The drumbeat of the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event grows louder, and with it, whispers of pricing solidify into murmurs of potential sticker shock. While the base Galaxy S24 and S24+ may hold steady in the cost department, rumors suggest the Ultra model is prepping for a price leap across all configurations.

Ultra Aspirations, Ultra Costs?

The base 256GB Ultra could set you back KRW 1,698,400 (~Rs. 1,08,000), while the 512GB variant aims for KRW 1,841,400 (~Rs. 1,17,100) - a noticeable bump compared to their predecessors.

Mid-Tier Maneuvers:

The Galaxy S24+ pricing seems to dance a delicate tango. The 256GB base stays put at KRW 1,353,000 (~Rs. 86,000), but the 512GB variant waltzes up to KRW 1,496,000 (~Rs. 95,000).

Vanilla's Varied Verdict:

The baseline S24 remains relatively conservative at KRW 1,155,000 (~Rs. 73,000) for 256GB, but the 512GB option struts to KRW 1,298,000 (~Rs. 82,000) - eclipsing last year's 512GB S23.

512GB Price Tags Climb Higher:

The 512GB variants across the S24 and S24+ seem to collectively agree on a KRW 22,000 (~Rs. 1,300) price hike compared to their 2023 counterparts.

Mark Your Calendars and Your Budgets:

The official unveiling takes place on January 17th at 11.30PM IST (1.00PM EST), with pre-reservations already open in India. So, get ready to witness the arrival of the S24 series and decide whether your wallet can handle the Ultra's potential price premium.

Tech Specs in a Nutshell:

  • Android 14-based One UI 6.1 graces the entire lineup.
  • AMOLED LTPO displays dance with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate.
  • The Ultra possibly flaunts a 200MP quad camera, while the S24 and S24+ stick to 50MP triple-camera setups.
  • Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC for Galaxy powers the Ultra and S24+, while the S24 might choose between Snapdragon or Exynos depending on your region.

Pricing uncertainties simmer as anticipation boils. Will the S24 series be worth the potential wallet-squeezing Ultra price hike? Tune in on January 17th to find out!
