18 in some countries due to the time difference).
Leak reveals the Galaxy S24 launch date
Noted X leakster Evan Blass recently shared a GIF that appears to be a short screen recording from a page on Samsung’s official website. The said page shows a countdown to the live stream of the next Galaxy Unpacked event. It has a button to add the event to your calendar. The time and date for the event are mentioned too. It kicks off at 3 AM KST (Korea Standard Time) on Thursday, January 18, 2024.
That’s 10 AM PT/1 PM EST/6 PM GMT/ 11:30 PM IST on Wednesday, January 17, 2024. Since the event is rumored to take place in San Jose, California, USA, the local start time of the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event will be 10 AM on January 17. While the leaked official countdown doesn’t mention the Galaxy S24, we all know that Samsung will launch the new flagship lineup at the event.
Leaks have revealed that the Galaxy S24 phones will have artificial intelligence (AI) built into the system. Samsung has baked AI into the One UI software for a seamless user experience. You will find AI in almost every system app and function, from calling and voice recorder to camera, galley, Samsung Notes, Settings, and more. The new flagships will offer AI features and functional enhancements everywhere.
Unsurprisingly, Samsung’s official launch invite for the Galaxy Unpacked event will prominently feature AI. “Galaxy AI is coming,” an animation next to the leaked countdown states. The “sparkle” animation shows an icon identical to the Google Bard logo. It appears Galaxy S24’s on-device AI will be heavily influenced by Google’s AI chatbot. Samsung has also launched its generative AI model called Samsung Gauss.
Samsung will open pre-orders for new flagships immediately after launch
While this leak doesn’t give us the market release date for the Galaxy S24 trio, earlier leaks have revealed that too. As usual, Samsung will open pre-orders for the new flagships immediately after the launch event on January 17. General sales of the phones are expected to begin on January 30. AT&T has already certified the unannounced Samsung flagships—carrier-locked and unlocked variants. Stay tuned for the official announcement.
