Official images of the Galaxy S25 Ultra have just been leaked, showing that the product will have minor changes in design. In addition, it is likely that this smartphone will have a "new but old" name.
Ice Universe - the X account (formerly Twitter) famous for leaking information about technology - has just shared a series of new photos said to be of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Samsung's upcoming high-end smartphone.
Leaked images show that the Galaxy S25 Ultra has an overall design that is not too different from recent Galaxy S Ultra versions, with thin screen bezels and a "hole-punch" front camera located inside the screen.

However, the Galaxy S25 Ultra still has a small change to make a difference, which is that the 4 corners of the product will be rounded, no longer keeping the square design like the Galaxy S23 Ultra or S24 Ultra.
Ice Universe said that the Galaxy S25 Ultra still retains the same 6.8-inch screen size as the previous versions, but the thinner screen bezels have helped the product have a slightly smaller overall size. In addition, the Galaxy S25 Ultra still uses a flat screen instead of a curved screen.

Unfortunately, the images posted by Ice Universe do not show the back of the product, but previous leaks indicate that Samsung has retained the same camera cluster design as the previous Galaxy S23 Ultra and S24 Ultra.
The main camera on the Galaxy S25 Ultra will retain a 200-megapixel resolution, but the telephoto and ultra-wide cameras will be upgraded to 50 megapixels.
Previous leaks said the Galaxy S25 Ultra will feature a 6.8-inch screen with a 144Hz refresh rate, powered by Qualcomm's highest-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 for Galaxy chip, optimized specifically for Samsung products.
Samsung will also equip titanium frames for all variants of the Galaxy S25 series. This series of smartphones is also equipped with a virtual assistant integrated with artificial intelligence, similar to ChatGPT, making the process of using smartphones easier and more convenient.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is said to have a minimum of 12GB of RAM and an optional 16GB of RAM, allowing the product to process AI tasks smoothly and quickly on the device, without having to send data to an external server for processing, ensuring user privacy.
Another relevant piece of information about the Galaxy S25 Ultra is the name of this version.
Technology reporter Yogesh Brar, citing sources close to Samsung, said that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will likely be renamed the Galaxy S25 Note.
Previously, Samsung decided to "kill" the Galaxy Note line in 2021, after launching the Galaxy Note20 and Note20 Ultra duo. This decision was made because the Galaxy Note and Galaxy S lines accidentally competed with each other in the high-end smartphone segment with large screens.
Now, renaming the Galaxy S25 Ultra to the Galaxy S25 Note would allow Samsung to "merge" the Galaxy S and Galaxy Note product lines, and "revive" the much-loved Galaxy Note product line.
Currently, all information is still just rumors. If Samsung keeps the new product launch schedule, it is likely that the Galaxy S25 series will be announced in January 2025.
