The Galaxy S24 FE has been announced, and now people are looking forward to Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 series, which is expected to be announced at the beginning of next year. The series will likely include a Galaxy S25 Ultra, which is the subject of the latest rumor.

Online Solitaire and Xleaks7 have teamed up to release an image and video of a dummy unit for the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Although it’s not confirmed to be the phone’s final design, it aligns with other leaks and rumors we’ve seen recently about Samsung’s next flagship phone. This gives us the best glimpse yet of what the phone could look like.

The prototype device measures 6.41 by 3.06 by 0.32 inches, which would mean that it is slightly taller, narrower, and thinner than the previous model, the Galaxy S24 Ultra. This indicates that Samsung is prioritizing improvements in the phone’s ergonomics this time.

In September, Android Headlines revealed the first look at the redesigned Galaxy S25 Ultra. The design changes align with previous rumors and indicate that the phone will have a flat design on all four sides this time. The Galaxy S24 Ultra had flat sides at the top and bottom, but slightly rounded ones on the two sides. The dummy unit here also shows a device with four flat sides.

Although the leaked image and video do not provide details about the specific camera specifications of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, they give an idea of what the rear cameras will look like. They show five circular cutouts on the back, indicating a multi-camera setup similar to the one found on the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Numerous leaks about the Galaxy S25 Ultra have occurred in recent days and months. For instance, we recently learned about the phone’s impressive power compared to the newly released iPhone 16 Pro Max. We also received information about the phone’s bezels and how they compare to Apple’s latest flagship.

We have also heard that the Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to be lighter than its predecessor, although its screen size will remain the same as this year’s model, at 6.8 inches.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra should arrive in January or February alongside the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S24 Plus.

Samsung Galaxy S24 users can now download a new software update. Although it’s not the update people have been waiting for, it’s still important.

According to SamMobile, a new software update is being rolled out for the carrier-locked versions of the Galaxy S24, S24 Plus, and S24 Ultra. The firmware version for this update is S92xUSQS4AXJA, and it includes the November 2024 security patch. This update addresses multiple security vulnerabilities, but does not introduce any new features. Instead, it resolves dozens of security issues identified in the previous software version.

Updating your Samsung Galaxy S25 could be easier than ever

When is the last time you updated your phone? Most people wait until it's time for bed, especially since updates can take upwards of an hour. No matter how cool the features might be, losing access to your phone for an extended period of time isn't fun. According to leaker Chun Bhai on X, the next Samsung flagship may come with a feature that makes updating easier and faster than ever.

This feature is called seamless updates. It allows the phone to download and install the update as a background process; you only need to restart your phone once it's finished to activate the update. Some phones have supported this feature for a while, but the only Samsung phone to currently support it is the Galaxy A55. The Galaxy S25 will be the first Samsung flagship to work with seamless updates.

The OnePlus 13 may have already killed the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

Did OnePlus, in October 2024, just announce one of the best smartphones of 2025? It very well may have, because OnePlus has officially launched the OnePlus 13.

Well, sort of. The OnePlus 13 is now available in China, though it'll be a while before it comes to the U.S. and other parts of the world. Although it'll likely be December or January before you and I get our hands on the OnePlus 13, the wait should be worth it. The OnePlus 13 already looks like one of next year's best phones — and it may have simultaneously caused the premature death of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
