Samsung Galaxy S24 Series Parts Leak, Hinting at Design Variation

As Samsung prepares for its Galaxy Unpacked 2024 event on January 17, the firm is also working with multiple service center partners throughout the world, most likely supplying them with various components to help fulfill customer warranties in the event that any Galaxy S24 component fails on them.

Spare Parts for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Lineup Have Begun To Circulate Online

One Slovenian repair shop published some high-resolution photographs of the forthcoming flagship family's USB-C connections, as well as a readily visible SIM card tray. Mobistekla shared the spare parts with GSMArena, who supplied zoomed photographs of several parts from the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus, and Galaxy S24 Ultra.

A few flex and ribbon cables for the power and volume buttons were not included in the photographs, but the USB-C connections on the PCB were the most noteworthy. These spare parts suggest that Samsung would use different components for each of the three Galaxy S24 versions, which would have facilitated the supply chain and third-party repair workers.

Rubber gaskets covering the USB-C port, which is designed to keep water out of the costly flagships, were also seen. If you haven't noticed, there are also SIM card trays right next to the USB-C connections, which is all the proof you need to know that the Galaxy S24 will not support eSIM, but there may be a secondary alternative placed somewhere on the logic board.

The PCB's backside has two connections, which must connect to the remainder of the board. Overall, these components were unremarkable, but perhaps we'll uncover something intriguing when the first deconstruction videos arrive, so stay tuned.

Pricing for Samsung Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus Remain Unchanged in Samsung's Home Market

The Samsung Galaxy S24 series is expected to be formally announced by Samsung on January 17, with the flagship three also being launched in the company's native country of South Korea. The business was originally speculated to keep costs consistent with the Galaxy S23, but new evidence suggests that this degree of consistency will not be relevant to all storage variants.

According to the most recent Korean rumor, no matter what Galaxy S24 Ultra model you choose, it will be more expensive than the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The base version with 256GB of internal storage is supposed to be priced at KRW 1,698,400, or around $1,295 (price raised by KRW 99,000, or $83), provided the current exchange rate estimate is within the margin of error. According to these figures, the 512GB option will be more costly, which is not surprising.

When it comes to the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus, it appears that Samsung intends to keep the 256GB models' pricing consistent with last year, which should encourage customers to upgrade because they will be charged the same amount as they were previously for the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus. The Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus are believed to be KRW 22,000 ($18.5) more costly for the 512GB variants, which is a negligible sum.

However, keep in mind that these speculated prices only apply to South Korea; in the United States and other locations, changing currency rates may require users to spend more or less for each model. Overall, the Galaxy S24 Plus may gain popularity this year because, according to an earlier specifications leak, this “middle of the pack” flagship will have a slightly larger display than the Galaxy S23 Plus and the same 12GB LPDDR5X RAM count as the Galaxy S24 Ultra while being less expensive.
