Earlier today, we got our first look at the Samsung Galaxy S24 courtesy of CAD-based renders shared by reliable leakster OnLeaks. The same source has now given us an exclusive look at the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The leakster has teamed up with SmartPrix to share multiple renders and a 360-degree video of the next-gen Samsung flagship.
Leaked Galaxy S24 Ultra renders confirm a flat display
You might have come across rumors that Samsung will switch to a flat display on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, ditching the tradition of curved displays on its most expensive S-Series phone. The newly leaked renders confirm this redesign. The screen is still a 6.8-inch panel, but it no longer has curves on the edges. This change means you’ll notice bezels on the two sides, while Samsung seems to have shrunk top and bottom bezels for a symmetrical front design.
With no curve display, the Korean firm has made the Galaxy S24 Ultra slightly wider to keep a 6.8-inch screen (78.1mm vs. 79mm). The new phone is also slightly shorter (163.4mm vs. 162.3mm) and thinner (8.9mm vs. 8.6mm). The rest of the design doesn’t change much, though. We are still getting a boxy design with flat edges and sharper corners than the regular Galaxy S24, which is getting flatter edges too.
The power and volume buttons sit on the right side, with Samsung making room here for the UWB (Ultra-Wideband) antenna as well. Similar to the base model, the Galaxy S24 Ultra also has two holes at the top. The bottom edge houses the USB Type-C port, speaker, microphone, SIM tray, and the S Pen slot. The left side is blank with no holes, ports, or buttons. All we can see is an antenna line, which is found on other sides as well.
The rear camera array is unchanged
Coming to the cameras, Samsung appears to be making its so-called “signature Galaxy design” permanent. As you can see, there’s no camera bump with sensors protruding out of the back panel. We have three cameras stacked vertically in one column, with the laser autofocus sensor, LED flash, and a fourth camera sitting next to them. Rumors are that Samsung is replacing the 10x zoom camera with a 5x unit next year.
The Galaxy S24 series is rumored to arrive a couple of weeks earlier than the Galaxy S23. If these rumors turn out to be accurate, we should see the phones go official in mid-January next year. In the interim, you can expect plenty more leaks about the phones, including more renders and detailed specifications. We will keep you posted accordingly.
