One of the most notable changes in the Galaxy S24 Ultra is that it has a flat screen instead of a curved one. This is a departure from the previous Galaxy S models like the S23 Ultra, S22 Ultra, and S21 Ultra, which all had curved screens. Many Galaxy S fans have been waiting for a flat-screen option, and now it’s finally here.

Curved screens are typically touted by companies as being more immersive, but they can also be ergonomic nightmares. With a flat screen, the S24 Ultra delivers an impressive viewing experience without any of the curved screen hassles.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra boasts a 6.8-inch QHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. This means the screen refreshes 120 times per second, creating a smoother and more responsive experience. The display is brighter than its predecessors, making it easier to use in bright sunlight. The screen is protected by a newer version of Gorilla Glass, which is more resistant to scratches and glare.

The Galaxy S24 Plus has a 6.7-inch QHD+ display with a resolution of 3088 x 1440 pixels and a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra comes in seven colors, including Titanium Orange and Titanium Gray, and is available with 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage. All three new Galaxy S24 models include advanced Galaxy AI features, with tools like Circle to Search, Live Translate, Interpreter, and more.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra leaked, and it looks ridiculous

Samsung is only a few weeks away from its next big Unpacked event, so it's natural for the leaks to start seeping through. Previous leaks have exposed what the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Flip 6 phones are expected to look like, while Samsung has jubilantly showcased the Galaxy Ring multiple times.

Now, it's time for the watches, with a new design leak revealing the Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra -- a new variant that will launch alongside the standard Galaxy Watch 7 and the cheaper Watch 7 FE. And the design sure is something.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 will get a small (but critical) upgrade

Poor battery life is often one of the biggest hurdles for a smartwatch. Samsung knows this and is about to address it on its upcoming Galaxy Watch 7. According to filings with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ,the new watch will feature improved charging capabilities.

The FCC filings include listings for at least three new Samsung watches. As spotted by Droid Life, the listings for the SM-L300, SM-L305, SM-L310, SM-L315, and SM-R861 are for the Galaxy Watch 7 (Bluetooth only), Galaxy Watch 7 (LTE), and Galaxy Watch FE. Some new watches are expected to support charging up to 15 watts, which is 50% faster than the current Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic models that only support charging up to 10W. This means the new watches might only take 45 minutes to charge from 0% to 100%, compared to the current 90 minutes for the Galaxy Watch 6.
