The Galaxy S24 phones were released withAndroid 14 with Samsung'sOne UI 6.1 user experience. Samsung has promised 7 years of security patches and OS upgrades.[22]
All phones use Google's on-deviceGemini Nano, already used by their ownPixel 8 Pro[23] and theirPixel 9 series.
Starting with the Galaxy S24 and all future Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets, 32-bit applications are no longer supported. Devices that were released prior to the Galaxy S24 will continue to support 32-bit apps.[24]
Some users noted the unpleasant smell of the Galaxy S24 Ultra'sS Pen, likened to "burnt plastic". A moderator on Samsung's EU forums said the smell was a normal part of the pen's operation, and "isn't anything to be concerned about".[25][26]
This smell is likely from chemical reactions to the plastic shell of the S Pen, induced by the internal heat of the phone.[27]
