The Samsung Galaxy S25 has been on our radar for quite a while now, especially with a potential new design, AI functionality, and a whole slew of other awesome features. Its display has been a special topic of conversation with leaker Ice Universe’s info drops, and now we have even more solid news: The tipster posted pictures of the actual displays online.

Ice Universe’s picture shows the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra laid out side-by-side. The image confirms the theorized thinner bezels and the Ultra’s rounded corners. It’s not easy to gauge size based on a picture, but it’s evident that the S25 Ultra is larger than the other two models. That said, Ice Universe previously suggested the display would be roughly 6.9 inches along the diagonal. This most recent shot lends credence to that.

All three displays have a single punch-hole camera in the top center. Unfortunately, we can’t tell anything else based on these images alone. Without a look at the back, it’s hard to judge whether the rumored camera sensors are on the way.

We’re still making educated guesses about the rest of the S25 Ultra’s specs. It’s been rumored that Samsung will use the Exynos 2500 chip, but there have been reports that Samsung is facing production difficulties and might opt instead to use a Qualcomm chip for all three devices.

Estimates give the Galaxy S25 a starting price of around $799 and the S25 Plus a price of $999. Going by these estimates — and the fact that Samsung bumped up the price of the S24 Ultra — it’s possible that the S25 Ultra might start around $1,299.

We won’t know the final details on pricing or the chip used until closer to the phone’s launch, which should occur sometime around January or February next year.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is not likely to be revealed until early next year. However, that hasn't stopped a flood of rumors from circulating in recent months. The latest one comes from someone familiar, Ice Universe.

According to the leaker, the Galaxy S25 Ultra has bested Apple's recently released iPhone 16 Pro Max in terms of benchmarks. A result shared with Ice Universe showed that the phone achieved a single-core score of 3,011 and a multi-core result of 9,706. By contrast, its predecessor, the Galaxy S24 Ultra, has an average single-core score of 2,142 and an average multi-core score of 6,693. These are both significant jumps from one generation to the next.

Samsung just announced the Galaxy S24 FE, and it’s a weird one

This has already been a tremendously busy year for Samsung, but the company isn't done quite yet. Today, Samsung announced its newest smartphone, the Galaxy S24 FE. Like previous FE versions of its phones, the Galaxy S24 FE is essentially a version of the Galaxy S24 Plus with lesser specs at a lower price. But is it any good? Looking at the spec sheet, it's ... interesting.

Like the S24 Plus, the S24 FE has a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display. You also get a 120Hz refresh rate, though the resolution is scaled back to 2340 x 1080 (Full HD) instead of the 3120 x 1440 (Quad HD) panel on the S24 Plus. It should still be a quality panel, though just a bit softer than that of its more expensive sibling.

There hasn’t been much news about the Samsung Galaxy Ring since its launch in July. However, that’s about to change as Samsung is now preparing to release an update for the wearable device. Unfortunately, this first update is tiny, as RydahDoesTech appears to be the first to have discovered.

According to the notes, the less than 1-megabyte update for the Galaxy Ring features improvements to the ring’s Bluetooth connection and Samsung Health. What those improvements are remains unknown.
