Samsung releases always find themselves in the trending section of the news.

If not the actual product release, we hear about the upcoming line-ups through constant leaks throughout the year.

Recent leaks are about Samsung’s next flagship, the Galaxy S25 series.

Let’s see what we have got.

One of the most talked-about future features when it comes to Samsung flagships is the possibility of having more rounded edges for the high-end Galaxy S25 Ultra.

It appears Samsung has finally decided to walk that route.

A new leak offers a peek at these potential design changes.

The popular Samsung leaker Ice Universe @UniverseIce has posted on X (previously Twitter) and shared mock images of the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra.

The mock-ups reveal a more rounded design, which is a noticeable shift from the sharper edges seen on the previous generation model – Galaxy S24 Ultra.

The leaker has shared multiple images of comparison that give a fair idea of what to expect from the next-in-line Samsing flagship in terms of design upgrades.

For years, Apple’s Pro Max models and Samsung’s Ultra models have been fierce competitors in the flagship market, and it seems this rivalry will continue with the new releases.

We got to take a look at how the upcoming Samsung flagship would look next to the highly-anticipated iPhone 16 Pro Max.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra might have more design tweaks beyond just the rounded edges. However, all of that is mere speculation at the moment.

The same leaker, Ice Universe @UniverseIce on X, recently hinted at an interesting twist in the phone’s middle frame design.

Instead of being entirely straight or curved, the S25 Ultra could feature a rounded back with a straighter front near the display.

It’s also expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, which promises faster speeds with its redesigned architecture.
