The serial tipster @UniverseIce has shared unofficial renders of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and the iPhone 15 Ultra (which might also be called the iPhone 15 Pro Max). These renders provide an idea of how the largest and most expensive phones in each series might look next to each other.
The images confirm previous rumors that the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will feature a flatter display compared to the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. In contrast, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Ultra are expected to have slightly more curved screen edges.
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.
Ultimately, whether these design changes are preferable or not comes down to personal taste and how users prefer their phones to feel. It’s worth noting that transitioning to a flatter display on the Galaxy S24 Ultra may result in more visible bezels, which could be a concern for some users.
Both the Galaxy S24 and iPhone 15 series are anticipated to launch in the coming months, with the Galaxy S24 expected in January and February, while Apple’s new iPhones are expected to debut in the following month.
