This is the best Samsung Galaxy S24 leak yet

It’s almost the start of a new year. How can you tell? Because Samsung smartphone leaks are everywhere. Just one day after a huge Galaxy S24 price leak, we now have new renders of all three S24 phones. And these aren’t just any renders — they’re the best ones we’ve seen yet.

Samsung Galaxy S24 renders have been appearing online for months now, but they often come with a caveat: They’re based on CAD designs, are low-resolution files, or have unsightly watermarks plastered all over them. That’s not the case with these newest S24 renders.

The first two images here show the regular Galaxy S24. It appears in yellow and purple colors in this leak, and as we’ve been expecting, it looks a lot like the Galaxy S23. We have a 6.2-inch display with no curved edges, three rear cameras, and a flat frame. It’s not breaking any new ground, but it’s also hard to argue with Samsung’s formula. It’s a solid design, and while not particularly exciting, I’m happy to see it return for another year.

The Galaxy S24 Plus render looks very similar to the standard S24, though it appears in a new gray/silver color. It’s expected to have a larger 6.7-inch screen and three rear cameras with a flat frame.

Finally, there’s the Galaxy S24 Ultra renders. This leak shows it in gray and violet colors, with the gray striking a close resemblance to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Considering Samsung is reported to also be using titanium for the S24 Ultra, that shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Similar to the S24 and S24 Plus, the S24 Ultra also bears a remarkably similar design to its predecessor. Just like the Galaxy S23 Ultra, the S24 Ultra will have a very square body, a 6.8-inch display, and four cameras on its backside. The 200MP camera introduced this year should make a return to the S24 Ultra. What may not return is Samsung’s 10x optical zoom; instead, Samsung may opt for 3x and 5x optical zoom sensors.

Although this latest Galaxy S24 leak doesn’t reveal any new information about the three phones, having such a clear, high-quality look at them is great.

Samsung has yet to say anything official about the Galaxy S24 series, but all signs point to a January 17 release/announcement date. If that’s true, expect Samsung to start teasing the S24 launch in the coming days ahead.

Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra: Everything we know
Though it will feature improvements across the board, the memory crisis might not spare Samsung’s Fold 8 Ultra.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is not the phone that reimagines what a foldable looks like. That job belongs to its sibling, the wider-screen Galaxy Z Fold 8; the Ultra is the direct successor to the Galaxy Z Fold 7 instead. It carries forward the same tall, narrow design and the same book-style proportions, for the same audience.

If you've used a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold in the past and think that the shape is perfect for you, the Fold 8 Ultra is exactly the right phone for you. It has a sharper inner display, a substantially larger battery, faster charging, and Samsung's new Flex Titanium display structure, which is designed to minimize the crease that has troubled Samsung's foldables for years.

Google’s priciest Pixel 11 may bring a smaller battery and a bigger bill
Google’s next Pro Pixels may turn “less for more” into a flagship feature
Rear shell of Google Pixel 10 Pro.

Google’s next flagship phones may ask buyers to accept two changes that rarely sit well together: smaller batteries and higher starting prices. Reliable leaker Roland Quandt claims the Pixel 11 Pro will carry a 4,850mAh battery, while the larger Pixel 11 Pro XL will offer 5,115mAh. The same leak puts their UK prices at £1,079 and £1,279, respectively, for models with 256GB of storage. Google has yet to confirm any of these figures, with the Pixel 11 launch scheduled for August 12.

Apple’s new Upgrade plan won’t punish missed payments with restrictions, but three strikes could end your lease
Restricted Mode remains in iOS 27 beta, but Apple says it won’t be used for Upgrade payment defaults
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Apple recently announced its new Apple Upgrade leasing plan, which lets customers pay monthly for an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch through Klarna. The program replaces the long-running iPhone Upgrade Program and expands the option beyond phones for the first time.

However, code discovered by 9to5Mac in an iOS 27 beta raised concerns about what could happen if someone fell behind on payments. The new App Managed Features system appeared capable of checking a customer’s payment status and placing a financed device into Restricted Mode.
