New Samsung Galaxy S24 design features
As can be seen from the Galaxy S24 design renders based on the phone’s CAD files, there will be a new side frame. The pictures and 360 video sent by Steve to Smartpix showcase an edgy Galaxy S24 with much flatter sides compared to its S23 predecessor.

Does the new Galaxy S24 design mean that Samsung will employ new drame material like Apple did with the iPhone 15 Pro series? That remains to be heard, but given that this will be the cheapest member of Samsung’s 2024 flagship series, we don’t expect any titanium to make a cameo in it.
Verizon’s Galaxy S23 has similar elliptical area for the UWB antenna
The mmWave bands that Verizon is so fond of deliver those blazing fast Gigabit 5G network speeds that the carrier likes to boast with but don’t travel far and have trouble penetrating through obstacles so taking an antenna as close to the surface as possible helps with signal strength.
Judging from the different finish where the purported antenna lies on the Galaxy S24 frame, Samsung could’ve also covered the area with something that would be easier for network signal to get through than the perhaps new metal alloy it will use for the sides. Does this mean that the international S24 version will also get Ultra Wideband mmWave 5G capabilities? It remains to be heard.

Besides the slight change in dimensions necessitated by the new flat sides of the Galaxy S24, the sources tip that Samsung isn’t embarking on any drastic hardware upgrade quests.
