Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S24 lineup has been making headlines recently, with leaked renders giving us a glimpse into the design of the new phones. While the overall design is expected to be similar to its predecessor, the Galaxy S23 series, there is one minor change that has caught people’s attention.
According to leaked information, the Galaxy S24 Ultra will feature a new speaker grille design. Unlike the pill-shaped holes seen on current Galaxy flagships, the speaker grille on the Galaxy S24 Ultra will reportedly be a long rectangular strip. While this change may not affect the user experience or the sound quality of the speakers, it could potentially divide opinions on the device’s aesthetics.
Interestingly, this design is not entirely new for Samsung. The Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+, Samsung’s first flagship phones with stereo speakers, had a similar speaker opening design. However, this design was not carried over to subsequent flagships, including the Galaxy Note 9. If the rumors are true, it seems Samsung is bringing back this design element with the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
It’s worth noting that the speaker grille is located on the bottom side of the phone, which is not frequently visible to users. Therefore, the impact on the overall look of the device might be minimal and something that users will quickly adapt to.
While the leaked information only pertains to the Galaxy S24 Ultra, it remains to be seen if the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ will receive a similar speaker grille treatment. Fortunately, eager fans won’t have to wait too long for answers, as Samsung is allegedly planning to unveil the Galaxy S24 lineup in January.
As always, it’s important to take leaked information and rumors with a grain of salt until the official unveiling. Only then will we be able to confirm the changes and features of the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S24 lineup.
