When Will Samsung Release the Galaxy S24?

Rumors are flying and smartphone shoppers are wondering when Samsung will release the new Galaxy S24 series. We don’t have a definitive date yet, but we can certainly help set proper expectations if you’re thinking about upgrading.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 series isn’t official yet, but we’ve seen an avalanche of rumors highlight the upgrades the company’s planning to make to the popular Galaxy S series in 2024.

Upgrades include an improved display, new processors from Qualcomm and Samsung, and new AI software features. These are exciting phones and they should be on your radar if you’re in the hunt for a new phone.

If you’re desperate to upgrade, and/or you’ve got your sights set on a Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, or Galaxy S24 Ultra, here’s what you need to know about Samsung’s Galaxy S24 announcement and release date for the new Galaxy S models.

Samsung’s confirmed an Unpacked event for January 17th and that’s when the devices will make their first official appearance.  But how about the release date?

The release date is more uncertain right now, but if Samsung utilizes a familiar approach, we should see the Galaxy S24 models go up for pre-order shortly after the announcement.

Here’s how the company handled the last three Galaxy S launches:

• Galaxy S23 Announcement: February 1st, 2023
• Galaxy S23 Release Date: February 17th, 2023
• Galaxy S22 Announcement: February 9th, 2022
• Galaxy S22 Release Date: February 25th, 2022
• Galaxy S21 Announcement: January 14th, 2021
• Galaxy S21 Release Date: January 29th, 2021

So, unless Samsung changes things up this year, you can expect the Galaxy S24 release date to land a couple of weeks after the initial announcement. Either in late January or early February.

Keep this timing in mind if you’re thinking about waiting for the Galaxy S24, Galaxy 24+, or Galaxy S24 Ultra. And if you’re thinking about pre-ordering a Galaxy S24, have a look at our guide.
