Short summary

A dummy of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has surfaced, giving a good insight into the expected design of the future Samsung phone.

The new device is believed to have a narrower bezel but essentially the same design as before.

With the next generation of Samsung’s flagship Android phone expected to launch in January 2025, it’s no surprise that we’re hearing more and more about it. Today we’re looking at an alleged Galaxy S25 Ultra dummy that reveals plenty of details about the upcoming phone.

Samsung is expected to stick to its three-device strategy with the Galaxy S25, giving us the regular phone, the Galaxy S25 Plus, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra as the new hero device. These new details come from xleaks7 (via GSMArena), which claims to have insider knowledge of Samsung’s plans.

The casting shows us that the leaks of an iPhone-like, square device appear to be correct, albeit with more rounded corners, while reports that it is thinner and lighter also appear to be correct. The dimensions of the phone are stamped on the front of the dummy unit and state that it measures 162.82 x 77.65 x 8.25mm. It has been reported that the phone will weigh 219g.

This makes the Galaxy S25 Ultra slightly smaller than the Galaxy S24 Ultra and also lighter.

On the back of the phone we see the familiar position of the five camera components as well as the position of the wireless charging coil.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra specifications according to leaks

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra could offer more screen space without becoming larger thanks to shrinking bezels. Previous leaks suggest that it will offer a 6.9-inch display, matching the iPhone 16 Pro Max. But it will also have a peak brightness of 3,000 nits.

The S25 Ultra is expected to come with the latest and greatest Snapdragon hardware, which could be described as Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy. The whole thing could be powered by a 5,000mAh battery augmented by an AI battery boost feature. Charging could be done at 65W, which would significantly increase Samsung’s charging speed.

There is expected to be a 200-megapixel main camera, but the remaining cameras will be supported by 50-megapixel sensors.

Ultimately, it looks like Samsung is sticking with a tried-and-tested formula when it comes to design – but where the company will go with new AI features remains to be seen.
