It’s time to put away your bank card and take a break from shopping on Black Friday. You need to hear about the latest Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra leak, which includes actual images of the new smartphone in all its glory. DavidMa05368498 posted the pictures on X (formerly Twitter). The known Samsung leaker Ice Universe has also confirmed that the photos are genuine.

The leak shows that the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra perfectly matches the renders floating around in recent weeks. The design reveals a phone with a flatter design on both the display and backside. Perhaps better still is that, though the frame is slightly curved, the display is not.

Earlier rumors stated that Samsung would prioritize flat screens and slimmer bezels for the Galaxy S24 Ultra, potentially achieving the narrowest bezels yet on a Samsung smartphone. As you can see, the camera setup is strikingly similar to the Galaxy S23 Ultra. This doesn’t come as a surprise.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra may feature a titanium frame, similar to the iPhone 15 Pro series, resulting in a significant reduction in weight of up to 10%.

Next year’s Galaxy S models may welcome a new feature called Samsung Gauss, a proprietary generative AI model. Given the current dominance of AI apps like ChatGPT and Google Bard, the introduction of Gauss wouldn’t be unexpected. It could be an exciting addition to the Galaxy S24 family.

On February 1 of this year, Samsung announced the Galaxy S23 series, which hints that its successor will be unveiled in the coming weeks. According to at least one report, Samsung will likely introduce the Galaxy S24 series on January 17, 2024, at an Unpacked event in San Jose, California.

Samsung is expected to release three new smartphones like in previous years, namely the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus, and Galaxy S24 Ultra. The prices of these new models are likely to be similar to those of the S23 series, with the Galaxy S24 starting at $800, the S24 Plus model at $1,000, and the S24 Ultra at around $1,200.

The Galaxy S25 may get the spec update it deserves

The Samsung Galaxy S25 looks set to come with an important upgrade over the Galaxy S24: more RAM. It may sound like a simple specification bump, but if a benchmark test is correct, an increase to 12GB for the base model is entirely possible. When the Galaxy S24 launched earlier this year, it came with 8GB of RAM on its entry-level model, which many didn't consider to be a flagship specification that was in line with the phone's status and price. The Galaxy S25 is apparently raising it from 8GB to 12GB, according to a report from GSMArena.

The additional RAM means your apps will run more smoothly, with fewer hiccups and less stuttering, but we shouldn't get too excited yet. We're not sure if Samsung is completely doing away with the 8GB option, and some of the more costly Galaxy S24 phones did come with 12GB of RAM. The benchmark hinting at a RAM upgrade could also be false as they can be faked, so take it with skepticism.

I tried a new Android phone that puts some of the best smartphone cameras to shame
The rear camera setup on the Oppo Find X8 Pro.

It’s been a few years since I was surprised by a smartphone camera’s zoom performance. With Samsung offering 100x zoom on its Galaxy S Ultra lineup, little has shocked me with smartphone cameras — until now.

The Oppo Find X8 series is the successor to the Find X7 series from last year, and alongside several other improvements, there’s also been a significant upgrade in one area: the 30x zoom. Oppo and OnePlus have great cameras at shorter zoom distances, and at a recent briefing, I discovered that we can now add the 30x zoom to the list.

We’ve got our first big clue about the Galaxy S25’s arrival

The Samsung Galaxy S25 has had a tentative early 2025 launch date for months now, but we might finally have an actual date to look forward to. Samsung will hold its next Galaxy Unpacked event on January 23, according to FNNews, a South Korean website, with the Galaxy S25 series as the star of the show. It's the most precise date we have seen yet for the speculated Galaxy S25 announcement.

Take this news with some skepticism, though, as Samsung has not confirmed any dates for its Unpacked event yet. The report also states San Francisco is "a strong candidate" for the city to host the event. The last Galaxy Unpacked event was held in Paris in July.
