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.

A few weeks ago, we found out what colors to expect from the Galaxy S25 lineup when it launches in January. While those were all welcome choices, we didn't learn what the online-exclusive options would be. A leak from a well-known insider gives us an idea of what those might be.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Ross Young said he had found more colors. For the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus, those are Coral Red, Pink Gold, and Blue/Black. For the S25 Ultimate, the choices are Titanium Blue/Black, Titanium Jade Green, and Titanium Pink/Silver.

Could the next big smartphone war be about who can make the thinnest device? Increasingly, it's looking that way.

Industry reports suggest Samsung is working on an ultrathin version of its upcoming Galaxy S25 flagship that could launch in 2025. The rumored timing would put it just months ahead of Apple's long-rumored "iPhone 17 Slim,” expected later that same year.

A new Samsung Galaxy Ring may launch sooner than expected
The Samsung Galaxy Ring on someone's finger.

Samsung's Galaxy Ring was first unveiled in July of this year to a lot of applause and fanfare, and it has received quite a bit of praise from reviewers since then. That said, there's still room for improvement — and a supposed leak from Naver user yeux1122 suggests the second iteration of the smart ring could arrive on the market sooner rather than later.

The first Galaxy Ring was initially teased in January and released about six months later. Although we don't know the time frame for a Galaxy Ring 2 release, it will supposedly be "a bit earlier" than expected.
