Interestingly, this leak also features the “Galaxy AI is coming” promo.

Samsung will be bringing many AI-powered tools with the Samsung Galaxy S24 series. Samsung promised that Galaxy AI will bring an AI Live Translate Call feature, which will provide real-time audio and text translations for calls. We can expect more such features to debut with the Galaxy S24 series.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra: Rumours & Leaks
Here’s how Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will look like (via):
These images come from a recent leak of the phone, which reveals that there aren’t many changes to the design of the Ultra when compared to the last Ultra. But we can see that Samsung has improved the bezels on the phone.
The complete spec sheet of the phone has also been leaked, along with the same leak.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will come powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, possibly a custom “for Galaxy” variant of the chipset.
The phone is said to have a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, which is a flat panel as we can see from the renders above. It would support a 120Hz refresh rate, and the peak brightness of the panel is said to go up to 2600 nits. The display will be protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection.
The phone will feature a quad camera setup on the back, which is said to consist of a 200MP primary camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, a 10MP 3X optical zoom lens, and a 50MP 5X telephoto zoom lens. This is slightly different from the Galaxy S23 Ultra, primarily with the telephoto zoom lens.
S24 Ultra is said to carry forward the same 5,000mAh battery and comes with IP68 water and dust resistance. It is also interesting to note that Samsung is following the steps of Apple by bringing titanium for the construction of the S24 Ultra.
