It’s a whopper

A phone so big that there may be no pants in the world with a pocket large enough to hold it, the 6.9-inch Galaxy Note 20 Ultra features a camera module with a 108-megapixel main lens, a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens, and a 12-megapixel telephoto lens with a 5x optical zoom. The selfie camera, housed in a hole-punch notch at the top center of the display, will capture your toothy grin at 10 megapixels, while video enthusiasts can use the device to shoot movies at up to 8K resolution.

The Note 20 Ultra, which comes in bronze, black, and white, tips the scales at 208 grams (7.3 ounces), and includes a 4,500mAh battery offering fast charging to 50% capacity after 30 minutes.

Starting at $1,299 for 128GB of storage (expandable to 1 terabyte) and 12GB of RAM, the Note 20 Ultra will be available from August 21, with pre-orders beginning on August 6.

We are approaching the next Unpacked event, and as usual, all the smartphone surprises that Samsung harbored have been spoiled by leaks. Granted, it’s a bit shaky to put all your faith in leaks. But what about some unceremonious web upload from one of the world’s top accessories brands?

Well, that just transpired on Dbrand’s website. The notoriously outspoken company has listed dozens of renders depicting the Galaxy S25 series smartphones, draped in a variety of skins available for enthusiasts.

Samsung has taken steps in the past to handle leaks, but that hasn't slowed the flow of information this year. The Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup barely has any secrets left given all the information we've seen emerge over the past several months, but now we have mostly clear renders of the Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Tipster Evan Blass shared the renders on X, and the images show the differences in design between the flagship devices. The Galaxy S25 Plus has corners with a more distinct curve, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra has more angular corners.

As noted by Android Authority, these reports have surfaced primarily on online platforms like X, highlighting a growing concern among users.  Rajan Thakur, for example, notes a permanent glass polish mark appearing on their phone. Plyush Baid meanwhile asks a simple question: "What's the point of a screen guard if it makes the anti-reflective coating ineffective?"
