Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra might see a major design overhaul

Samsung may be planning a design overhaul of its Ultra flagship next year. A reputed industry insider claims the Galaxy S25 Ultra will ditch the boxy design for a more rounded finish. We don’t have visuals but the 2025 Ultra appears to be doing away with those sharp and pointy corners.

Samsung tipped to make the Galaxy S25 Ultra rounded like other models In December 2022, Samsung hired a former Mercedes design expert to lead its smartphone design team. Reports suggested Hubert H. Lee’s style and design philosophies will start reflecting on Galaxy devices in 2024.



Case in point, Samsung’s next wireless earbuds look completely different from previous generations. The Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro have a stemmed design, similar to Apple AirPods. Although common, this is a more practical design.

Samsung’s next major design evolution under Lee could come early next year. According to tipster Ice Universe, the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be “really rounded.” They are “100%” sure about it .

Considering their track record of Samsung leaks, we have little reason to doubt the claim. The source has been critical of the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s design. Unfortunately, this is all they reported, leaving us imagining what the next Ultra might look like.

Of course, Samsung’s Ultra flagships haven’t always been boxy with sharp corners. The Galaxy S21 Ultra does have rounded corners. The company switched to a boxy design with the Galaxy S22 Ultra in 2022.

This year, it ditched the cur.
