The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra’s new display could look like this

The Samsung Galaxy S25 rumor mill is already spinning fast enough to power San Francisco, but leaker Ice Universe has released even more information on the potential — and increasingly plausible — appearance of the new flagship phone. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Ice Universe stated the new S25 Ultra would be only 77.6mm across compared to the 79mm width of the S24 Ultra.

Despite the reduction in overall size, the screen is actually larger thanks to smaller bezels. The new phone will reportedly add 0.07 inches to the diagonal screen size and 0.7mm to the width, even as the body frame shrinks.

The smaller bezels and larger screens are on par with the trend we’re currently seeing in smartphones. The iPhone 16 Pro Max is rumored to be of a similar size, with those in the know suggesting its width to be around 77.6 mm. It will have a 1.15 mm bezel ( that’s a 30% reduction from the previous generation).

Although the size might be slightly smaller, the Galaxy S25 Ultra isn’t sacrificing performance. Ice Universe stated in July that the S25 Ultra would have a major RAM boost, as well as a 5,000mAh battery and 45-watt fast charging. An extra 4GB of RAM on top of the existing 12GB would allow the phone to be even snappier and load your favorite apps in next to no time.

Excited? We definitely are. Unfortunately, Samsung isn’t expected to reveal any of its new Galaxy S models until 2025. Still, it’s shaping up to be a promising release, and we can’t wait to keep learning more.

Samsung did the impossible with the Galaxy Watch Ultra

Samsung has done what I thought was impossible: It has made a watch face that I actually want to use all the time and don't intend to change.

Incredibly, after years of offering nothing but the same old thing, the Galaxy Watch Ultra has the smartest, most stylish, most useful, and most attractive watch face I’ve seen on a Samsung smartwatch. It’s called the Ultra Analog, and it’s fantastic.

Samsung just updated this two-year-old phone with a great new feature

When Samsung introduced Galaxy AI earlier this year, it initially only rolled out the tool to its flagship phones, which were released in 2022 and later. This meant phones like the Galaxy S21 FE did not receive new features like Circle to Search. However, this has finally changed.

According to SamMobile, Samsung’s August 2024 security update has added this feature to the Galaxy S21 FE.

The foldable phone market is currently dominated by Samsung, particularly with its recent Galaxy Z Fold 6 release. However, another player is entering the scene next month. Honor is expected to launch its latest foldable device before IFA Berlin in September.

On a teaser page for its attendance at the annual European tech event, Honor has displayed a large banner with the slogan “AI unfold your magic,” along with the names “Honor Magic V3,” “Honor MagicPad2,” and “Honor MagicBook Art 14.” The first refers to the company’s latest foldable phone, launched in China in July as a successor to the Honor Magic V2. Honor launched the Magic V3 in China earlier this year, but IFA is where we should see the phone get a global release.
