The launch of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is a big deal, not just because of Samsung’s new enthusiasm for AI, but also because of a simple design change — the flat glass display. That may not seem like such a big deal on the surface, until you remember this is the first time in almost nine and a half years Samsung has had an all-flat flagship phone line-up.
I’ve long criticized Samsung, and other phone makers, for sticking with the curved “Edge” display for so long. My argument was that Samsung was the company that started this trend, and even as Google ditched curved glass on the Pixel 8 Pro, we still needed Samsung to throw in the towel. Now it seems like I got my wish.
