Samsung recently announced that its next Unpacked event will begin on January 17, when the company is expected to reveal the new Galaxy S24 line. As usual, the company also simultaneously opened “reservations” for pre-orders of its upcoming Galaxy device, giving you $50 in credit after providing your name and email address. on the Samsung website.
There are a couple of caveats to keep in mind, though: First, you'll need to pre-order using the same email address after the devices are announced on January 17. After that, you'll need to move forward with the purchase, so make sure you have your credit card handy.
You also cannot use the $50 credit after making your purchase. Instead, the credit can only be used at the same time you purchase your reserved device and no, you cannot use it to offset the cost of the phone. Instead, you can only use the credit for other eligible products in the Samsung online store. Samsung has yet to specify which ones exactly, but historically, people have been able to use the credit for Samsung wireless headphones and accessories, like smartphone cases.
We cannot say with certainty what new features the S24 line will have. However, rumors suggest that it will come equipped with the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chips with in-device ai acceleration, while the S24 Ultra could have a titanium build similar to the iPhone 15 Pro, an upgraded 50MP 5x telephoto camera, and 4K at 120 fps. recording.
