Samsung’s next big release is just around the corner and every day there is a new update of the upcoming lineup. It has been almost confirmed that the Korean company will be launching the Samsung Galaxy S25 series in the second half of January. However, what most reports haven’t been able to confirm yet is when the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be launched.

This new update is not about the launch timeline though.

It appears Samsung is taking screen durability and visibility to the next level with its upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra. Following the success of the Galaxy S24 Ultra introduced Corning’s Gorilla Glass Armor with an anti-reflective coating, we are now getting reports that the upcoming S25 Ultra will debut with second-generation Gorilla Glass Armor.

According to a recent leak from Ice Universe on X (formerly Twitter), the Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumoured to launch on January 22 and will exclusively feature this upgraded glass.

Like its predecessor, the new version will retain anti-reflective properties, which made the S24 Ultra’s screen the least reflective in smartphone history. This improvement significantly enhances usability, especially in bright environments.

While the leak doesn’t specify the exact enhancements, it’s reasonable to expect even better anti-reflective performance and increased durability. These upgrades will continue to set Samsung’s flagship apart as a leader in display technology.

If you’ve ever used the Galaxy S24 Ultra, you’ll know how noticeable the difference is. Place it next to any other phone and the reduced reflections are immediately apparent.

This not only helps users with light-sensitive eyes but also makes the screen appear brighter without increasing the display’s nits. The screen doesn’t have to fight reflections by reducing glare to maintain brightness and create a more comfortable viewing experience.

FAQs

Q1. When is the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra rumoured to launch?

Answer. According to a recent leak, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumoured to launch on January 22, 2025.

Q2. What new feature will the Galaxy S25 Ultra have for screen durability?

Answer. The Galaxy S25 Ultra will debut with second-generation Gorilla Glass Armor featuring improved anti-reflective coating.

Q3. How will the new anti-reflective properties of the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s screen benefit users?

Answer. The new anti-reflective properties will significantly enhance usability, especially in bright environments, reduce reflections and create a more comfortable viewing experience without increasing the display’s nits.

It appears Samsung has addressed some common issues including controlling HDR brightness and improving device integration with One UI 7. While the HDR toggle is live for beta users, features like camera continuity are still in progress but hold great promise for Galaxy users. Here’s everything we know about both features as per recent reports.

Turn Off Brightness HDR with One UI 7

HDR content can be stunning but watching it in a dark room late at night can feel like staring into the sun. Until now, Android users haven’t had a way to turn off HDR content system-wide. With Samsung’s One UI 7, Galaxy users finally get this much-needed option.

A new toggle in the Settings > Advanced features > Super HDR section allows users to disable “Super HDR.”

Samsung describes this feature as saying, “Automatically adjust the display to show the full range of colours and contrast in pictures taken with Galaxy devices.”

While the description might seem vague, this toggle works system-wide reducing the brightness of HDR content in all apps and not just Samsung’s Gallery app. It’s even effective in third-party apps like Instagram, although you might need to restart the app after changing the setting for it to take effect.

A recent Android Authority report explains that Samsung’s “Super HDR” is based on Google’s “Ultra HDR” format used by many third-party apps and other brands. This means the toggle affects all HDR content and not just photos taken on Galaxy devices.

For now, this feature is available only on One UI 7, Samsung’s Android 15 update is currently in beta for the Galaxy S24 series. Samsung plans to roll out the update to more devices in 2025 likely including this HDR toggle.

Easily Share Photos Between Galaxy Phones and Galaxy Books With One UI 7

Samsung is also enhancing its ecosystem integration with a new feature in One UI 7 that simplifies sharing photos between Galaxy phones and Galaxy Books.

According to a recent Android Authority report, the update introduces “camera continuity,” a tool that lets users paste recently taken photos directly from their Galaxy phone into apps like Samsung Notes or Samsung Internet on Galaxy Books. This is especially useful for scanning documents or sending handwritten notes without using Quick Share or other file-sharing tools.

The feature will live under the “continue on other devices” settings in One UI 7. It expands on existing perks like text copying and Wi-Fi sharing between Galaxy devices.

Currently, camera continuity isn’t fully functional. While it’s available on Galaxy S phones running the One UI 7 beta, it hasn’t yet made its way to Galaxy Book devices.

However, it promises a smoother workflow across Samsung’s ecosystem once fully implemented.

One of the most noticeable changes is the curved design of the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Moving away from the squared-off edges inspired by the Galaxy Note series, this year’s Ultra features rounded corners that align with the rest of the Galaxy S lineup.

When it comes to colour, Samsung seems to be playing it safe with its new “blue” colourway for the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Leaked by Ice Universe, the so-called blue shade is so subtle it appears closer to grey.


Samsung has dabbled in subtle and pastel shades before particularly in its Samsung.com exclusives. However, this new tone takes subtlety to the extreme making even Google Pixel’s soft pastel hues look bold by comparison.

In a mockup by 9to5Google, based on leaked renders from dbrand, the “blue” appears to have only the faintest hint of blue over an otherwise grey base.
