This is the best Samsung Galaxy S24 leak yet

It’s almost the start of a new year. How can you tell? Because Samsung smartphone leaks are everywhere. Just one day after a huge Galaxy S24 price leak, we now have new renders of all three S24 phones. And these aren’t just any renders — they’re the best ones we’ve seen yet.

Samsung Galaxy S24 renders have been appearing online for months now, but they often come with a caveat: They’re based on CAD designs, are low-resolution files, or have unsightly watermarks plastered all over them. That’s not the case with these newest S24 renders.

The first two images here show the regular Galaxy S24. It appears in yellow and purple colors in this leak, and as we’ve been expecting, it looks a lot like the Galaxy S23. We have a 6.2-inch display with no curved edges, three rear cameras, and a flat frame. It’s not breaking any new ground, but it’s also hard to argue with Samsung’s formula. It’s a solid design, and while not particularly exciting, I’m happy to see it return for another year.

The Galaxy S24 Plus render looks very similar to the standard S24, though it appears in a new gray/silver color. It’s expected to have a larger 6.7-inch screen and three rear cameras with a flat frame.

Finally, there’s the Galaxy S24 Ultra renders. This leak shows it in gray and violet colors, with the gray striking a close resemblance to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Considering Samsung is reported to also be using titanium for the S24 Ultra, that shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Similar to the S24 and S24 Plus, the S24 Ultra also bears a remarkably similar design to its predecessor. Just like the Galaxy S23 Ultra, the S24 Ultra will have a very square body, a 6.8-inch display, and four cameras on its backside. The 200MP camera introduced this year should make a return to the S24 Ultra. What may not return is Samsung’s 10x optical zoom; instead, Samsung may opt for 3x and 5x optical zoom sensors.

Although this latest Galaxy S24 leak doesn’t reveal any new information about the three phones, having such a clear, high-quality look at them is great.

Samsung has yet to say anything official about the Galaxy S24 series, but all signs point to a January 17 release/announcement date. If that’s true, expect Samsung to start teasing the S24 launch in the coming days ahead.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra has given me hope about AI, but only for now

There’s a lot riding on the latest Galaxy AI features headlining the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, but after spending a short time with the phone I’m far more positive about it than I have been about mobile AI at all so far. It’s a good thing, as the rest of the Galaxy S25 Ultra isn’t exactly groundbreaking. However, it's going to take a while before we truly understand if Galaxy AI on the S25 series is as transformational as Samsung claims.
The more you use it

There’s something to explain about the Galaxy AI features before we go any further. I’m basing my positive interest on what I’ve been told it’ll do, rather than seeing it actually doing it in person. Normally this would be a cardinal sin, but as this is a hands-on and not a review, I feel it’s acceptable. The reason is, Galaxy AI’s personalized insights — the most intriguing aspect — needs time to get to know you, and unless you’ve used the phone for a period of time, it doesn’t work.

Google and Samsung phones will be receiving Qi2 wireless charging, the answer to Apple's MagSafe wireless charging, this year.

The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) said in a press release ahead of CES 2025 on Monday that the "acceleration" of native Qi2 wireless charging support will be rolling out to more Android phones throughout the year, including the Samsung Galaxy and Google's Pixel line of phones. Both flagship companies confirmed their intentions to program Qi2 into their respective devices.

The 2025 Android phone I’m most looking forward to isn’t from Samsung or Google

2025 is rapidly approaching, and that can only mean one thing for a tech nerd like me: It's time to start looking forward to another year of smartphones. All signs are pointing to an interesting year for Apple with the iPhone 17, and I'm eager to see what comes of it.

But what about what's happening in the Android smartphone space? The Samsung Galaxy S25 series is just on the horizon, but I've yet to see anything that's made me really ecstatic about it. The Google Pixel 10 series should be a good one, but we've not heard enough about it yet.
