Galaxy S25 Ultra camera design revealed in alleged cover images
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra could continue to feature a camera design like its predecessor. The company is working on its 2025 flagship lineup, scheduled to be released in January. A tipster leaked cover images, showcasing the design.
IceUniverse posted a handful of alleged Galaxy S25 Ultra cover images. The images are seemingly of third-party silicon covers for the next Ultra. The corners are no longer angular/sharp, solidifying the design shown in CAD renders.
The backplate could have the same sensor arrangement as the S24 Ultra. Three sensors; ultrawide, primary, and periscope could be placed vertically, followed by laser autofocus, LED flash, and the 3x telephoto camera.
The change could be in the camera ring design, which is yet to be exactly revealed. In the CAD renders, the phone featured Galaxy Z Fold 6-like rings. However, tipster IceUniverse claimed the rings will look similar to the S24 Ultra.
We can also see the volume rockers and power key on the right side of the frame. The bottom side could have an S Pen slot, USB Type-C port, primary microphone, and speaker grill. A SIM card slot could also be available in the consumer unit.
The smartphone is said to have an upgraded ultrawide camera. The S24 Ultra’s ultrawide sensor is said to be replaced with a new 50-megapixel solution. The 3x Telephoto was also rumored to be replaced with a 50MP sensor, but it’s not happening.
Galaxy S25 Ultra will be equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 for Galaxy chip. Qualcomm’s next-gen processor will be announced next month. It will likely to surpass Apple iPhone 16 Pro’s A18 Pro chip in terms of CPU and GPU performance.
