Samsung won’t like this Galaxy S25 Ultra third-party case leak [Video]
There are over three months left in the Galaxy S25 Ultra debut but frequent leaks may have upset Samsung. The latest leak includes a real-life video of a third-party transparent case, exposing the S25 Ultra design decisions.
IceUniverse posted a video displaying a third-party case of the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The case shows Samsung’s upcoming flagship with slightly rounded corners, a backplate with signature design philosophy, and sides and bottom.
The camera sensor placement is almost similar to previous Galaxy S Ultra models. Samsung refined and upgraded the appearance and internal components with each generation. The next model’s frame could also be flat, inspired by the iPhone.
S Pen slot is also included as confirmed in the recent case leak. CAD renders created confusion about the existence of a stylus slot. However, it will live on in the next Ultra, with even deeper Galaxy AI integration anticipated.

Galaxy S25 Ultra is going to be Apple’s biggest headache. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset features a sharp performance upgrade. Recent benchmark scores outperformed the iPhone 16 Pro Max with a stunning margin.
The next Ultra could have a 200MP wide-angle, 50MP ultrawide, 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and 50MP periscope with 5x optical and 10x optical quality zoom. The ultrawide sensor is upgraded over Galaxy S24 Ultra’s ultrawide.
The design suggests that the S24 Ultra will be the last Samsung flagship with an angular frame design. The curved display was already abandoned with this year’s Ultra, and the flat-screen approach would be continued in future models.
Samsung has integrated Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Ring with AI through phones. The integration further elevates the health monitoring capabilities of its wearables. With this, Galaxy AI presents new ways to manage health with Galaxy Watch and Ring.
This year, Samsung brought its first smart ring – the Galaxy Ring to the market. It comes with many health monitoring features, everything right from your ring. Notably, the device is the ideal companion for detailed sleep monitoring.
Galaxy Ring is powered by advanced sensors and AI sleep algorithms. It offers sleep insights to help people develop healthier sleep habits. The Ring syncs with the Samsung Health app to provide personalized health info without any subscription.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra offers enhanced performance and features suitable for outdoor activities like running or cycling. Additionally, the Galaxy Watch 7 comes with a wealth of wellness insights, allowing users to create their routines.
These features include Multi-sport Workout for triathlon training, Functional Threshold Power (FTP) for cycling using AI-powered data analysis, and an advanced Custom Heart Rate Zone for optimal workout intensity.
The updated BioActive Sensor featured in the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Watch 7 is noteworthy. The optical sensor measures AGEs – an indicator of metabolic health and biological aging strongly influenced by overall lifestyle and dietary habits.
The new Energy Score assesses well-being by monitoring indicators such as activity levels, sleep, heart rate during sleep, and more. Users can make informed health choices, such as deciding whether to take a break or increase their physical activity levels.
