I am using the S23 and a phone case and it fits into my mini Kelly and there's still some space. The S24 is slightly larger than the S23.
It fits my phone (Samsung Zflip6) -or- keys, lip balm, Driver's License, CC, Cash, single-use wet wipes and a bag hook. I usually carry my phone in my hand so it fits all my necessities.
I looked up specs for your phone vs mine and I believe they're very similar in size.
It fits my key fob, iPhone 14 Pro (not max) with case, either a calvi or a Clic H cardholder, and a lipstick. I can two SLGs plus the other items if I hold my phone in my hand.

Just got a mini kelly, does anyone feel like the bag is hard to get in and out of because the inner lining is so tight on the flap? When I open the bag, theres a lot of tension on the bend where the bag opens and closes. Any advice is appreciated. My MK is in box leather if that helps. Thanks!
Hi! This issue would be because of the box leather . It’s such a stiff leather but that’s how it makes such gorgeous structured bags . I have a box Kelly 25 and it is also difficult to get in and out of, but I don’t have to stretch the opening that much as the ‘mouth’ of the bag is bigger. I have an Epsom Mini kelly and it is definitely easier than the box K25. My other bags in chèvre/evercolor are easier than both the above.
That was what actually deterred me from getting a mini Kelly in box because I envisioned it would be darn difficult to get in and out of !
It is such a gorgeous and hard to get bag though, so congratulations!! May I ask the color ?
Ditto, my K25 in box is so hard to get in/out. I even have a hard time closing the turnlock.
Both my MKII in Epsom started out stiff but softened quickly with use.
MKII in box is breathtaking though. And it doesn’t fit anything anyway so does it really matter if you can open it or not
So true ! Everytime I want to close the turn lock (of my K25 box) it’s like I’m wrestling the bag .Ditto, my K25 in box is so hard to get in/out. I even have a hard time closing the turnlock.

Its in blue sapphire. It seems like its more the inner lining thats making it hard to open than the actual box leather. Super grateful still!
Yes, it's very hard to open and close. I just either leave it open or just have the sangles under the flap and have the turnlock closed.
What a beautiful color and uncommon too!
May I ask why you attribute it to the inner lining? I’m just curious because maybe then it’s a different issue to the rest of us who collectively recognise the stiffness is due to the box leather itself . And if it’s a different issue then of course should be addressed/studied by the store.
When I open the bag, where the flap bends, the inner lining and the outer leather separate and theres so much tension there and it almost creates a bubble.
