Since 2011, the coming of a new Galaxy S flagship marks the release of a new ringtone. Every year, Samsung reinterprets the iconic “Over the Horizon” musical theme, and needless to say, the latest Galaxy S24 series brings us a new iconic ringtone for 2024.

Samsung's new Over the Horizon is now available on YouTube. The company says this year's ringtone embraces the “Sound from Nature” theme and expresses a harmonious moment when tradition and modernity meet.

A completely different vibe

Over the Horizon 2024 is an orchestral piece featuring the Seoul National University Gugak Orchestra led by music director Won Il, who oversaw the music at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. Check out the Galaxy S24 ringtone below.
