If you plan on preordering a Samsung Galaxy S24 or Galaxy S24 Ultra today, you’ll be faced with a very important decision regarding your new phone’s color.

If you get an S24 at Amazon, Best Buy, or from your carrier, you’ll find four OK styles to choose from. The S24 and S24 Plus come in Onyx Black, Marble Gray, Cobalt Violet, and Amber Yellow. Want an S24 Ultra? You get to choose from Titanium Violet, Yellow, Black, or Gray. They’re decent choices, and it’s nice to see some symmetry across all three phones.

However, as it turns out, Samsung has some secret colors you’ll only find on its website — and they’re the best ones you can get.

A refreshing green color

If you preorder any of the Galaxy S24 models directly from Samsung’s website, you’ll find three other exclusive colors you can’t get anywhere else. The first one is Jade Green/Titanium Green — depending on which S24 model you choose.

It’s a really pleasing, almost calming shade of mint green. It looks lovely, especially with the gray titanium border you get on the S24 Ultra variant.

Look at that blue!

Another exclusive color is called Sapphire Blue/Titanium Blue. It’s a pastel blue hue, and it looks similar to the Sky Blue color Samsung offered last year on the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Similar to green, it manages to be a very chill color without looking too boring. And once again, I really like how it contrasts with the S24 Ultra’s titanium frame. It’s a great look.

Oh, so orange

Last, but certainly not least, the third exclusive color for the S24 series is Sandstone Orange/Titanium Orange. This is a deep, colorful orange hue, and I can’t recall the last time I’ve seen it on a phone like this.

There were rumors we’d see something similar for the iPhone 15, but that never came to fruition.

Don’t miss out on the S24’s best colors

Hiding exclusive smartphone colors on its website isn’t anything new for Samsung, but it’s always a good reminder to have around a new Galaxy launch. The standard Galaxy S24 colors aren’t bad by any means, but the Samsung-exclusive ones are considerably more eye-catching.

You won’t pay extra for the new colors, and Samsung’s website has some of the best preorder deals you’ll find, so you might as well start your shopping there.

Does the Samsung Galaxy S24 have wireless charging?

At first glance, the Samsung Galaxy S24 series might look the same as the S23 lineup, but there are a lot of changes under the hood. For instance, the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus feature a bigger display and battery, while the Galaxy S24 Ultra is dropping its unique 10x telephoto camera in favor of a 5x optical zoom lens. The standout feature that Samsung is trying to market is Galaxy AI, which offers stuff like Live Translate, Transcript Assist, and more.

However, using the new features will likely consume more battery, despite the efficient Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. You’d want these phones to charge fast and, at times, wirelessly to get them juiced up for the day. It may seem like a no-brainer question to ask if the Galaxy S24 series supports wireless charging – especially considering that the predecessor lineup had the feature. But there are some specifics that you need to know.

Does the Samsung Galaxy S24 have a headphone jack?

Until a few years ago, most of us spent an enormous amount of time detangling our wired earphones. Even though it seems an image of the distant past now, many people still prefer listening to audio via a wired connection due to better audio quality and lower latency than wireless earphones or headphones. If you are among those and have been eyeing the new Galaxy S24 series phones, it's worth questioning: Does the Galaxy S24 have a headphone jack?

Apple's decision to remove the headphone jack from the iPhone 7 in 2016 has continually compelled more and more phone brands to follow suit. Samsung initially resisted the move for the next three years and offered a headphone jack until the flagship Galaxy S10 and Note 10 series launched in 2019. What does that mean for the Galaxy S24 series? Let us answer that for you!

The Galaxy S24 Ultra beats the iPhone in the worst way possible

Everything seems to be more expensive these days, but it has always been a fairly solid and accepted rule that the biggest, most powerful Apple iPhone model — currently the iPhone 15 Pro Max — would be the most expensive non-folding smartphone you could buy, even in its most basic configuration.

However, in a continued effort to steal Apple’s thunder -- not being content with the 5x optical zoom camera and titanium frame -- Samsung has priced the Galaxy S24 Ultra higher than its prequel, giving it the dubious honor of being even more expensive than an iPhone.
