Samsung’s forthcoming tablets, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S10 Plus, recently appeared on China’s 3C certification platform. Now, a fresh Samsung smartphone with model number SM-S9380 has surfaced in the 3C database. Since the Galaxy S24 Ultra was identified with the SM-S9280 model number, it is reasonable to predict that the SM-S9380 corresponds to the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra. Alongside this, prominent leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer, also known as OnLeaks, has unveiled a render to provide a glimpse of its design.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra 3C Certification
The 3C certification for the Galaxy S25 Ultra confirms it will maintain the 45W charging capability of its predecessors. Like the S24 Ultra, the S25 Ultra’s retail package will not come with a charger. Notably, this certification also highlights support for satellite connectivity, making the S25 Ultra Samsung’s first phone to feature satellite communication.
Design Insights and Render Accuracy
The CAD renders of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, shared by OnLeaks in partnership with AndroidHeadlines, indicate that Samsung enthusiasts should not anticipate a major design overhaul compared to the S24 Ultra. However, another trusted leaker, Ice Universe, has pointed out that these renders aren’t entirely accurate due to discrepancies in the camera ring’s design, texture, bezels, and metal frame.
The device is reportedly going to measure 162.8 x 77.6 x 8.2mm, contrasting with the S24 Ultra’s dimensions of 162.3 x 79 x 8.6mm. Consequently, the S25 Ultra is a bit taller, narrower, and thinner than the S24 Ultra. The S24 Ultra weighs 232 grams, whereas its successor is lighter at 219 grams. Despite these changes, it retains the same screen size at 6.8 inches. Below is a revised version of the S25 Ultra’s CAD render by Ice Universe.
Specifications and Camera Setup
Reports suggest that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 for Galaxy processor and will include a 5,000mAh battery. Its camera array is anticipated to feature the same 200-megapixel primary camera as the S24 Ultra, a new 50-megapixel ISOCELL JN3 ultra-wide lens, a new 50-megapixel telephoto camera offering 3x optical zoom, and a periscope telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom.
