(SPOT.ph) There are just things in life that we stay up all night for: school work, potential relationships, OT pay, and, for avid users of Samsung products and tech enthusiasts in the Philippines, the bi-annual Galaxy Unpacked event, i.e. the time of the year when the South Korean tech giant releases the latest of its tech and gadgets such as smartphones, tablets, and other wearables. Compared to last year, we’re unpacking (pun intended) a few days early, January 18—though still at 2 a.m. Philippine time. Granted, you were far too busy or sleepy to go through all that, but don’t worry, the SPOT.ph team will lay it all for you.

Galaxy Unpacked unveiled the new Samsung S24 series.
Mobile AI takes the front seat in the latest iteration of Samsung’s world-famous smartphone lineup—the Galaxy S Series—from intelligent text, call, and live translations to image-enhancing features.
“The Galaxy S24 Series transforms our connection with the world and ignites the next decade of mobile innovation,” says TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “Galaxy AI is built on our innovation heritage and deep understanding of how people use their phones. We’re excited to see how our users around the world empower their everyday lives with Galaxy AI to open up new possibilities.”
First off, display on the new series is slightly bigger. From the S23 and S23+’s 6.1" and 6.6" displays, respectively, to the S24 and S24+’s 6.2” and 6.7”. The S24 Ultra, on the other hand, has 6.8”—all optimized not just for viewing but also for productivity. The build doesn’t stray far—if at all—from its predecessors. The S24 and S4+ have an Exynos 2400 for Galaxy for its processor while the S24 Ultra is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform for Galaxy.
The available colors are Titanium Gray, Titanium Black, Titanium Violet, and Titanium Yellow. There are online-exclusive colors as well: Titanium Blue, Titanium Green, and Titanium Orange.
You know that the Galaxy S Series doesn’t play when it comes to capturing photos and videos. Just look at the 12-megapixel on the S24 Series’ Ultra-Wide Camera. The S24 Ultra, to be exact, has a Quad Tele System with up to 5 times optical zoom lens with a 50MP sensor that allows quality pictures, zoomed in or not—even in sharing. The S24 Ultra is packed with 5000 mAh battery life while the S24 and the S24+ have 4,000 mAh and 4,900 mAh respectively.
Now that those important specs are out of the way, we’re putting the spotlight on some of the epic features the new lineup has, starting from the Live Translate and Interpreter. We know you have many travel plans to different parts of the country—some of which do not have English as their first language—so two-way, real-time voice and text translations of phone calls within the native, on-device AI would be a total lifesaver. The Interpreter is a split-screen app where live conversations can be translated in an instant. It works even without data or WiFi. We have yet to see our over 100 native languages in.
The Galaxy S24 Series is also the first phone to debut Circle to Search in collaboration with Google. A long press of the home button allows its users to circle, highlight, scribble on, or tap on the screen to see search results. Galaxy AI editing tools a.k.a the ProVisual Engine with Edit Suggestion or Generative Edit, on the other hand, can help you erase, recompose, and remaster great photos.
