A hands-on video of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra was released the day before Galaxy Unpacked.

Update See all the big news from the Samsung Unpacked 2024 event in our Samsung Galaxy S24 announcement live blog.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra was just unveiled the day before we expect it to be confirmed in a new pre-announcement unboxing video.

The video was posted on a now-deleted X/Twitter post from tasty orange and a similarly vanished TikTok video from syhtele_Samsung. Fortunately, the screenshots taken by Phone Arena and the re-upload of the video by Zahar Mobile Review mean we can still check out the clip, and hope you can too, unless Samsung takes these down as well We hope you can too, unless Samsung takes these down as well.

We see a total of 3 Galaxy S24 Ultra in what we label as Titanium Gray, Titanium Yellow and Titanium Violet in the video. There should also be a Titanium Black model, according to previous leaks, but that is nowhere to be found.

The titanium part of the color name may indicate that the Galaxy S24 Ultra will feature a titanium frame for the first time, as rumors have suggested. Also visible in the background are a yellow Galaxy S24 and a purple Galaxy S24 Plus, but these are expected to stick to Samsung's usual aluminum frame.

We don't get much of a display other than seeing the Samsung Galaxy splash screen pop up. However, leaks so far indicate that the Galaxy S24 Ultra should feature a 6.8-inch OLED panel with QHD resolution and an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate. But there will be other notable tweaks, including a flatter display, narrower bezels, new tempered glass called Gorilla Glass Armor, and higher peak brightness than before.

The four cameras on the back of the S24 Ultra device appear to be the same as on the Galaxy S23 Ultra, but the 10MP 10x camera should be replaced by a 50MP 5x camera on the S24 Ultra. The optical zoom will be lower, but the resolution will be higher, and hopefully Samsung will be able to make up the difference with lossless digital zoom.

Galaxy Unpacked is tomorrow if you want to hear about all the new features from Samsung itself. But if you're impatient, you can find basically all the important details in our Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Ultra hub, thanks to months' worth of leaks already. This includes key features of the S24 like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset that should run everything, and the new phones' AI-powered software features like live translation and one-tap photo editing.
