A new leak from the tech tipster Ice Universe reveals an important design change for the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra. In a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), the tipster shows a jelly case for the phone with rounded corners on all sides.
Samsung transitioned from a rounded form of the S21 Ultra to a sharper, 90-degree corner with the S22 Ultra and subsequent releases. However, the change wasn’t universally well received by users, who found the squarer design less comfortable to hold.

But it looks like Samsung is finally listening to users feedback and returning to a more ergonomic approach with the S25 Ultra.
The video confirms the presence of noticeably rounded corners on the S25 Ultra case. While not quite as pronounced as the S21 Ultra, it’s noticeably more than the S22 through S24 Ultra. This design should make the phone more comfortable to hold, especially for users who find the sharp corners uncomfortable.
Beyond the ergonomic shift, the S25 Ultra is also expected to come with thinner bezels that will reportedly be even slimmer than the recently announced iPhone 16 Pro Max.
We’re unsure about this change, though, as many users have reported accidental touches on the 16 Pro Max due to its slim bezels. With the S25 Ultra likely to have even slimmer bezels, it’s possible that a similar issue could arise for its users as well.
On a positive note, the device may get a trim down in terms of thickness and weight. It is said to measure 8.2mm and weigh 219 grams, down from 8.6mm and 232 grams of weight. It will also have a slightly narrower profile (77.6mm vs. 79.0mm) while keeping the same 5000mAh battery capacity.
Galaxy S25 Ultra Specifications (Expected)
Let’s talk about the rest of the specs of the phone, that we know of, of course.
Unlike previous generations that utilized a mix of Qualcomm Snapdragon and Samsung’s Exynos processors, reports suggest the S25 series will adopt the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 across all models.
The 3C certification reveals the phone will have 45W charging support like its predecessor. It will also come with satellite communication support, a first for any Samsung phone.
Its camera setup is expected to include the same 200-megapixel primary camera from S24 Ultra, a new 50-megapixel ISOCELL JN3 ultra-wide lens, a new 50-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, and a periscope telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom.
