Samsung Galaxy S24 looks exactly like a dream phone in brilliant concept
Samsung slightly reduced the screen size of the vanilla Galaxy S22 model compared to the last year’s standard Galaxy S21. While the Galaxy S23 Ultra is the new talk of the town, famous concept creator HoiINDI just exposed the brilliant concept of a possible Galaxy S24, which looks exactly like a dream phone from Samsung.
Recently, a TheVerge report was published demanding a small Android phone on behalf of Pebble’s founder. Following that, the smartphone concept designer comes up with high-resolution renders of Eric Migicovsky’s dream phone.

Earlier, in an interview with TheVerge, Eric Migicovsky disclosed that he wants an Android smartphone that anyone can easily use and operate with a single hand. He also wants to “unionize” a community of small phone lovers to get sway with phone manufacturers and suppliers.
But why Samsung only?
Hehe, the reason is undoubtedly brilliant as there’s no other smartphone manufacturer in the world that has limitless consumers, all thanks to Samsung’s name and reputation. HoiINDI wants Samsung to unveil the Galaxy S24 as a small Android phone having the specifications, mentioned along.
According to the concept, the Galaxy S24 is a mini Android flagship smartphone, which literally has the same size as the Apple iPhone 14 mini. While there’s no information available related to the design language, the creator has just done everything with imagination.
On the front side, the Galaxy S24 smartphone equips a 5.4”-ish flat 1080p OLED display, with up to 120Hz refresh rate support, however, the survey’s wishlist wishes to get just 60Hz.
On the rear side, the Samsung Galaxy S24 concept showcases a dual camera setup, consisting of a 50MP primary camera and a 12MP ultrawide sensor.
While the Galaxy S22 features a triple rear camera arrangement, the Galaxy S24 should have just two lenses but effective as four alongside the LED flash and necessary sensors.
Apart from this, you can see the phone’s form factor is rugged so it can survive in wild elements. Usually, flagship phones mean no compromise with a pretty cool design, but the rugged flavor will make it usable even without case.
When it comes to remarkable upgrades, the Galaxy S24 will be needing to leave some futuristic technologies to become the dream phone as the concept shows off a punch-hole selfie camera, and even a crazy side-mounted fingerprint.
The stock Android operating system installation is anticipated, but Samsung has its own and unique skin called One UI. We eagerly wait for each new One UI iteration and there’s no doubt, we want just the One UI installed in Samsung phones.
Exynos processors are reportedly failed a lot of times in various usage, therefore, consumers skip buying a Samsung flagship if there’s no option of choice. Snapdragon chipset installation would be great, but we think, the Korean tech giant won’t be leaving to create Exynos chipsets.

2 More Samsung devices end their software update support
Along with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G, Samsung has officially ended software update support for two more Galaxy devices – the Galaxy M51 phone and Galaxy Tab A7 tablet. This means that these devices will no longer receive any software updates.
Both the Samsung Galaxy M51 and Galaxy Tab A7 were launched in 2020 and came pre-installed with Android 10. They received updates up to Android 12, and are not eligible for more Android updates. Now, these devices have completed their software update cycle.
Although these devices still work well for everyday tasks, users will not get any new features or security patches. This lack of updates can make the devices outdated, as they will not receive important improvements.
Samsung Galaxy M51 and Galaxy Tab A7 have reached the end of their update cycle, after receiving 4 years of updates. Now, users of these devices can think about upgrading to newer models to enjoy the latest features and better security.
Still, both devices are secure and functional for everyday use. The devices run Android 12 and support all major apps, including those for banking, so users can continue to perform their daily tasks without issues. If you want to enjoy the new and advanced features of One UI, newer Samsung models are required.

Bye-Bye Monthly Updates: Popular Galaxy A series phone shifts to Quarterly plan
Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G is a well-loved smartphone in the Galaxy A series that has now shifted from a monthly to a quarterly update plan. This means that users of this device will now receive software updates every three months instead of every month.
The Korean tech giant has recently announced its revised update schedule for its Galaxy devices, which places the Galaxy A52s 5G in the Quarterly update category.
Launched in 2021, the Galaxy A52s 5G came with Android 11 pre-installed. Since then, it has received three major Android updates and runs on Android 14 with One UI 6.1. However, the device will no longer be eligible for additional major Android OS updates. Users will still receive security updates, which will now be provided every three months.
While the Galaxy A52s 5G will continue to function properly, the shift to a quarterly update schedule means that users may not have access to the latest features and security enhancements as quickly as before.
If you own a Galaxy A52s and are considering an upgrade, you can look at newer Samsung models like the Galaxy A54 and A55. These devices will provide monthly updates and newer features to ensure you stay updated with the latest technology.
Moreover, Samsung has recently launched the Galaxy A16 5G smartphone. It is the first budget phone to offer six years of Android upgrades, providing software support until 2030. This makes the A16 5G an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers.
Don’t forget, the Galaxy A52s will remain a reliable smartphone even after a new quarterly update plan.
