A Look at the Variants and Features
Diving deeper into the FCC listings, it is clear that Samsung is gearing up for a segmented rollout strategy. While the S24 and S24+ are set to excite US users with Snapdragon's latest, the Ultra variant will spread its technological wings globally with the same firepower.

Amidst the excitement, some elements might ring familiar to Samsung fans. Reports hint at charging speeds reminiscent of the previous flagship trio, maintaining 25W for the S24 and 45W for the Plus and Ultra variants.
Camera fans will be enthusiastic about the anticipated continuity of the S24 Ultra's 200MP sensor, though with a keen focus on optimizing performance for new hardware.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3's Efficiency Woes
However, amidst the buzz, concerns loom over Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. Early tests reveal a trade-off between performance and efficiency, with increased power consumption raising eyebrows (via GizChina).
Critics caution that the chipset exhibits efficiency woes in standardized benchmarks, especially when compared to its predecessor, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
The concern primarily revolves around a higher power consumption per watt, sparking debates about potential optimizations from different Android OEMs.
What's Next?
As the stage is set for Samsung's grand revelation, all eyes remain fixated on San Jose, eagerly awaiting the curtains to rise on the Galaxy S24 Series, a potential game-changer in the ever-evolving world of smartphones.
