Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: Design Leaks and Rumors
We still have some time to wait for the Samsung Galaxy S25 series launch, but in the meantime, the leaks keep coming. The most recent suggests that the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra could receive a design overhaul that makes Samsung's premium flagship easier to hold than ever.
Several images surfaced over the weekend from noted leaker Ice Universe, showing off an alleged Galaxy S25 Ultra case. Based on the images, it looks like the Galaxy S25 Ultra will ditch the sharp corners of the Galaxy S24 Ultra and adopt a more rounded design, making it more comfortable to hold. The design features three cutouts for sensors—presumably the primary, ultrawide, and periscope lenses—lined up vertically in one column, while three smaller cutouts for the laser autofocus, LED flash, and 3x telephoto camera sit adjacent.
Compared to the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the camera cutouts are noticeably larger and closer together, while the entire camera module appears shifted closer to the top-left corner of the phone's back. For reference, the current Galaxy S24 Ultra packs a main 200MP camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, a 10MP telephoto lens with 3X optical zoom, and a new 50MP telephoto camera with 5X optical zoom. Based on leaks so far, it seems that camera improvements are at the top of Samsung's list for the S25 Ultra, making it an early contender for the best camera phone title.
This echoes a previous Galaxy S25 Ultra leak from June, which suggested that it would have a more rounded shape, reminiscent of the Galaxy Note 7 from 2016. Additionally, it could feature thinner bezels than even the iPhone 16 Pro Max, according to the latest rumors. However, despite the talk of rounded designs, Samsung has made it clear that it has no plans to bring back curved screens.
