Previous Galaxy S24 Ultra release date rumors

Famous leaker Ice Universe claimed back in September that he thinks the new Galaxy S24 line-up will be coming out around January 18th, which is a bit earlier than the last couple of releases, but the same month that the S21 Ultra came out. Seoul Economic Daily seems to support this, saying it will likely be out earlier than usual. Now we know that the Unpacked Event is taking place on January 17th, we assume this is actually referencing the pre-order date, when you’ll actually be able to buy the phone, rather than the actual release date.
