Samsung plans to hold its first Galaxy Unpacked event in January 2024, and the protagonist of this event is obviously the Galaxy S24 Ultra. It is said that this flagship phone is also the first time that the company has switched from aluminum alloy and glass body to titanium alloy body. Now, a tipster has done a side-by-side comparison of the Galaxy S23 Ultra and its successor, and the results show that while the two phones have a lot of similarities, the transition to titanium alloy construction means improvements in aspects such as texture.
Of course, Galaxy S24 Ultra also has some improvements of its own in design, such as larger buttons, changes in S Pen, etc.
The images were uploaded on X by IceUniverse, but the watermark indicated that the images were from Taiwan. The comparison chart shows Galaxy S24 Ultra and Galaxy S23 Ultra from different angles, giving us a closer look at Samsung’s upcoming new phones. If you didn't notice, the phone at the bottom is the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which uses a simpler texture.
Unfortunately, as we saw with the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, using titanium also results in less durability than previous models. The overall thickness of this upcoming flagship phone has been reduced to 8.6 mm, and the speaker openings have also been changed from grids to long strips, which may lead to better audio output. The air outlet has also been moved to the top, and the bottom of the S Pen has been changed from the curved shape of the Galaxy S23 Ultra to a flat bottom.
The buttons of the Galaxy S24 Ultra are also thicker and may feel better to the touch than the previous generation. Although Samsung has retained the design of the two flagship phones, it has made improvements to the Galaxy S24 Ultra, especially the use of new manufacturing materials. As for whether it can withstand the test of long-term use, we will wait and see.
