Here’s the first proper look at the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra?
Android Headlines

Apple has announced the iPhone 16 series, and now that it’s official, attention will soon turn to Samsung’s Galaxy S lineup. It’s fitting that Android Headlines chose this week to reveal what seems to be the first look at the redesigned Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.

The smartphone, anticipated to launch in January or February, features some noticeable design changes that align with earlier rumors about the new flagship. The most significant difference is that all four sides of the phone are now flat. The Galaxy S24 Ultra features flat sides at the top and bottom but slightly rounded ones on the other two sides.

Interestingly, Google recently introduced this type of design on the Google Pixel 9, which many say was copied from Apple’s iPhone lineup.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is also expected to be lighter than its predecessor and the recently announced iPhone 16 Pro Max. The new Samsung phone could weigh just 219 grams, versus the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s 232 grams and the latest iPhone’s 227 grams. Less weight makes sense when you consider that the next Galaxy S Ultra is also expected to be smaller in dimensions and have smaller bezels than its predecessor. The screen size will remain the same, however, at 6.8 inches.

For the camera system, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to feature a 50-megapixel ultrawide, a 200MP primary camera, and a 10MP 3x telephoto camera.

We expect to see a 5,000mAh battery again in next year’s Galaxy S Ultra. The phone will also feature a new chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor, although Qualcomm hasn’t officially announced it yet. The announcement is expected to happen at next month’s Snapdragon Summit.

We’ll undoubtedly hear much more about the Galaxy S25 series in the coming weeks and months. If history is any guide, Samsung should announce the series soon after the start of the new year and release new phones soon after. Like the current series, we are expecting three models: the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and, previously mentioned, Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Of course, another previous rumor suggested there won’t be a Galaxy S25 Ultra next year. Instead, Samsung could bring back a familiar name by calling it the “Galaxy S25 Note.”

Samsung’s next tablet may have a big edge over the iPad Pro
Recent apps view on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve come across a few purported product renders of the next flagship Samsung tablet, along with some details of its key specs. Now, leaker Evan Blass has shared an alleged render of the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra that reveals one stunning detail.

Alongside the bottom edge of the tablet, we get not one, but two USB Type-C ports. This isn't the first time we have seen this feature, but it is a fresh approach for Samsung tablets. The rest of the design — including its slim metallic shell, dual cameras, thin bezels, and notch — is carried over from its predecessor, the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra.

Can you trust your Samsung Galaxy Watch? Here’s what one study says
Exercise rings on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7.

Have you ever looked at the fitness results on your smartwatch and wondered how accurate they are? You aren't alone. Samsung asked that same question about its Galaxy Watch and partnered with the University of Michigan to put it to the test. The results? That's what we're going to dig into.

The Human Performance & Sport Science Center (HPSSC) discovered that the Galaxy Watch's findings were on par with the sport science reference devices used to measure heart rate, sweat loss, VO2 max, and body fat percentage. By "sport science reference devices," we mean the high-end medical equipment used to determine the physical performance of a professional athlete.

We have disappointing news about the next big Samsung phone

We are only a few weeks away from the anticipated launch of Samsung’s newest smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE. There has been a lot of positive buzz surrounding this “fan edition” model — until now.

According to recently published certifications (found by Tech Outlook), the upcoming Samsung phone is expected to feature 25-watt wired charging, similar to its predecessor, the Galaxy S23 FE. This could be a drawback for the Galaxy S24 FE, especially compared to other mid-tier phones, such as the OnePlus 12R, which offers significantly faster 80W charging speeds.
