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.

Samsung’s next stylus may take inspiration from the Apple Pencil

In its quest for thinner, lighter phones, Samsung is considering a new design for the iconic S-Pen. The next Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 could be a bit thinner than the current model, with an S-Pen that more closely resembles an Apple Pencil. Such a change would come with some trade-offs: namely, that the S-Pen would require charging to function.

Most of Samsung's phones have what's called a digitizer — a thin layer of glass that translates touch input into something the phone understands. That digitizer takes up space, however, and a thinner option would allow phones to be even smaller. According to tipster Jukanlosreve, Samsung might do away with the digitizer on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in favor of the Active Electrostatic (AES) method.

Samsung has given us an early look at one of the big software features we can expect on the Galaxy S25 series. It’s called the Now Bar, and Samsung shared some details about it when it released the beta version of One UI 7. Now, we’ve got a lot more details and a better idea of how it fits in with Samsung’s big AI vision.

The Now Bar will live on the lock screen and show personalized data about your day and activities. Samsung states it’s where you will “control your entertainment, time your next personal best workout, get directions to your next meeting, or start communicating in other languages.” It doesn't specifically say the Now Bar is an AI assistant, but when it goes into more detail about what it can do, it certainly begins to sound like one.

Although Samsung has tons of features that give it an edge against the iPhone, its lineup of phones has never sported MagSafe without the use of a third-party case. A new leak suggests that might be about to change thanks to multiple first-party accessories, including a so-called 'Magnet Case.'

According to well-known tipster Max Jambor, the Samsung Galaxy S25 will be releasing alongside a line of magnetic and non-magnetic accessories, including the Standing Grip Case, Kindsuit Case, Ultra Clear Case, Silicone Case, Rugged Case, and the Magnet Case. He also said Samsung will have a magnetic wallet, although we haven't yet learned what it will be called.
