It is getting to be fever-pitch anticipation for Samsung’s next-generation flagship, the Galaxy S25 line. As the release date of Samsung’s premium lineup approaches, leaks and rumours increasingly give us a picture of what to expect.
The most juicy tidbits include a new Galaxy S25 Ultra look by leaker Jukanlosreve on X (formerly Twitter). The image is far from the entire device’s right side but shows subtle yet meaningful changes to the upcoming Ultra’s user experience.
A More Comfortable Design
The standout revelation from the image is the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s rounded corners and narrower bezels. These tweaks might also help answer a common complaint about the Galaxy S24 Ultra: its boxier shape made it awkward to hold.
Additionally, the edges of the device and the bezels will be softened. These are expected to make the device feel more ergonomic and visually attractive, adding to its premium feel. The touches match with earlier rumours, including a pair of hands-on videos posted to Reddit in late November, which suggested earlier design refinements.
Durability and Display improvements
With the new Galaxy S25 Ultra launch, Samsung is doubling down on durability. It features a second-generation Corning Gorilla Armor, which should translate into enhanced drop resistance and a more efficient anti-reflective coating, improving the viewing experience, even in bright light.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra’s already robust design saw these improvements continue to push towards building a more creative and thoughtful device. At its face value, Samsung’s commitment to durability and usability implies that the S25 Ultra will be a worthy successor in this department.
Gemini Advanced Subscription and AI Integration
The Galaxy S25 series indicates Samsung is really putting its eggs in the artificial intelligence basket. A new leak indicated buyers may also be offered a complimentary Gemini Advanced subscription to get them started on AI.
It aligns with the growing trend of smartphone manufacturers embedding AI power features to improve user experience. Details on what the subscription entitles users to are scarce, but it could mean a gigantic step forward for AI, at least in the realms of photography, productivity, and personalization.
Surprises Await at Unpacked
Leaked or not, Samsung keeps some of the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s features under the hood. Ice Universe says that some of the phone’s AI features remain a mystery. Secrecy will ensure that there will still be surprises when Samsung officially unveils the device in mid-January at its Unpacked event.
What We Know So Far
Here’s a quick summary of the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s rumoured features:
- Design: Better comfort with widened bezels, rounded corners, and narrower bezels.
- Durability: Second-generation Corning Gorilla Armor for better protection and anti-reflective properties.
- AI Features: Future integrations with Gemini Advanced, with even more Features to be revealed at launch.
- Performance: They have upgraded the chipset (no mention of this is given in this leak), and of course, more battery life was mentioned in earlier rumours.
Final Words
Thoughtful design changes, increased durability, and cutting-edge AI make the Galaxy S25 Ultra a significant upgrade over its predecessor. Leaks have given us a pretty picture of what is to come, but with Samsung keeping certain features under wraps, there is still excitement for the big reveal.
The countdown is now officially, as only just a few weeks before the Unpacked event. We will keep you posted on more updates as Samsung prepares to relaunch its next flagship series.
