Samsung has officially unpacked the Galaxy S24 family, comprising a base model, the Galaxy S24 Plus, and the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The Galaxy S24 Ultra comes with a 6.8-inch 1440p display, a new titanium finish, numerous AI tools, and a higher starting price: $1,299. The S24 lineup is loaded with local and cloud-based AI features and is running Google’s Gemini foundational models on-device. Plus, a couple of new features are coming to Google Search, starting with the self-explanatory Circle to Search — but only on a handful of Android phones. Here’s everything you missed.

00:00 Hello everyone, you will be able to use Galaxy devices safely and reliably for longer.
00:10 Because we plan to support 7 years of security updates and 7 generations of OS upgrades starting with Galaxy S24 series.
00:27 Welcome to your Eureka moment.
00:31 When you make or receive a call in a language you don't speak, the Galaxy S24 series can provide live translations of your call both verbally and on screen right away.
00:44 Hello, can I make a reservation for tomorrow at 7pm?
00:53 Hello, can I make a reservation for tomorrow at 7pm?
00:58 Of course, for how many people?
01:05 Table for two, please.
01:07 The Galaxy S24 series offers real-time two-way call translations within the native call app.
01:14 It will support audio and text translations for up to 13 languages at launch.
01:19 And it all happens right there on the device, keeping your phone calls private.
01:24 It will even remember your language settings and what language each contact speaks.
01:29 These translations work in person too. Galaxy S24 can act as your personal interpreter.
01:35 Excuse me, I'm looking for the palace. Can you tell me how to get there?
01:40 Excuse me, I'm looking for the palace. Can you tell me how to get there?
01:51 Walk about two blocks in that direction and turn left.
01:55 In the past, we used to only message in English, but now with Chat Assist, we can communicate in Spanish too.
02:03 Let me show you how it works.
02:05 See? When you use Chat Assist, it detects the language and translates the message.
02:11 And when I type my message in English, it translates what I wrote into Spanish.
02:21 It can also help us communicate better in our own languages too.
02:25 You can select different styles of conversations on Google Messages.
02:29 So, when you're writing a casual message to a friend, you can choose a chill or excited tone.
02:34 For work, you can choose to be more formal.
02:37 There's even a Shakespearean tone when you're feeling a little whimsical.
02:42 And this all happens on-device on the Galaxy S24 series.
02:47 Thanks to Google's most efficient AI model built for on-device tasks, Gemini Nano.
02:53 And now, with Photo Emoji on Google Messages, you can turn your photos into stickers and reactions,
03:00 opening up whole new ways to express yourself.
03:03 You can also make tone changes to your notes, chats, and social media using the Samsung keyboard.
03:09 With the power of AI, you'll be able to set Android Auto to automatically summarize your group messages,
03:16 so you can keep in touch while staying focused on the road.
03:20 Android Auto will also suggest relevant replies and actions you can take without touching your phone.
03:26 So, if you're on your way to meet a friend and they send you a new location, no problem.
03:31 With a single tap, you'll be able to navigate to a destination you just received via text.
03:37 The native voice recorder app on our Galaxy devices has had speech-to-text available in different languages.
03:45 Now, instead of creating a basic transcript, Galaxy AI can distinguish between different speaking voices,
03:53 and will even create a short and sweet summary of what was said.
03:58 Sometimes, my handwriting can be messy or slanted, even when I use my S Pen.
04:03 But Samsung Notes can clean that up in a snap.
04:08 And now, with Note Assist, it's so easy to organize my thoughts.
04:14 I can tidy things up by adding a bit of structure, like headings and bullets, to my notes.
04:20 Just like that.
04:22 [applause]
04:24 And I can even select from different styles.
04:34 I can summarize all my notes into just a few key bullet points.
04:39 I'll show you how.
04:45 See how simple that was?
04:47 I'm thrilled to unveil Circle to Search, a new way to search anything on your Android phone
04:55 using a simple gesture without switching apps.
05:00 You can now circle, highlight, scribble, or tap whatever you're curious about on your screen to learn more.
05:10 But now, just long-press the Home button to invoke Circle to Search.
05:16 And from there, you can select any item.
05:19 So I can circle the corn dog and ask a question, like, "Why are these so popular?"
05:25 And I quickly learn that these treats are Korean corn dogs.
05:29 And they're trending because they feature a unique combination of flavors and textures.
05:34 Circle to Search will be available across all three models of the Galaxy S24 series.
