Samsung has already made waves with its first major release of the year, the Galaxy S24 Ultra, but attention is now shifting to the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra. Recent leaks and rumors indicate that Samsung is planning a substantial design overhaul for this model, a trend many smartphone brands are currently embracing. The Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumored to adopt a boxy design, similar to the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and the iPhone 16 Pro Max, but with a more refined finish. Let’s dive into the details.
Rumored Design Changes for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
According to a post by well-known tipster Ice Universe on X (formerly Twitter), the Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to feature a sleeker and more lightweight design. He has shared several images comparing the rumored S25 Ultra with its predecessors, the Galaxy S24 Ultra and Galaxy S23 Ultra. The leaked images suggest that the new model will move away from sharp edges, opting for a look more aligned with the standard Galaxy S series.
Additionally, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra might sport thinner bezels, increasing the display size from 6.79 inches on the S24 Ultra to 6.86 inches. The body width is also speculated to be reduced from 79mm to 77.6mm, contributing to a more compact feel.

Regarding the slimmer and lighter aspect, the Galaxy S25 Ultra could become the thinnest and lightest “Ultra” flagship yet, potentially even slimmer and lighter than the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL (8.5mm thick, 221 grams) and the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro Max, whose exact dimensions are still under wraps until launch.
While these design leaks are exciting, there’s a possibility that to achieve a slimmer profile, Samsung may need to make trade-offs with battery capacity. However, all of this information is speculative, so it’s wise to treat these rumors with caution.
