Leaked Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra renders hint at design changes

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to officially launch early next year, but there are currently numerous rumors floating around the web regarding the flagship’s new design. The Galaxy S25 Ultra first leaked via CAD-based renders back in March, and now we have a new set of renders that reveal its side profile. The latest images show the Galaxy S25 Ultra with rounded corners and flat sides. Much like the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the upcoming handset also appears to feature a selfie camera hole-punch cutout at the top of the display.

Tipster Ice Universe posted alleged renders of the unannounced Galaxy S25 Ultra on X (formerly Twitter). The renders show the phone with narrow bezels and a hole punch display design. It appears to have flat sides similar to the recently Meizu released smartphones. The images show the handset with a more rounded design than the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The rounded corners are likely intended to increase the comfort when holding the device.

The same tipster previously claimed that the Galaxy S25 Ultra would feature a more rounded design. Still, this would be quite a design change for Samsung. The South Korean brand has been using a blocky design for its S-series Ultra phones since the Galaxy S22 Ultra.
