The Samsung Galaxy S25 series design leak points to a big win for Android gamers

There is no shortage of leaks and rumors floating around Samsung Galaxy S25 series, but the latest takes things into three dimensions. New photos and videos of aluminum dummy models give us the best look yet at the dimensions and design details of the entire Android range.

It’s the Ultra’s design that’s sure to cause the biggest stir. Samsung’s fanciest device has had iconic sharp corners for years, giving it a distinct look that stands out from most other flagship phones. Now that the 2025 model has gotten a rounder design, it will certainly be more comfortable to hold, but it will also lose some of its signature boxy charm. Still, the S24 Ultra makes our list of the best gaming phones on specs alone, so a nicer form factor could make it stand out even more for mobile gamers who spend more time holding their phone horizontally instead from vertical.

The styling, buttons and camera placement remain very similar on the S25 and S25+, but they will both be slimmer than the previous models. The base model S25 is reportedly just 7.25mm thick, down from 7.6mm. Meanwhile, the S25+ will be 7.35mm thick, down from 7.7mm. The top-end S25 Ultra will also be slightly slimmer, but it’s still noticeably chunkier than its siblings. It’s 8.25mm thick, compared to the S24 Ultra’s 8.6mm chassis. Of course, the Ultra is still expected to house an S Pen, and it can only get so slim while leaving plenty of room to store the stylus.

The news comes after Lithuanian site Mokesciu Skaiciuokle (via Android Headlines) posted close-up images and sizing details for these models. Elsewhere, rumors say we could see a mix of Qualcomm and MediaTek flagship chips in these phones, and minimal upgrades to the camera system. It appears the Korean giant is leaning on its software expertise to make these handsets attractive, rather than going all-in on hardware changes.

Either way, we expect more Galaxy S25 rumors ahead of the expected January 2025 launch, provided Samsung doesn’t break tradition by releasing the new devices later this year.
