Now that Samsung has unveiled the 2023 foldable phones, the focus of the rumor mill gradually switches to the Galaxy S24 series of smartphones, which is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2024. A new leak, courtesy of tipster Ice Universe, reveals a major design change that will come to the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus phones.

The Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus are equipped with a flat back and a slightly protruding middle frame. The new leak suggests that the South Korean tech giant will ditch this design on the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus. In recent times, many smartphone manufacturers have adopted the flat-edge design seen on iPhones. The Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus are also expected to sport flattened edges, according to the tipster.

The leak does not say anything about the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which indicates that its frame design will diverge from that of the S24 and S24+. Hence, akin to the approach taken with the Galaxy S23 Ultra and S22 Ultra, it is possible that the S24 Ultra model might adopt an edge panel design to establish its uniqueness in terms of design attributes when compared to the S24 and S24+.

Rumors surrounding the Galaxy S24 series say that it will be available in Exynos 2400 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset variants in different markets. The entire series is also said to feature the latest M13 OLED panel for better visuals and arrive with support for two-way satellite communication.
