New leaks of Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series have hit the web, giving us a first look at the design and its tweaked look, while new display information reveals that Samsung will challenge Apple’s new edge-to-edge iPhone 15 Pro displays.
Despite the phones themselves likely to not arrive until January, we’re getting a handful of key leaks this morning from two reliable sources. That starts with SmartPrix, sourcing @OnLeaks, with CAD-based renders of the Galaxy S24 that show off the design of the device.
At first glance, the look appears effectively identical to the Galaxy S23 series, but there are some minor tweaks.

Apple made headlines for its super-slim bezels on the latest iPhones, and it’s a good look in person. Samsung, though, will apparently slightly beat it. While Apple’s “total bezel” measures 2.7mm (1.7mm on the display itself), Samsung will hit 2.5mm in total (1.5mm on the display). The bezels will apparently be symmetrical as well.
Ice also offered up dimensions and a few specs for the…
