Samsung is preparing to launch the Galaxy S24 series in January 2024. While the devices are still two months away, leaks have already revealed their key specs and design. The upcoming Galaxy flagships will bring a handful of upgrades to the table, along with a notable design overhaul for the Ultra model. Leaked screen protectors have now visualized the size difference between the three models and confirmed a flat display for the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Galaxy S24 screen protectors show up early
The latest Galaxy S24 leak comes from a noted industry insider known by the pseudonym Ice Universe on X (formerly Twitter). The tipster recently posted a picture that allegedly shows the screen protectors for the upcoming Samsung flagship trio. While the source didn’t share further information, the picture gives us a visual representation of the sizes of the phones.
As expected, the Galaxy S24 is the smallest of the lot. It is rumored to sport a 6.2-inch display with rounded corners. The Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 Ultra will feature 6.6-inch and 6.8-inch screens, respectively. However, while the former has rounded corners, the latter sports a boxy design with sharp corners. This leak also confirms that all three models have slim and symmetrical bezels. This year’s Galaxy S23 Ultra has a thicker bottom bezel.
Additionally, we can see that the screen protector meant for the Galaxy S24 Ultra is a flat piece of glass. This is a further confirmation that the phone features a flat display. Samsung has moved over from the curved screen it used on its flagship phones for the past several years. The company is prioritizing functionality over aesthetics. A curved display looks sleek and is more comfortable to hold, particularly when the phone is as big as the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
However, it is prone to accidental touches and may break easily during a fall. Putting a screen protector on a curved display is also a pain. Moreover, the S Pen works perfectly on the edges if the screen is flat. Considering this all, not many may dislike this change from Samsung. The Galaxy S24 Ultra should be the most popular model among the three new Samsung flagships.
Samsung will unveil the devices in mid-January
The Galaxy S24 series doesn’t yet have a launch date. Samsung will reveal the date just a few weeks before the big launch event. However, leaks have hinted at a January 17 unveiling of the phones, with the event taking place in San Jose, USA. With two more months to go, we should see many leaks about the Galaxy S24 lineup in the build-up to its launch, so stay tuned.
