This viral Galaxy S25 Ultra image is fake

An alleged Galaxy S25 Ultra image is going viral, which is completely fake. Samsung could launch the flagship next year, but as we approach the release timeframe, the leaks and rumors start to float more intensively.

Southeast Asian countries always become the first to expose upcoming handsets. We’ve seen many cases with Google’s upcoming smartphones. Meanwhile, the S25 Ultra image that surfaced in a Vietnam-based Facebook group is far from reality.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra will have a quad camera on the back. The viral image has only three camera sensors on the rear side, lacking the 3x Telephoto. The ring is almost identical to the Galaxy Z Fold 6, accompanied by a dedicated island.

The volume button and power key also look weird in the leaked image. Samsung will be using a durable and lighter frame made of Titanium material. It would look rough like the S24 Ultra’s frame, not shiny like the S23 Ultra.

Earlier, aluminum dummy units of the S25 and S25 Ultra leaked online. The images revealed that the S25 Ultra corners won’t be as rounded as we expected. The sharp corners will just become rounded, not the same way as S25 and S25 Plus.

Samsung considering new flagship brand

Samsung is reportedly considering retiring Galaxy branding. The decision would only be for flagship smartphones. If the report’s input materializes, we could see the future flagship with a brand-new identity beyond Galaxy.
