We’ve got another Galaxy S24 leak to pass on to you, this time regarding theSamsung Galaxy S24 Ultra– and specifically how thin the bezels around the edge of the flagship phone’s display are going to be.
The usually reliable@UniverseIcehas posted that the S24 Ultra will offer “the thinnest bezel and the thickest middle frame” – attaching a mocked up render of how this will actually look when the phone is revealed.
Apparently the bezel (the black borders just outside the display) will be a mere 1.52mm thick, while the middle frame (the edge of the phone, outside the display and bezels) is going to be 1.85mm thick.
That’s 3.37mm in total, and according to this tipster it means it’s got “the thickest frame in history” – apparently the black version of the phone will look pretty “ugly” because the frame and bezel will blend into one when you’re viewing it.
I will call S24 Ultra a smartphone with the thinnest bezel and the thickest middle frame.Its bezel is only 1.52mm, which is obviously the narrowest.But its middle frame reaches 1.85mm,It is the phone with the thickest frame in history.So, when they add up, the total is 3.4… pic.twitter.com/yr4OO7IPiEDecember 3, 2023
Bezels and screens
There’s been more chatterabout the bezelson the Galaxy S24 Ultra than you might have imagined, and indeed @UniverseIce has previouslygone on recordas saying how thick the frame and bezels will be in combination.
We’ve also previouslyseen unofficial rendersof how these bezels might look on the actual phone, and it sounds as though the top and bottom bezels are likely to be narrower than the ones on the left and right sides of the screen.
Another change that’s said to be in the pipeline for the Ultra model isa switch to a flat screenrather than the slightly rounded edges of its predecessor, which also plays into what we’re hearing about bezels and frames.
