Fresh from announcing the Samsung Galaxy A34 and Galaxy A54, both respectively targeting the lower midrange and upper midrange categories, Samsung has now turned its attention to the upper end of the entry-level market with the Galaxy A24.
Just like its more expensive siblings, the renders of the Galaxy A24 carry the same design cues borrowed from the flagship Galaxy S23 series, released in early February. At the back, you get three cameras inside individual circular cutouts, just like in the flagships. On the front, however, the Galaxy A24 has an Infinity-U display notch similar to the one in the Galaxy A34, whereas the Galaxy A54 has a more modern Infinity-O cutout.
The Full HD+ Super AMOLED screen will support a respectable 90 Hz refresh rate and a maximum peak brightness of 1,000 nits. On the internals, the MediaTek Helio G99 chipset paired with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage is expected to be the standard combination. Other variants with more RAM and storage should be expected. Furthermore, there is a dedicated microSD slot should you wish for more storage.
The triple camera system at the back consists of a 50 MP main sensor with OIS and f/1.8 aperture, a 5 MP sensor for ultrawide shots and a 2 MP sensor for your macro shots. The selfie camera at the front is made up of a single 13 MP sensor.
Charging and battery for the Galaxy A24 are what has become the norm for an affordable Samsung device, a 5,000 mAh brick that can handle 25 W charging. This is relatively fast, but other manufacturers in this price range are offering significantly faster charging speeds.
Other niceties the Galaxy A24 offers are a 3.5 mm headphone jack which is becoming rarer with each passing day and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. The colours available from the renders are black, silver, mint green and burgundy red, whether there will be more at launch is impossible to tell at this point. Sitting between the Galaxy A14 and the Galaxy A34, the Galaxy A24 should carry a retail price of between Ksh 30,000 and Ksh 40,000 at the higher end.
