We recently got a glimpse of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25 Ultra through renders. However, a prominent source is casting doubt on the complete accuracy of these early depictions.

Ice Universe, a well-known tech leaker, used China’s Weibo platform to break down the details. They compared the renders to CAD files of the previous Galaxy S24 Plus to make it easier to understand.

According to Ice Universe, these CAD files mainly cover the phone’s dimensions and basic component layout but lack crucial details on design elements like bezels, the display, and the earpiece.

You can also see in the shared CAD file, the Galaxy S24 Plus is shown from the front, but there’s no mention of things like bezels or anything. The CAD file also shows the camera’s placement on the back, but it leaves out the texture details within the camera markings. 

Now all the renders we’ve seen about upcoming Samsung flagships come from similar CAD files supplied to tipsters like OnLeaks by industry insiders. While these files give a rough idea of the phone’s design, they miss out on key details like bezels, colors, and finer design elements.

Ice Universe notes that fellow leaker OnLeaks uses information from past Samsung models to estimate the design of the new phone.

The tipster specifically calls out the Galaxy S25 Ultra renders co-created by Android Headlines and OnLeaks, suggesting that the camera ring design might be borrowed from the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and may not reflect the final version. They also hint that details like the antenna line placement and phone color are speculative.

To shows these discrepancies, Ice Universe even shared modified versions of the Galaxy S25 Ultra and S25 renders.

Their adjustments include a more streamlined camera ring design, reduced display bezels, and a barely visible earpiece – details not readily apparent in the original leaks.
