Samsung Galaxy S24
South Korean tech giant Samsung is most likely working on bringing its curved-edge display back, especially on its flagship smartphones. We know this as some patents for the same have surfaced online. In a report by MSPowerUser, Samsung recently filed a concept for a curved-edge design. This hints at a potential comeback for the once-popular feature.
If we take a closer look at the patent, the design looks similar to that of Samsung’s Ultra-level phones, such as the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The illustrations showcase a slightly curved display that bends downward at the edges. The Ultra smartphones on the Galaxy S series are known for having the S pen and interestingly, the design includes a dedicated S Pen slot. So we might get to see the curved-edge innovation on a future Ultra model. For context, the current Galaxy S24 Ultra has a flat and boxy look to it.

Samsung uses curved displays a lot sometime back so much that it became a hallmark of Samsung’s premium devices years ago. However, this choice faced a lot of criticism for practical issues like accidental touches and compatibility with screen protectors. With the new design innovation, Samsung seems to be addressing these concerns. The patent hints at improvements in durability. We can even expect a stronger display that minimizes the risk of damage and a new “leak prevention assembly” likely related to better internal sealants.
This patent aligns with recent leaks surrounding the Galaxy S25 Ultra and S25 Plus. Rumours previously suggested that Samsung may reintroduce curved-edge displays as part of its flagship lineup. Rumors also point to a possible launch date for the Galaxy S25 series on January 22, 2025. Let’s see if curved displays make it to production or not.
