Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra might get a bold design overhaul. The phone will have slightly rounded corners, unlike the sharper ones in previous models. The device would surely beat its opponent in the 2025 flagship smartphone market.
IceUniverse posted an image that aligns with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra design. The image is based on the recent authentic leaks that surfaced about the phone. We expect to see prototype-based CAD renders in the next few months.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra could ditch sharp corners in favor of slightly rounded ones. This design change is aimed at addressing the concern of crushing palm. Users complain that the sharp corner makes it difficult to use the phone single-handedly.
Despite removing sharp corners, the Galaxy S25 Ultra will continue to feature S Pen. The body will have a dedicated compartment for the stylus, meaning the Note spirit will live on. Bezels could be symmetrical, offering an elegant feel on the front.
As per the previous reports, the Galaxy S25 Ultra could continue 5000mAh battery and 45W fast charging. The camera and display segments are said to see a major revamp – aimed at upgrading the overall user experience.
The phone could get a 50-megapixel ultrawide and 50-megapixel 3X telephoto. The 200-megapixel camera could be the same as the previous model, while the 50-megapixel periscope and front camera will also remain unchanged.
In addition, the Ultra model will be equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 for Galaxy. Qualcomm has fueled the chipset with a new Oryon CPU, which is said to bring significant performance improvements – rivalling Apple’s flagship SoC.
