With the Galaxy S25 Ultra now almost two months away, we can expect the leaks around it to accelerate. We have been monitoring rumors for a long time and the majority of them point to a redesign.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra will likely do away with the sharp corners of its predecessors for subtly curved edges. Even though the phone won't be as rounded at the edges as the base and Plus models, which are likely to retain the design of their predecessors, the gentle curve should be enough to improve its in-hand feel.
It has also been widely rumored that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will not have the rounded side frame of its predecessors. And while leaker Ice Universe has been saying that the phone will not have completely flat sides, it seems increasingly likely, with images of dummy units posted by reliable tipster Steve H.McFly showcasing flat frames, like the ones on the regular models.

The new flat design will hopefully make the phone feel narrower in your hand, further improving ergonomics. The straight side rails may also make the bezels appear thinner than they actually are because the curved frames of the Galaxy S24 Ultra sometimes give an illusion of wide borders. In related bezel news, the phone is rumored to have thinner bezels than most other top 2024 phones.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumored to be powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset in all markets. The chipset will reportedly be paired with 16GB of RAM. It might swap out the 12MP ultrawide camera for a 50MP unit.
