Recently, we caught a sneak peek of the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25 Ultra through some renderings. However, a well-regarded source is questioning the full accuracy of these initial images.
Ice Universe, a renowned tech insider, took to China's Weibo platform to dissect the specifics. They compared these renderings with CAD files of the earlier Galaxy S24 Plus to make the analysis more comprehensible.
CAD File Limitations
According to Ice Universe, these CAD files primarily outline the phone’s size and basic layout of components, but they omit significant design features like bezels, the display, and the earpiece.
In the shared CAD file, the Galaxy S24 Plus is depicted from the front, but elements such as bezels are not mentioned. The CAD file also shows the camera's position on the back but leaves out texture details within the camera markings.
Render Accuracy and Speculation
The renders we’ve observed for the upcoming Samsung flagships originate from similar CAD files provided to tipsters like OnLeaks by industry insiders. Although these files offer a basic idea of the phone’s design, they lack key details like bezels, colors, and finer design features.
Ice Universe points out that fellow leaker OnLeaks utilizes information from older Samsung models to predict the design of the new phone.
The tipster particularly critiques the Galaxy S25 Ultra renderings co-created by Android Headlines and OnLeaks, suggesting that the camera ring design might be inspired by the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and may not represent the final product. They also imply that details like antenna line placement and phone color are conjectural.
Modified Renderings
To illustrate these inconsistencies, Ice Universe even shared altered versions of the Galaxy S25 Ultra and S25 renderings.
Their modifications feature a more refined camera ring design, minimized display bezels, and a barely noticeable earpiece—details that were not immediately visible in the original leaks.
