Samsung is all set to launch the Galaxy S24 5G in India with the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. The device has been officially listed on Flipkart, confirming its price, specifications, and expected availability. This marks the arrival of the US-spec version in India, replacing the earlier Exynos-powered model, which has now been unlisted from the platform.
Launch
The Galaxy S24 5G with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will launch in India just in time for the Flipkart Big Billion Days Sale 2025, which begins on September 23. The phone has already appeared on Flipkart, along with detailed specs and pricing.
Samsung is offering this variant in four colour options — Amber Yellow, Cobalt Violet, Marble Gray, and Onyx Black. It will come in two storage configurations: 8GB RAM + 128GB and 8GB RAM + 256GB.

According to the Flipkart listing, the base 128GB variant of the Galaxy S24 5G with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will be priced at Rs. 74,999. The 256GB variant will cost Rs. 79,999.
Flipkart will also offer launch discounts. Buyers using Flipkart Axis or Flipkart SBI credit cards can avail an instant discount of Rs. 4,000, bringing the effective price down to Rs. 70,999 for the base variant. Easy EMI options will also be available for both models.

Display & Design
The Galaxy S24 5G features a 6.2-inch full-HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a resolution of 1,080×2,340 pixels. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate and can show up to 16 million colours, offering smooth visuals and vibrant colour reproduction. The compact design measures 147 x 70.6 x 7.6mm and weighs just 167 grams, making it one of the more pocket-friendly flagship phones.
Performance
At the heart of the device is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, paired with the Adreno 750 GPU. This processor delivers a peak clock speed of 3.39 GHz and is expected to offer excellent performance across multitasking, gaming, and heavy apps.
On Geekbench, a Samsung phone with the same model number (SM-S921E) scored 2251 in single-core and 7115 in multi-core tests. It runs Android 15 out of the box with One UI 7, and Flipkart mentions it will receive seven major Android OS updates — a huge plus for long-term users.
Cameras
The phone sports a triple rear camera setup. It includes a 50-megapixel wide-angle lens with f/1.8 aperture, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens with f/2.2 aperture, and a 10-megapixel telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and f/2.4 aperture.
Up front, there’s a 12-megapixel selfie camera — perfect for video calls and social media. Samsung’s camera software is also known for consistent results, so users can expect great image processing and video capabilities.
Battery & Connectivity
The Galaxy S24 5G packs a 4,000mAh battery with support for 25W wired fast charging. While it’s not class-leading in size or charging speed, it should comfortably last a day for most users thanks to power efficiency improvements in the new chipset.
Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.4, and a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port. The phone also comes with a full suite of sensors including a fingerprint scanner, accelerometer, barometer, gyroscope, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, and more.
The Snapdragon-powered Galaxy S24 5G gives Indian users a more powerful version of Samsung’s compact flagship. With its clean design, long software support, and flagship-grade internals, it could be a smart buy — especially with discounts during the Big Billion Days sale.
