Prominent leaker Ice Universe recently shared some hands-on photos of the Galaxy S25 Ultra dummy model. This model appears to be aimed at case manufacturers, and these dummy versions typically reflect the actual device. The images indicate that the new Samsung Snapdragon 8 Elite flagship will feature rounded corners, a detail that earlier reports have also pointed out.
Rounded Corners for One UI 7
According to Ice Universe, One UI 7 will look great with these rounded corners, as the right-angle design of the S24 Ultra "can't show the beauty of" its animations properly. In a different post on X, the leaker mentioned that with the introduction of rounded corners, the "R angle" of the screen animations will be uniform across the user interface, while the sharp corners of the S24 Ultra create inconsistency.
Improved Handling and Size
Moreover, rounded corners usually provide a more comfortable grip, and the leaker has observed that the Galaxy S25 Ultra seems a bit larger than the S24 Plus. For context, the Galaxy S24 Plus has a 6.7-inch display, while the S24 Ultra is equipped with a 6.8-inch screen (256 GB currently priced at $949.99 on Amazon).
Changes in Display and Weight
Previously, Ice Universe mentioned that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will feature a 6.86-inch display, which will feel noticeably bigger than its predecessor due to thinner bezels. Earlier reports also suggested that this upcoming flagship will be lighter, weighing in at 219 grams compared to the 232 grams of the previous model.
Camera Configuration Similar to S24 Ultra
In terms of design, the back of the dummy model maintains the same camera setup as the S24 Ultra. Additionally, while leaked renders from OnLeaks imply that the camera rings may resemble those of the Z Fold 6, the new hands-on photos suggest that the camera rings will actually be identical to those of the previous model.
Ice Universe shared this info on Weibo (translated from Chinese) and on X (tweet embedded above).
