Months before its planned introduction in early 2025, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra, a member of the much awaited Galaxy S25 series, is generating enthusiasm. The design of the smartphone was recently revealed in a video leak that was falsely dubbed “S24 Ultra definitely” but was actually recognized as the S25 Ultra by trustworthy leaker Ice Universe. The leak’s rounded corners, which contrast with Samsung’s flagship models’ customarily harsh edges, are igniting debates about a change in aesthetics.
The curvier design aligns with Samsung’s upcoming One UI 7 software update, which emphasizes rounder UI elements. This coherence between hardware and software suggests a thoughtful integration of design principles. The leaked hands-on video also reveals a glossy finish, metallic edges, and the brand’s signature rear camera layout, corroborating previous leaks involving Galaxy S25 Ultra dummy units.
As seen by Google’s Pixel series, which adopted a more rounded shape with the Pixel 7 lineup, Samsung’s shift to softer edges is consistent with a larger industry trend. In addition to being a cosmetic update, the S25 Ultra’s softer-edged design promises better ergonomics, allaying worries about the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s harsh corners.
Even while the leak has generated a lot of conjecture, not all the information is official. Every year in January or February, Samsung hosts its Unpacked event, where it usually unveils its Galaxy S series. Fans and tech aficionados will have to wait till the design and functionality of the S25 Ultra are confirmed.
If these leaks hold true, the Galaxy S25 Ultra could mark a significant evolution in Samsung’s flagship smartphone line, combining cutting-edge hardware with a more user-friendly design.
