One of the biggest pain points for Galaxy S24 Ultra owners was the design of the model, which made it uncomfortable to hold due to the sharper edges. Samsung took notice of this, and its new S25 Ultra model had rounded edges, which made it easier to grip the phone and also offered better ergonomics. Many users who did not opt for the new premium phone and are continuing with its predecessor still have to deal with the impractical design. It turns out that discomfort is not the only problem with a boxier style, as a user has now complained about his pair of jeans being ruined because of the phone.
Galaxy S24 Ultra owner shares his dismay over the sharp edges that damaged his pair of jeans
Samsung this year brought some significant changes to its flagship series and while AI remained to be the major selling point of the Galaxy S25 lineup, it was the new design of the S25 Ultra that also managed to gain quite the attention. This is because the South Korean tech giant decided to step away from the classic boxy design of the S24 Ultra and move to more rounded edges for its successor. Aesthetically, it gives the model a modern look and offers better ergonomics, and it now appears that practically, it makes more sense, too.
A Galaxy S24 Ultra owner took it to Reddit to share his frustration about an issue with the sharp edges of the phone. He attached a photo of a hole in his jeans pocket due to the phone's edges ripping the piece of clothing. While some were quick to call his fabric quality poor, leading to the unfortunate incident, many others shared a similar experience where their clothes were also compromised due to the impractical design of the phone. Some even shared pictures of their ripped jeans, while others suggested getting a cover with rounded edges to avoid such situations.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra remained popular and is considered one of the best phones, which is why many users still own the device and will probably stick to it for a long time. Some owners of the previous model even expressed no desire to switch due to the underwhelming S Pen stylus. While the model was known for its offering, such incidents can truly add to an ill experience for users and compromise the image of the company.
Samsung's notice of the design problem and amendments to the S25 Ultra model show its continued efforts to offer a seamless experience for its users. The Galaxy S25 Ultra, with its rounded edges, provides better grip and comfort and prevents ripped pockets.
