Galaxy S24 Ultra’s Sharp Edges Cause Ripped Pockets, Users Report

Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Ultra faced criticism for its boxy design and sharp edges, which many users found uncomfortable to hold. Now, reports have surfaced that these edges are not just inconvenient, but are also damaging clothing. A user recently shared on Reddit that his jeans pocket was ripped due to the phone’s sharp edges, sparking discussions among other Galaxy S24 Ultra owners who reported similar issues.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra’s boxier shape has been a concern since its release, leading Samsung to revise the design in the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which now features rounded edges for improved ergonomics. While the S24 Ultra remains popular among users, those who chose not to upgrade are still dealing with the design flaws.

Following the Reddit post, opinions were divided—some blamed the fabric quality of the jeans, while others confirmed they had also experienced similar damage. Some users shared images of their ripped pockets, while others recommended using a protective case with rounded edges to prevent further issues.

Darn these sharp edges lol.

Samsung’s Response with S25 Ultra

Samsung appears to have acknowledged these design concerns, as the Galaxy S25 Ultra introduced rounded edges, enhancing both grip and comfort (and even durability). While Samsung’s AI-powered features were the main focus of the S25 series, the ergonomic design changes also gained significant attention.

Despite these issues, the Galaxy S24 Ultra remains a top-tier device, and many users continue to use it, even opting out of an upgrade due to factors like the underwhelming S Pen stylus. However, reports of ripped clothing add to the negative user experience, potentially impacting Samsung’s reputation.
