The Galaxy S24 may adopt a new design, and the Samsung design department will be headed by Lee Yi-hwan, former chief design officer of Mercedes-Benz.

CTOnews.com, December 31 (Xinhua) consumers who choose high-end mobile phones value not only strong hardware and smooth software, but also important assistants to improve productivity and lifestyle. In order to provide a more high-end ecological experience, Samsung recently hired Hubert H. Lee, former chief design officer of Mercedes-Benz China, and appointed executive vice president and head of the MX (mobile experience) design team.

Mercedes-Benz can be said to be a very well-known luxury car brand in the automotive industry, while Li Yihuan has worked in Mercedes-Benz for more than 20 years and has rich design experience.

CTOnews.com learned that the contact between the two sides was not sudden. Samsung partnered with Mercedes-Benz earlier this year to launch a limited edition Galaxy S22 Ultra, though it is only available in South Korea. Samsung may have taken this opportunity to have an in-depth communication with Li Yihuan and finally decided to recruit him.

Lee Yi-hwan's position at Samsung is the head of the MX design team, which means he is likely to design the Galaxy Z Fold 5, which will be launched in the fall of 2023, and the Galaxy S24 series, which will be launched in the fall of 2023, and the Galaxy S24 series, which will be launched in 2024. Li Yihuan said in a statement that he was very excited to join Samsung.
