Surprisingly, the S24, Samsung's upcoming flagship phone, appeared on Walmart's listing. Whether this was a deliberate move or an accidental slip remains uncertain, but the listing has since been removed, leaving behind a trail of details captured by various sources. Here's what has been uncovered.
Improved Design, Memory, and Camera
The design showcased in the listing portrayed the phone in an Onyx Black finish, resembling the Galaxy S23 Plus at the back. However, discernible differences set the upcoming model apart. If the details of the now-deleted ad are accurate, the display size on the forthcoming model is set to increase from 6.6 inches to 6.7 inches.
According to Forbes, the S23 Plus houses 8 GB of RAM, while the next more premium model is anticipated to have 12 GB. This comes with new generative AI features, a growing trend these days.
Among these features is Live Translate, which enables real-time language translation directly within the Samsung Phone app. Another intriguing addition is Generative Edit, which can manipulate or eliminate objects in photos while filling in empty spaces. However, this function requires an internet connection, implying that advanced features might rely on online processing rather than on-device.
The ad also highlights new camera capabilities, such as Nightography. This aims to illuminate nighttime scenes while having a higher resolution. According to Notebook Check, this new feature also emphasizes the ability to capture life's moments in vivid, true-to-life color with its 50MP camera.
Next-Gen Samsung Phone
While the complete and official details are yet to unfold, Samsung appears to be developing a new phone with a familiar aesthetic, a larger and brighter display, performance improvements, and enhancements geared toward enabling next-generation features.
Despite the Walmart listing disappearing, further leaks and reports are expected to surface leading up to the anticipated release of the S24 series in January 2024.
