Samsung has ramped up its preparations for the Galaxy S24 launch in January 2024. Last week, the company picked up the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) certification for the Ultra model, confirming dual-SIM support for the phone in the country. It has now obtained a couple more regulatory certifications for the new flagship. Thailand’s NBTC and South Korea’s Safety Korea recently certified the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Galaxy S24 Ultra receives more regulatory certifications ahead of launch
The NBTC has certified the Galaxy S24 Ultra with the same model number as the BIS, i.e. SM-S928B (via MySmartPrice). It is the global version of the phone. The Korean version, tested and granted the Safety Korea certification by the Korea Testing & Research Institute (KTR), bears the model number SM-S928N. The US version is SM-S928U. It should also soon start showing up in certification listings.
As usual, these certifications don’t give us much information about the device. However, it is an indication that Samsung has completed the development work and is now in the process of bringing the product to the market. The Korean behemoth was previously spotted obtaining regulatory approvals for accessories and components such as the S Pen and batteries. The Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ should also soon receive regulatory certifications.
Rumors have it that Samsung will launch the new flagships on January 17, 2024. The launch event, which the company calls Galaxy Unpacked, will take place in Apple’s backyard, i.e. San Jose, USA. Pre-orders for the phone will begin immediately after the launch, at least in some countries. The Korean firm reportedly plans to open general sales of the Galaxy S24 series on January 30.
The new Samsung flagship has already leaked in real-life photos
The Galaxy S24 Ultra may still be about two months away from its market debut but we have already seen it in real-life photos. Leaked images confirmed a flat display for the phone and showed its titanium frame. Based on available data, the handset is slightly shorter and wider than the 2023 model. This is to keep the display size unchanged at 6.8 inches even after switching from a curved to a flat panel.
The other two Galaxy S24 models won’t see major design changes. Samsung already used flat screens for those. We may see some changes in dimensions, though. The entire lineup will be powered by the Exynos 2400 or Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (for Galaxy version). The Korean firm plans to make these the best AI phones ever. It has even applied for an “AI Phone” trademark. More information about the phones should surface in the build-up to the launch.
