The new Galaxy S24 series offers a unique user experience with integrated Galaxy AI features that simplify life. The new processors are specifically designed to enhance AI capabilities, productivity, and gaming performance while being more energy-efficient. Gamers can enjoy longer playtimes with faster and more accurate ray tracing on the new ultra-bright displays, which offer up to 2600 nits of brightness for perfect visibility even in direct sunlight. The slimmer bezels of the Galaxy S24 and S24+ allow for larger displays in compact devices. The new Galaxy S24 Ultra is even more resilient and durable thanks to its new titanium casing and Corning Gorilla Armor Glass. The S24 and S24+ feature the new Armor Aluminum 2.0, which is also more durable than its predecessor.
