End of Note? Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra could be as round as Note 7

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra could have rounded edges like the Note 7 smartphone. It is the most controversial mobile product in Samsung’s history. However, the handset’s design is reportedly under consideration for next year’s Galaxy S Ultra.

According to IceUniverse, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra could look like the Note 7. It would not have sharp corners to crush your palm. Rather, it would have a rounded frame design, returning to the design approach stopped with the Galaxy S21 Ultra.

In addition, the same source also revealed the S25 Ultra could be the thinnest Samsung flagship in recent years. Compared to previous flagships (S21 Ultra to S24 Ultra), the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be significantly thinner, hitting at a weight reduction too.

It’s worth noting that the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra was 8.1mm thick. Meanwhile, the S21 Ultra to S23 Ultra is 8.9mm, while the S24 Ultra is 8.6mm. However, the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to have a body thickness of 8.4mm.

The next year’s Samsung flagships may introduce radical design changes. In terms of hardware, the company is rumored to adopt MediaTek chipset in place of Exynos alongside Snapdragon. The Ultra model is also expected to be equipped with three camera of 50MP resolution.

The Korean tech giant usually launches its new Galaxy S lineup in the first quarter of every year. If the same strategy continues, we will see an Unpacked in January next year. As the gap is still long, things may change as the production hasn’t yet been finalized.
