1. New chipset: The Galaxy S24 line is now equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 

2. Larger screen sizes: The Galaxy S24 and S24+ now have 6.2-inch and 6.7-inch displays, a step up from 6.1-inch and 6.6-inch panels. 
   

3. Better displays.The Galaxy S24+ now supports the same QHD+ resolution found on Galaxy S24 Ultra. And this time, all three phones have adaptive refresh rates between 1Hz and 120Hz, which should improve energy efficiency. 

4. Galaxy S24 Ultra is lighter and thinner, thanks to its new titanium frame. Plus it’s brighter, too, boasting a peak brightness of 2,600 nits.

5. Upgraded Nightography:Pictures and videos shot on the Galaxy S24’s Space Zoom are reportedly enhanced, particularly when you’re taking close-up shots. The Galaxy S24 Ultra boasts better low-light photos, too, thanks to a pixel size increase of 60% compared to its predecessor.

Across the entire line, you’ll find slimmer and more even bezels, Samsung said, making the viewing experience more immersive for all three phones.
