Samsung Galaxy S24 leak points to three models and Ultra camera upgrade

The Samsung Galaxy S24 series of flagship phones should be arriving early next year – and a new leak has emerged suggesting that we'll get the usual three models in the range, as well as pointing to a camera upgrade for the most expensive Ultra model.

This comes from the teams at SamMobile and GalaxyClub, who have found evidence of a 'Muse3' codename for the Galaxy S24 Ultra. We're always interested to find out about internal codenames, and in this case it seems likely that Muse1 and Muse2 exist, too.

There had been a few whispers that the Plus model wouldn't make an appearance next year, but these codenames suggest otherwise – so we will get sequels to the Samsung Galaxy S23, the Galaxy S23 Plus, and the Galaxy S23 Ultra (that series was codenamed 'Diamond', by the way).

If you're keen to learn what older codenames have been, we had 'Hubble' for the Galaxy S20, 'Unbound' for the Galaxy S21, and 'Rainbow' for the Samsung Galaxy S22. These names can be useful in spotting patterns and interpreting leaks for future devices.

Rumored camera upgrades

We have one more tidbit of information here, which is that the Ultra will get a telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. We're assuming that will be an upgrade on the 10MP, 3x optical zoom camera that makes up the rear module on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

The Galaxy S23 Ultra also packs in a 10MP camera with 10x optical zoom, a 200MP main camera, and a 12MP ultrawide camera. Previous leaks have reported that the Ultra model in the S24 range isn't going to get much of an upgrade over that configuration.

What we will see, most likely, is an internal upgrade to the processor, with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 set to take center stage. Other rumors swirling around about these three phones suggest that we're going to get exactly the same screen sizes as we got on this year's models, and that very little is going to change in terms of overall design.

The Galaxy S23 models launched in February 2023, so the Galaxy S24 successors should be about 12 months after that – January or February 2024. Before that, we're expecting a Samsung Unpacked event at the end of July, featuring a host of new tech.

The latest Apple TV 4K test lets you watch four sports streams at once

Apple is trying something new with the latest beta version of tvOS 16.5: the option to watch up to four simultaneous streams at once. Right now it's limited to live sports streamed through the Apple TV app on the Apple TV 4K , specifically MLB Friday Night Baseball and the MLS Season Pass. A multi-view option was spotted in the tvOS software last month, but the code was hidden and not enabled. MacRumors reported that the feature would be enabled this weekend, and beta testers have since been able to use it. As yet multi-view hasn't been officially announced by Apple, but it's expected that tvOS 16.5 is going to be pushed out in its final form within the next month or so. WWDC 2023 is around the corner as well, when we should be hearing about the next major updates for Apple's various operating systems – including tvOS 17. How it works Over at 9to5Mac there's a hands-on demonstrating how the multi-view feature works, and it's pretty much as you would expe...

Quantum computers are fast becoming cheaper and smaller — and they could be coming to a data center near you very soon

IonQ claims we’re closer to widespread enterprise quantum computing deployment as it lifted the lid on two rack-mounted models that can be deployed on-premises.   The startup has built the fourth-generation #AQ35 IonQ Forte Enterprise and fifth-generation #AQ64 IonQ Tempo, both of which are designed to be deployed in enterprise and government data centers. It’s also said it is deploying two quantum computers to the US Air Force.  While revealing these two models, IonQ co-founder and CTO Jungsang Kim said quantum computers are already in use by enterprises to churn through machine learning workloads. This, he added, suggests we’re much closer to readily available and affordable machines. Priming enterprises for a quantum future “We believe in the enterprise-grade quantum computing, which is where it can be something of value for enterprises, can happen in the next few years as we build powerful enough quantum computers that can actually do things that classical computers w...

Nvidia RTX 4080 GPU could get cheaper with a new version – but don’t get your hopes up

Nvidia’s RTX 4080 is purportedly getting a new spin on the GPU which could reduce the cost, but any price reduction will likely be very minor, sadly, if it happens at all. Tom’s Hardware flagged up this rumor – and treat it with caution, as with anything from the ever-spinning mill – that originated from HKEPC (a tech site in Hong Kong), claiming that while the current RTX 4080 graphics card is built on the AD103-300 chip, Nvidia is going to use a slightly different GPU in the future, namely AD103-301. There’s now more evidence this is actually happening, Tom’s points out, courtesy of a graphics card maker, Galax, which under its RTX 4080 product details lists the GPU as ‘AD103-300/301’. Furthermore, VideoCardz , which also picked up on this, informs us that Gainward, another card maker, has also listed the updated GPU variant AD103-301 in its product specs. With two separate third-party graphics card makers mentioning this new spin on the GPU in their specs, it seems pret...
