Galaxy S25 renders show Samsung’s sleek yet tiny beast

Galaxy S25 renders reveal the design decisions of Samsung’s next flagship. Recently, we got our first look at the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra. Now, it’s turn for the vanilla model of Samsung’s 2025 flagship lineup.
The Galaxy S25 could feature a 6.17-inch display that could be marketed as 6.2-inch. Despite sporting the same screen size, the phone could be slightly smaller than the S24. This improvement was seemingly made possible by minimizing bezel.
In addition, the Galaxy S25 is said to be slightly smaller and sleeker than its predecessor. The dimensions could measure roughly 146.9 x 70.4 x 7.2mm. The frame could look like the iPhone, featuring a flat frame – the same as the S25 Ultra.

The left frame remains vacant, while you get volume rockers and a power key on the right. The bottom side features a primary mic, USB C-Type port, and speaker grille. The top boasts a secondary microphone for clear calling.
The renders are crafted based on CAD data, which is subject to modification. We don’t expect any major change on the front (display) side of the device. The camera design, specifically the textured ring, could be altered in the next set of renders.
Samsung could launch the Galaxy S25 series in January 2025. The company is said to be using Snapdragon chipset internationally. Due to yield concerns and performance gap with Snapdragon, Exynos 2400 is difficult to ee utilized.

Here’s when to expect One UI 6.1.1 in the US for Galaxy S23, Z Flip/Fold 5 and Tab S9
![Samsung Galaxy S23 One UI 6.1.1 update](https://www.sammyfans.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/s23-ultra-camera-img.jpg)
Samsung today pushed the One UI 6.1.1 for 2023 flagships in South Korea. Samsung will likely expand the One UI 6.1.1 update to the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and Galaxy Tab S9 series in the US next week.
The Korean tech giant has not officially disclosed a certain release timeline. Previous records suggest that the US variants of the Galaxy S23 series, Z Flip 5, Z Fold 5, and Tab S9 series will get One UI 6.1.1 in the US next week.
To solidify the claim, we refer to the recent revelation from Telus. The Canadian carrier is expected to roll out the One UI upgrade to many Galaxies on September 15. We wish Samsung to go beyond expectations and push the update earlier.
On September 5, Samsung announced the expansion of One UI 6.1.1 to the S24 series. The company upgraded the S24 series in South Korea on September 6th, followed by Asia, Europe, and the United States on September 9th.
The update also adds Galaxy AI-powered Composer feature. When you need to write something, you can start by giving Samsung Keyboard’s new Composer a short request or snippet of text, then let Galaxy AI do the rest.
Apart from new Galaxy AI features, Samsung’s new One UI 6.1.1 allows you to design your profile card with your name and picture that other Galaxy users can see when you call them or when they view your contact info.