05:41 So, with the Galaxy S24 series, making decisions about your data is in your hands.
05:47 Under Advanced Intelligence Settings, you can decide whether you want to allow online processing and full functionality of AI.
05:56 In addition, the Security and Privacy dashboard allows you to easily understand which apps recently accessed your location data or camera,
06:05 and you can remove access with just a tap.
06:08 With Knox Matrix, Samsung Cloud securely syncs and backs up your data and settings across your Galaxy devices using end-to-end encryption.
06:19 Galaxy S24 Ultra will maximize your creative freedom with a wide-ranging suite of AI tools powered by an all-new ProVisual Engine.
06:30 With the Galaxy S24's Nitrography and Space Zoom, we were able to zoom in to see TXT as if we were in the front row.
06:40 Galaxy S24 Ultra comes with a quad telecamera system, including a new 5X optical lens and a 50-megapixel sensor,
06:49 so you can take high-quality videos and photos from afar.
06:54 And pixels are now 1.6 times larger than before, allowing them to capture more light for brighter and clearer output.
07:02 The telecamera on the Galaxy S24 Ultra now has a wider OIS correction angle to increase the steadiness of your footage,
07:10 even if you're zooming in from far away.
07:12 The AI image signal processing of the ProVisual Engine works with the new 5X optical lens to capture vivid, social media-ready portraits, even from a distance.
07:23 Our native camera experiences like Nitrography, Super HDR, and Video Stabilization are now available through social in-app cameras for Instagram and Snapchat.
07:38 The Galaxy S24 series will be the first ever to have HDR enabled for photos on Instagram.
07:46 ProVisual Engine doesn't just help you get the shot, it also simplifies photo editing.
07:51 When you're viewing photos in your gallery, your Galaxy S24 will automatically suggest editing options, like here.
08:01 Do you see how this picture captured the reflection and glare from the harsh overhead lighting?
08:07 Edit Suggestion is recommending that we fix that.
08:11 With a quick press of this button, ProVisual Engine helps us to remove the reflection and glare as if they were never there.
08:19 And Generative AI opens up the possibilities of what you can create.
08:23 Exponentially, you can realign photos and still create epic shots by magically filling the void.
08:31 You can also move an object or person and generate a perfectly blended background where the subject used to be.
08:40 With every generated image, we'll be adding a watermark to the image and a label in the metadata.
08:47 [APPLAUSE]
08:51 With the ProVisual Engine, you can turn high-resolution videos into slow motion with a simple long press.
09:00 It will analyze each frame of the video and add AI-generated images in between frames, allowing you to watch your videos in slow motion.
09:12 So we are excited to have partnered with Google to make Quick Share the single-share solution across all Android devices.
09:21 So now Android users will be able to file share across more devices and even Windows PCs.
09:30 We've also improved the CPU and GPU significantly, which enables seamless multitasking and video editing.
09:39 So now, when you game, you'll experience true-to-life lighting, reflections, and shadows, making the gaming experience feel realer than ever.
09:49 The Galaxy S24 series features a redesigned structure with a pop-up tim, a liquid-type tim, and wider vapor chamber around the AP to disperse heat efficiently and in two directions.
10:03 Couple that with a long-lasting battery, and now you'll be able to enjoy even more gameplay.
10:09 The entire Galaxy S24 series features screens with a peak brightness of 2,600 nits.
10:18 And Galaxy S24 and S24+ bring a one-mass design that seamlessly combines the display with a durable armor aluminum frame.
10:28 Gender-neutral colors inspired by nature, our Galaxy S24 series redefines durability and style.
10:38 The Galaxy experience is designed to empower you while seamlessly fitting into your lifestyle.
10:45 And now, with the incredible power of Galaxy AI, the Galaxy experience is reaching new heights with all new ways to connect, create, and play.
10:56 The Galaxy S24 series will be available for pre-order starting today.
11:02 Pricing starts at $799, with the S24+ at $999, and S24 Ultra at $1,299.
11:14 Galaxy S23 FE is available from $599, and S23 will be available from $699 in the U.S.
11:23 We plan to roll out Galaxy AI experiences that we introduced today to select Galaxy devices in the first half of this year.
11:32 We've created a powerful and accessible health and wellness device here to change the shape of future health like only Samsung can.
11:44 Meet the Galaxy Ring.
11:48 This is just the beginning, and we can't wait for you to try it yourself.
11:53 Thank you so much for being a part of Unpacked.
