Samsung plans to increase Galaxy S24 series production

Next year, Samsung is set to unveil its Galaxy S24 series of smartphones, encompassing the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra models. Of late, Samsung has commenced the preliminary undertakings for the production of the Galaxy S24 series, priming itself for the debut early in the coming year.

As reported by DigiTimes, Samsung has etched out an embryonic production blueprint for the Galaxy S24 series, estimating a volume of around 30 million units. The Galaxy S24 Ultra is slated to account for half of this production, standing at 15 million units, while both the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ are pegged at 7.5 million units apiece. In comparison to the Galaxy S23 series’ 27-28 million units, this figure marks an uptick of approximately 10%.

The Galaxy S23 series, with its commendable reputation and robust sales, especially the roaring success of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, has ostensibly bolstered Samsung’s confidence, fostering heightened aspirations for the impending Galaxy S24 series. According to market research entities, the Galaxy S23 series witnessed sales of 18.6 million units in the six months post its launch—a notable 23% surge compared to the 15.1 million units of the Galaxy S22 series sold within a similar timeframe.

It’s understood that this year, Samsung plans to embark upon mass production of the Galaxy S24 series components as early as November—a month ahead when juxtaposed with last year’s Galaxy S23 series timeline. Analysts speculate that Samsung’s strategy stems partly from ensuring a steady stockpile and partly, perhaps, a tactical maneuver to counterbalance Apple by launching its novelties sooner.

Whispers in the industry corridors suggest that the Galaxy S24 series will feature augmented memory configurations. The Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ are anticipated to be outfitted with 12GB of RAM, whereas the Galaxy S24 Ultra might boast a staggering 16GB. Furthermore, there’s buzz about Samsung’s inclination to resurrect its dual-platform strategy, with tests being conducted on the Exynos 2400 for both the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ models. For future releases targeting the Southeast Asian market, it is believed that Samsung might eschew Qualcomm’s third-generation Snapdragon 8 platform in favor of their own.
