Welcome to flat screen. Thanks samsung

    I had just posted a voting poll on reddit in rGalaxy and many agree with FLAT DISPLAY.

    S-pen is unusable on the curve sides, which makes no sense.

    Colors at the curves are not vibrant if a flex film is applied on.

    Display gets damaged easily at the corners. Cost and time to replace is tiring

    Most important is that WE CANNOT PUT A TEMPERED GLASS ON OUR ULTRA MODEL.

    Now, those who'd say we have whitedome glass and stuff like that. Yes but it's so expensive and not worth the money. Application process is complex.
    Flix films on S23 Ultra or any Ultra are dust magnets. They lower the screen visibility and by using Spen on it, you know what happens.

    SAMSUNG IF YOU CANNOT GET MicroSD CARD&3.5mm Jack (like Sony) then At least GET FLAT DISPLAY ON ULTRA model from 24 Ultra and above.

      yalim, 23 Aug 2023I had a curved screen before.it fells nice to use swipe bac... more"..is just getting worse with a protective film.no protector stick well around the edges. they lift in a few weeks.."

      Well my phone has a curved display with a silicone screen protector on it, that sticks on the edges too and has lasted me 2 months so far, still without issues. I do understand the concern tho.

        At 79mm wide will be huge. Maybe the dutch will be ok with this

          I had a curved screen before.it fells nice to use swipe back gestures with a curved edge when it is unprotected! but, it is just getting worse with a protective film.no protector stick well around the edges. they lift in a few weeks, they collect dust and the swipe gesture no longer feels smooth like a naked screen because of those lifted edges.

          if you look for a protective glass,there are little choices that cover the edges and stick well. most get loose around the edges in a few weeks and excess air under the protective glass decrease touch sensitivity around the curved edges. most of these glasses block in-screeen fingerprint reader,too.

          in summary,curved screens are very hard to use with protection.

              Yes flat screen is better

                They should rather change other things about the design and keep the screen curved.
                S24 Ultra shouldn't still look like a Note20 Ultra

                  Flat edges would increase the width of ultra which is already a wiiiidddee phone to use.

                    thats awesome for SPen user. thank you sammy.
                    the other 2 variant of s24 can be curved, no complains.

                      Thanks goodness, say goodbye to curved screens already. They are and always have been a marketing gimmick and a waste of time and screen real estate. When content rolls into the curve it's time to put your brain to work and go back to flat Samsung!

                        Oh pls no. I switched from samsung curvy screen to an iPhone and I can’t really stand this thing. It’s a nice touch😮‍💨. I guess I’ll grab a S23 Ultra on discount

                          Flat screen is not the deal-breaker after all. It is good (if not the best) indeed. For me, it is a deal breaker if there is no official IP rating and no microSD (oh no we are talking about the flagship ones, arent we?) LOL

                              Samsung.. you have to bend to Apple's will. Flat screen rules.

                              Same as your watches.. STOP with the circular watches.. ITs useless!. Make square ones like Apple.. then the sales will pick up.

                                  Great. Makes good sense, using the s pen on the edges is not easy. Flat doesn't distort the image too, and better fall protection. Good move, at last

                                    Finally samsung. Go back to the boxy flat design and all work well. Don't need to have a curve on the edges or any part. Just make it boxy rectangular and it will be fine. More written space and better screen protection. The curve just make putting a screen protector troublesome and also casing problem.

                                      curvy baby, 23 Aug 2023no curve screen , no buyno exynos no buy! 😜

                                        Well, with or without curves, it better keep the same screen-to-body ratio (i.e. thin bezels), or else......
