It’s Galaxy S24 leak season! The cellphone, which will not be out till early 2024, is already being detailed by OnLeaks and SmartPrix. The two have dueling posts for the S24 Ultra and one other for the cheaper S24 and S24 Plus. As usual, these are CAD-derived renders which are normally handed round to accent makers, so whereas all the necessary bits are in the proper spot all the way down to the millimeter, do not learn an excessive amount of into the unconfirmed finer particulars.
First up are the cheaper Plus and base fashions, which share a design. The very first thing you may discover this yr is a change from rounded color-matched sides to a flat metallic band that wraps round the perimeter. The new flat band makes the S24 awfully near an iPhone design, with solely the digicam block and lack of a dynamic island as the differentiators. Would you imagine Samsung has additionally found an affection for titanium and upgraded the telephones with slimmer bezels? I swear I’ve heard all this earlier than someplace lately.
The titanium band has a giant oval cutout on the proper facet of the cellphone, and that is reportedly for a UWB (ultra-wideband) antenna. Previously, this was reserved for the Ultra and Plus fashions, however now even the base mannequin is getting it. Samsung, and seemingly everybody else in the Android ecosystem, is engaged on developing with Bluetooth tracker opponents to the AirTag, and UWB’s directional location options will probably be a core a part of that. UWB shouldn’t be on many Android telephones, although, so that is progress.
The Ultra model exhibits the identical Ultra design that Samsung has used since the S22. This gadget can also be becoming a member of Team Titanium and going with slimmer bezels. We haven’t got precise numbers but, however the SmartPrix report says, ” Samsung has made exceptional strides in decreasing the bezel dimension. The result’s considered one of the narrowest bezels seen on any smartphone, reaching a symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing look.” Titanium will reportedly minimize the weight by 1 g.
The S24 Ultra show nonetheless has a little bit of a curve to it. Some Android producers have lastly obtained the message that curved screens are a foul concept since the picture they’re displaying was meant to be flat. But it would not seem to be Samsung, the firm that created this mess, is sort of there but. The usual 6.8-inch OLED show is getting brighter, with a 2,200 nit daylight mode. That’s barely lower than the rumored specs for the Pixel 8 show (each of that are assuredly Samsung shows).
Other anticipated specs for the Ultra are a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, the usual-sized 5000 mAh battery, and an unimaginable top-tier storage possibility of 2TB. We have some time to go earlier than these telephones launch, so there’s positive to be extra leaks later.
