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.

Google and Samsung are yet to release Android 15 and One UI 7 Beta for Pixel and Galaxy devices. Meanwhile, a new rumor suggests Android 16 could come sooner than expected, indicating an early One UI 8 arrival too.
According to AndroidAuthority, Google could release the next Android in Q2 2025. If Android 16 debuts months ahead of the usual timeframe, other vendors could also speed up their device optimization, such as Galaxy’s One UI 8.
In addition to the release, the report also talks about the codename of the next OS. Mishaal believes the Android 16 looks to be codenamed “Baklava.” Android 15 was “vanilla ice cream” or “VIC” and Android 16 is rumored to be codenamed “Baklava.”
- Baklava is a flaky pastry associated with Armenian, Greek, Iranian, Turkish, and other cuisines.
While Android 15 coming in mid-October 2024, Google released Android 14 on October 4, 2023, Android 13 on August 15, 2022, Android 12 on October 4, 2021, Android 11 on September 8, 2020, and Android 10 on September 3, 2019.
As One UI completely relies on Android, delay and early arrival are also dependent. Android 16 release in the second quarter would be unusual for Google, which usually releases major Android versions in August, September, or October.
It’s crazy to talk about One UI 8 when we don’t have any sign of One UI 7 Beta. Samsung is continuously testing the new version. Meanwhile, the company has missed its usual August release timeframe, and September also ended.
Samsung will hold this year’s Developer Conference on October 3. We expect important announcements regarding the One UI 7 and One UI 6 Watch for Galaxy users. Beta Program is coming or not – would also be confirmed.
