Early rumors about Samsung‘s upcoming Galaxy A24 suggested the phone will be a massive downgrade over its predecessor, the Galaxy A23. We were told that the new mid-range smartphone will come with an outdated processor, a smaller battery, and more downgrades from the 2022 model. Some of the claims were so wild that we genuinely doubted their authenticity. Looks like our doubts weren’t unfounded. A more reliable source recently shared some specs of the Galaxy A24 and they instantly feel accurate.
According to reputed Samsung insiders at GalaxyClub, the Galaxy A24 will retain the 5,000mAh battery from its predecessor, with 25W fast charging support. The previous rumor mentioned a laughable 4,000mAh power unit with 15W fast charging in this mid-range phone. The new device will also retain the 50MP primary camera at the back, unlike what we heard before (48MP). It will be flanked by a 5MP ultrawide lens and possibly a 2MP macro camera, The Galaxy A24 doesn’t have a depth sensor. Samsung is removing it from its entire mid-range lineup this year.
On the front, the Galaxy A24 upgrades to a 13MP selfie shooter from an 8MP unit. Once again, it differs from the previous rumor of a 16MP selfie camera. While that is all we have for now, the earlier claim of the phone featuring the Exynos 7904 chipset should be incorrect. This is an outdated processor that isn’t fit for a 2024 mid-range smartphone. We should get to hear more about the device in the coming weeks as Samsung prepares for its launch. The Galaxy A23 debuted in March last year. We expect the Galaxy A24 to arrive around the same time this year.
The Galaxy A24 may not get a successor next year
Samsung may have yet to launch the Galaxy A24, but rumors about its successor are already here. And the very first rumor is that there will be no successor at all. Yes, the Korean firm reportedly doesn’t plan to launch a Galaxy A25 next year. The upcoming device will be the last in the Galaxy A2x series.
If true, this would further trim Samsung’s Galaxy A lineup. Since revamping its low-cost smartphone portfolio in 2019, the company has gone on to discontinue the Galaxy A9x, Galaxy A8x, and Galaxy A4x series. It is also said to stop making Galaxy A7x phones this year. Rumors have it that there will be no Galaxy A74. Samsung seems to be streamlining its mid-range smartphone portfolio to focus on quality improvements. We will let you know as soon as we have confirmation about these rumors.
