Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Gets BIS Certified
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has cleared the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certifications with the model number SM-S928B/DS. This means that Samsung is gearing up to launch the device in India (unsurprisingly), alongside the global debut.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chipset, which is an overclocked variant of the regular Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. The device had earlier visited the Geekbench platform and scored on par with other Android flagships featuring Qualcomm’s latest flagship chip.
As per previous reports, Samsung is expected to offer the Galaxy S24 Ultra exclusively with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, without any Exynos variant. The company will however continue to offer Exynos 2400 on the Galaxy S24 and the Galaxy S24+.
Rumours suggest that Samsung is preparing to launch the Galaxy S24 Ultra with a titanium frame. If it is true, then the Samsung flagship could become the first widely available Android device with titanium, as the Xiaomi 14 Pro Titanium Edition is still exclusive to China.
Other than the build material, the overall design of the Galaxy S24 Ultra is expected to be similar to its predecessor. Samsung may continue using the quad rear camera setup with slight upgrades while retaining all the bells and whistles of the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Leaked renders of the Galaxy S24 base model and the Galaxy S24 Ultra also suggest that Samsung is not looking for a major design overhaul with its upcoming flagship. It is an interesting time for the smartphone market as Apple, which is known to recycle designs extensively has given a new look to the iPhone 15, while Samsung is building over the legacy of its two-year-old flagship.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Series Expected Launch Date in India
