Samsung is a company that likes to release phones throughout the year, but there’s definitely something special about its S series flagship. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, on the other hand, is claimed to have surfaced for the first time not just a certification website but also its alleged renders. Let’s dive into the details.

Leaks About the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

As for the latter, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra renders have appeared through a report by AndroidHeadlines that quotes popular tipster OnLeaks. That said, a noted tipster by the name of Ice Universe has observed that the renders may not be 100% true to life based on some peculiarities.

The leaked renders also show a design that looks like it is quite significant in changing the overall look of the phone as well. Unlike its predecessor, which featured a flat top and bottom with rounded sides, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra could have flat sides on all four edges. Reports suggest the phone will be thinner and lighter, but despite the altered dimensions, the display size will remain unchanged thanks to the even slimmer bezels. The phone will measure 162.8×77.6×8.2mm and weigh in at 219 grams.

The report also revealed a few possible specs of the Galaxy S25 Ultra in addition to design leaks, such as referencing the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset and an upgraded battery at around 5,000mAh. The phone may retain the 200MP primary camera from the S24 Ultra but with new additions like a 50MP ISOCELL JN3 ultra-wide lens and a 50MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, along with a periscope telephoto lens offering 5x optical zoom.

A device with model number SM-S9380 was recently spotted on China’s 3C certification site, which is believed to be the Galaxy S25 Ultra. This model number is similar to the Galaxy S24 Ultra (SM-S9280). The certification confirms 45W charging, similar to the S24 Ultra. Interestingly, the certification also reveals that the Galaxy S25 Ultra may support satellite connectivity, potentially making it Samsung’s first device to offer this feature.
