Samsung has left out many bits of information about new Galaxy S24 features during its presentation at Unpacked. Although the company touched on the main new additions and changes, some upgrades went unmentioned.

To us, experiencing the Galaxy S24 series felt a bit like mining for gold and occasionally finding new valuable nuggets. As we continued spending more time with these phones, we found numerous new Galaxy S24 features that Samsung didn't disclose at Unpacked 2024 and in press releases.

We compiled ten of these best hidden upgrades in a new video, which you can watch below.

Some features mentioned in the video above are exclusive to the Galaxy S24 Ultra, while others are available across the entire S24 range of devices, including the base and Plus models.

Many hidden upgrades deserve more time in the spotlight

We recommend watching our video for a much more in-depth look at all these hidden features and how exactly they improve the experience for Galaxy S24 users. But for a quick overview of what you might expect, here's a quick list containing our findings:

Anti-reflective Gorilla Glass Armor.
Better audio.
Wider side buttons.
Audio monitoring for video recording.
Improved 4K 120Hz video recording.
A new 24MP mode in Expert Mode.
Dual Video improves upon Director's View.
Auto Framing improvements.
Photo Ambient Wallpaper.
Clever AOD (Always On Display) features.

As you might know, the Galaxy S24 series is now available for purchase worldwide. The pre-order window is closed, so there are no more free storage upgrades. Regardless, the new flagships are stellar, and we can't wait to share more with you. Stay tuned for more Galaxy S24 videos and our upcoming reviews.

In his free time, he enjoys watching shows, documentaries, and stand-up comedy; listening to music, taking walks, and occasionally playing old(er) video games.
