Breaking a tradition that has held for many years, Samsung is finally getting rid of the curved display on its higher-end flagship device. The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra no longer comes with a curved display. It now features an entirely flat Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X panel.
This is also the case for the Samsung Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus. This news isn’t as surprising, though. Samsung did away with curved displays for standard and Plus versions of its Galaxy S devices since the S21 series.
Why is Samsung getting rid of the curved display?

Many of us see the removal of the curved display as a welcomed upgrade. Samsung was among the first to introduce curved screens on smartphones with the Samsung Galaxy Edge. It was introduced as a side panel that offered extra functionality, such as shortcuts. It then evolved into something more of a novelty. The curved edges made the bezels seem smaller, and the front more seamless.
Curved displays came with many complaints, though. Many of us had to deal with accidental touches, for example. Having the display digitizer extend to the edges also tends to make mobile phones more delicate. It also tends to make the grip less secure. Then there’s the glare. This is likely why the curved display trend has become less popular in recent years.

FAQs
No. The Samsung Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus come with a fully flat display panel, just like the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra comes with Corning Gorilla Armor protecting its front display. This is said to be 50% more resistant to scratches and drops. That said, adding a screen protector is never a bad idea.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has a titanium frame, making it very resistant. The satin finish provides more grip. Even if it’s more resistant than its predecessor, though, it’s not indestructible. Having a good case will further protect your device, and it will also keep it in pristine condition for longer.
