New phones mean new phone cases as well, and as we count down towards January and the expected launch of theSamsung Galaxy S25range we’ve got a leaked look at a case that could potentially be wrapping around the Ultra model.

It comes from well-known tipsterIce Universe, and it corroborates some of the other leaks we’ve seen up to this point – including the unofficial rendersshowing offsides and corners that are much more rounded than they are on the current model.

The rear camera array layout is also revealed by the molding of this transparent case, a layoutwe’ve previously seenin earlier camera leaks, and which looks pretty similar to the camera array on theSamsung Galaxy S24 Ultra,.

Even if the camera layout is the same, that doesn’t mean the cameras themselves won’t be improved: a 200MP primary camera, 50MP super-telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom, a secondary 50MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, and a 50MP ultrawide camera are apparentlyon the way next year.

Familiar looks

Elsewhere on this case, everything is where you would expect it to be. We’ve got the volume buttons, the power button, the gap for the USB-C port down at the bottom, and the grille for the speaker.

In other words, don’t expect the Galaxy S25 Ultra to look a whole lot different to the Galaxy S24 Ultra – although alongside the rounded corners, we are anticipatingan asymmetrical framefront to back, for a more comfortable hold in the hand.

Other upgrades may well come on the inside: a couple of days ago we heard a repeat of the rumor that the Galaxy S25 Ultra would begetting 16GB of RAMas standard, up from the 12GB of RAM in the current Ultra model.
