Samsung has confirmed that it will be launching a new variant of the Galaxy S24 smartphone in India, this time equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy processor. The original Galaxy S24, introduced in India last year, featured the Exynos 2400 chipset. While Snapdragon-powered versions of the phone were made available in select global markets, they were not offered in India at launch.

 

While Samsung has not shared the exact launch date for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 version of the Galaxy S24, the company has confirmed that it will arrive in India before the festive season. Flipkart has already listed this variant as part of its upcoming Big Billion Days sale, which begins on September 23, suggesting that the phone will likely go on sale during that period.

The brand has not yet disclosed the pricing for the Snapdragon-powered Galaxy S24 in India. However, it has confirmed that the device will be offered in four colour options: Onyx Black, Marble Grey, Amber Yellow, and Cobalt Violet.
