Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra aluminum dummy reveals design
Pictures of the aluminum dummy of Galaxy S25 Ultra have been revealed. Samsung is expected to launch its new flagship phones in January next year. The latest leak gives us a closer look at the expected design.
David from @xleaks7 leaked aluminum dummy images of the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The dummy unit showcases that Samsung will feature its signature design in future flagships. The backplate remains the same, but the corners are getting refined further.
The dummy shows S25 Ultra could have five circular cutouts for the camera setup. The front side has thin symmetrical bezels, while the Infinity-O display exists. The earpiece area is also visible above the punch-hole camera cutout.
The dummy unit measures 162.82 x 77.65 x 8.25 mm, aligning with the CAD renders revealed earlier. This means the Galaxy S25 Ultra could be slightly taller, narrower, and thinner than this year’s Galaxy S24 Ultra.
The camera design remains the same but the ultrawide sensor is upgraded. The S25 Ultra is rumored to come with a 50-megapixel ultrawide sensor. The 3x Telephoto and 5x Periscope sensors could be replicated from the S24 Ultra.
Galaxy S25 Ultra will run Android 15-based One UI 7.1 out of the box. Samsung is said to be working on improving system animation and fluency. It will include additional features and enhancements over the Android 15-based One UI 7.
Here’s the video:
Samsung has kicked off the One UI 6.1.1 update for Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus, and Galaxy S22 Ultra smartphones in Brazil. This update is already rolled out for users in Korea, India, Europe, and the US.
One UI 6.1.1 update for the Galaxy S22 series in Brazil can be verified through the One UI build version mentioned below.
- Galaxy S22 – S901EXXUAEXH7
- Galaxy S22 Plus – S906EXXUAEXH7
- Galaxy S22 Ultra – S908EXXUAEXH7
The major One UI update adds new features to improve your smartphone experience. It installs the September 2024 security patch to improve the system’s security and stability.
One UI 6.1.1 introduces Galaxy AI’s Sketch Conversion, which turns simple drawings into artwork in apps like Samsung Notes. It also enhances photos with AI-generated style portraits and adds text auto-completion to the Samsung Keyboard for easier typing.
You can now translate calls in real-time on apps like Google Meet and WhatsApp, and translate text in images with Samsung Internet. Listening Mode helps translate languages during lectures. The update lets you record voice and convert it to text, manage PDFs better, and set wallpapers that change with the weather and time.
Users are advised to install the update promptly to benefit from the improved and new features.

Following these steps will ensure that your Galaxy smartphone is up-to-date with the latest software.
Galaxy S22 series in India grabs One UI 6.1.1 update with new AI features
The first official announcement on Samsung’s Android 15 optimization may come tomorrow. SDC24 is taking place in the US, and what if Samsung refrains from starting public One UI 7.0 Beta Program this year?
Samsung could skip the public One UI 7.0 Beta Program this year. Google has done with optimizing Android 15 for Pixel devices. The Beta trial has already jumped to QPR sessions, with Pixel users getting a Stable update this month.
One UI 6 Beta started in August last year, with a Stable release happening in October. Things are just different this year, as we don’t even have One UI 7’s Beta build. Well, it doesn’t mean Samsung hasn’t done anything in the past few months.
We assume Samsung may have been conducting One UI 7 Beta internally – on a large scale. Rigorous testing would have been underway intending to push the Beta Program on a small scale or keep it to limited models and users.
Android 15 is delayed
Pixel 9 series launched with Android 14, rather than the latest Android 15. The Made by Google event was already held ahead of its usual October timeframe. The company kept the Android release in October but launched the Pixel 9s early.
It is said that Android 15 had some severe issues that may ruin the experience. Google released four major Beta updates, but the Stable release hasn’t taken place so far. Android’s delay has impacted Samsung’s optimization for Galaxy devices.
iOS 18 update is available
Apple, as usual, deployed this year’s major OS upgrade on eligible iPhones. Apple Intelligence features will come out gradually. However, iPhone users are happy with the latest optimizations and features available in iOS 18.
Vivo rolling out Android 15
Vivo defeated Google in the Android 15 rollout race this year. The Chinese firm scheduled to start the release on September 30, but pushed even earlier. As per Vivo’s roadmap, a handful of more smartphones will be updated this month.
Samsung has pushed a new update for the Galaxy A25 5G smartphone, which installs the latest Android security patch released in September 2024 to enhance security and stability. The update is rolling out in Brazil and the company will expand it soon.
September 2024 patch fixes several Samsung and Google vulnerabilities to make the device’s performance smoother. It includes 1 critical issue and 43 high-level ones for Google. One of these issues was already fixed in earlier updates, and another one doesn’t impact Galaxy devices.
In addition, Samsung is adding 23 of its fixes to improve security. These vulnerabilities are mainly related to My Files, Theme Center, One UI Home, Knox, and Dex.
Users of the Samsung Galaxy A25 smartphone can verify the September 2024 security update in Brazil through One UI build version A256EXXS5BXH9. It is an initial rollout so it may take some hours or days to reach all eligible models.
To check for the update, Samsung Galaxy A25 users can go to their phone’s Settings, tap on “Software update,” and then select the “Download and install” option. Make sure to fully charge your phone and connect to a stable network while downloading the update to avoid any issues.
