It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which promises the best performance of all Android processors and now has lots of AI capabilities. The smartphone has a 24GB RAM variant in China, but it remains to be seen whether OnePlus will launch this variant globally.

The phone is expected to come with a flat screen instead of the curved panel on the S23 Ultra, which could mean that it's less prone to accidental damage.
Other than that, the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset or the Exynos 2400 chipset should power this phone. With the OneUI 6 on the S24 Ultra, you will also get many customization options that will be imbibed in the OS. The Galaxy S24 series is confirmed to launch on January 17, 2024.
4) Vivo X100 Pro
