The Samsung Galaxy S24 design may borrow from the Galaxy Z Fold 5

Last month the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 got its grand unveiling, and the foldable phone series may offer a clue about the design that's in the pipeline for the Samsung Galaxy S24 flagship arriving early next year.

According to serial tipster @UniverseIce (via SamMobile), the upcoming Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus are going to come sporting a "vertical frame design" that removes the slightly curved bulge around the edges of the current Galaxy S23 handsets.

It's not a huge change but it should be noticeable when looking at and holding the phones. The updated design would also be more in line with what we have with the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy Z Flip 5 – and more like what Apple has done with the iPhone 14 handsets.

There's no mention here of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, so we're assuming that the most expensive phone in the series will be going its own way in terms of design aesthetics, and may just follow the blueprint laid down by the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Design evolution

All should be revealed in the next few months, but with the launch of Samsung's latest foldables now out of the way, those in the business of Samsung leaks and rumors can focus on the Galaxy S24 – with a launch expected in either January or February.

It was only a couple of days ago that we heard that the Galaxy S24 Ultra could be making the switch from aluminum to the tougher titanium while also getting lighter, so there may well be a few tweaks next year in terms of the design and build of these phones.

We're now at the stage where it's difficult for phone manufacturers to do anything truly innovative in terms of the looks of their devices, which means we're left with a few small edits to curves and edges rather than anything major.

As for the internals, it sounds as though there might not be much change in terms of one of the cameras on the Galaxy S24, while the Exynos chipset is rumored to be making a return. Expect plenty more in the way of Galaxy S24 rumors in the coming months.

Windows Copilot leak suggests deeper assimilation with Windows 11 features

Key Windows 11 features may soon be customizable as Microsoft further integrates its Windows Copilot AI assistant into the operating system. This tidbit comes from tech news site Windows Latest , which claims to have discovered new .json (JavaScript Object Notation) files within recent preview builds of Windows 11. These files apparently hint at future upgrades for the desktop AI assistant. For example, a “TaskManagerService-ai-plugin.json” was found which is supposedly a “plugin for Task Manager integration”. If this ever comes out, it could give users the ability to “monitor or close running apps using” Copilot. In total, six are currently tested and they affect various aspects of Windows 11. Next, there is an “AccessbilityTools-ai-plugin.json” that gives Copilot a way to “control accessibility [tools]. This would make it "easier for those with [a] disability to navigate through the system.” Third is “ai-plugin-WindowsSettings.json” for controlling important Windows 11 set...

Samsung's ViewFinity S9 may be the monitor creatives have been searching for

Originally revealed during CES 2023 , Samsung has finally launched its ViewFinity S9 5K monitor after nine long months of waiting.  According to the announcement, the ViewFinity S9 is the company’s first-ever 5K resolution (5,120 x 2880 pixels) IPS display aimed primarily at creatives. IPS stands for in-plane switching , a form of LED tech offering some of the best color output and viewing angles on the market. This quality is highlighted by the fact that the 27-inch screen supports 99 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut plus delivers 600 nits of brightness.  Altogether, these deliver great picture quality made vibrant by saturated colors and dark shadows. The cherry on top for the ViewFinity S9 is a Matte Display coating to “drastically [reduce] light reflections.”  As a direct rival to the Apple Studio Display , the monitor is an alternative for creative professionals looking for options. It appears Samsung has done its homework as the ViewFinity S9 addresses some of...
