This design change on the Galaxy S24 Ultra is projected to increase its width from 78.1 mm to 79 mm compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy S23 Ultra. While curved edges are often considered more aesthetically pleasing, they can make phones more challenging to grip.
@UniverseIce’s perspective suggests that the shift to a wider phone with flatter edges on the Galaxy S24 Ultra might evoke memories of older Samsung Galaxy Note models.
