Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra price predictions: here’s what to expect to pay

Samsung’s biggest phones tend to come with the largest price tags, and we don’t expect that narrative to change with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. 

Rumored to be arriving in January, we’ve not got long to wait before we get to see the new Samsung Galaxy S24 series with the Ultra leading the pack. And as a result, the rumors are coming thick and fast. 

However, there’s not a huge selection of leaks and rumor tidbits to give us a particularly clear idea of how much the Galaxy S24 Ultra could cost. But through using those rumors and our own speculation based on our experience and the historical prices of the S-series Galaxy phones, we can take a decent stab at figuring out how much the Galaxy S24 Ultra might set back prospective buyers.

The latest rumors claim the entire Galaxy S24 range’s price will match that of the Galaxy S23. If that is indeed an accurate tip, and the fact that it comes rather near to the tipped launch time of the Galaxy S24 series would suggest it is, the Galaxy S24 Ultra could cost the same as the Galaxy S23 Ultra. 

So that means the Galaxy S24 Ultra will likely start at $1,199 / £1,249 / AU$1,949, for what’s expected to be a model with a base configuration of 256GB of storage and 8GB of RAM. That price rises to $1,379 / £1,399 / AU$2,249 for a likely 512GB model with 12GB of RAM. And for a top-end 1TB Galaxy S24 Ultra with 12GB of RAM, we’d expect a price of $1,619 / £1,599 / AU$2,649.

There is talk of a 2TB Galaxy S24 Ultra option, which would likely push the price even higher. There have been no hints of pricing for such a model, but we could expect it to get close to the cost of a high-end Galaxy Z Fold 5. 

One rumor has the Galaxy S24 Ultra set to cost more than its predecessor, but the tipster didn’t detail how much. We’d be somewhat skeptical of such a rumor as the Galaxy Ultra phones are priced competitively against the likes of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, so we’d be very surprised if Samsung upped the price of its next flagship phone and risked making it less appealing in the face of competition from other brands on our best phones list. 

In short, expect the Galaxy S24 Ultra to be far from cheap but arguably well-priced for a phone that should offer compelling specs, new camera options, a decent dose of AI smarts, and is worth waiting for. 

Of course, the arrival of a new series of Galaxy S phones means the Galaxy S23 models are likely to get a decent price drop. So if you’re not too fussed about the latest specs and high-end power, you could score a great Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra deal come mid-way through January 2024.

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...

TechRadar's Year in Review: AI revolution, smartphone evolution, and visions of the future

If I had to sum up 2023 in one word it would be AI. Okay, technically that’s two initials, but let’s not quibble – because there’s no doubt that it provided the year in tech with its main story arc. Artificial intelligence was everywhere this year, as every company in the world gawped at the massive impact of ChatGPT, and decided they wanted to jump aboard that bandwagon. You could barely move for new chatbots, new image generators, and new AI-enhanced features in every device released in 2023. And there’s no sign of that changing in 2024; in fact, we expect it to be an even bigger deal. Elsewhere, phones and laptops did much the same as they had the previous year – well, except where they had new AI-enhanced features – so it was in the virtual reality space where bigger changes were afoot. If the Meta Quest 3 was impressive then the Apple Vision Pro looks to be genuinely game-changing, and we can’t wait to see what impact it has in the next 12 months. Of course we also saw plenty ...

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...
