Recent leaks from prominent tech insider Steve Hemmerstoffers (@OnLeaks) have revealed significant design changes for Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra, marking a departure from its predecessor’s aesthetic while maintaining the brand’s commitment to innovation.
The most notable change in the Galaxy S25 Ultra is the adoption of fully flat side rails, abandoning the soft curves that characterized the edges of previous models. This design shift brings the Ultra variant in line with its siblings, the Galaxy S24 and S24+ models, suggesting a more unified design language across Samsung’s flagship lineup.
The device specifications show notable improvements:
• Dimensions: 162.8 x 77.6 x 8.2mm (more compact than predecessor)
• Weight: 219g (13g lighter than S24 Ultra)
• Display: 6.8-inch (maintained despite smaller form factor)
• Frame Material: Titanium
• RAM: 12GB
• Display Technology: AMOLED with 120Hz refresh rate
Android Headlines has revealed that the new series will be available in various colorways, with the Ultra model offering black, gray, and two silvery options featuring white or blue tints. The standard S25 and S25+ models will come in light blue, dark blue, light green, and silver variants.
The camera system receives significant upgrades, featuring an improved 50MP ultrawide lens and enhanced telephoto capabilities. The Ultra model’s camera array includes:
• 200MP main camera
• 50MP ultrawide lens
• 50MP periscope telephoto lens
• 10MP telephoto lens
Industry analysts note that this evolution follows Samsung’s pattern of incremental updates while maintaining its competitive position in the premium smartphone market. The potential removal of the physical SIM slot in favor of eSIM technology mirrors similar moves by competitors in the smartphone market.
The entire S25 series will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, representing Samsung’s commitment to delivering consistent high performance across all models. While maintaining the S Pen functionality in the Ultra model, the design modifications aim to improve handling without compromising the device’s premium features.
The Galaxy S25 series is expected to launch in early 2025, continuing Samsung’s traditional release schedule for its flagship devices. These developments suggest Samsung’s strategic focus on balancing innovative features with practical design improvements, while maintaining its competitive position in the premium smartphone market.
