TheSamsung Galaxy S25leaks have started becoming more frequent in recent weeks, and we now have some unofficial renders giving us a better idea of what the Galaxy S25 Ultra might look like – and it seems to be moving away from the old Galaxy Note aesthetic.

These renders are courtesy of well-known tipsterIce Universe(via9to5Google), and show a flagship smartphone with corners that are a little more rounded than those on the current model – see ourSamsung Galaxy S24 Ultra reviewfor details.

That would make the phone more like the other handsets in the Galaxy S25 range in terms of its looks, rather than continuing the tradition of square corners that the now-retired Galaxy Note adopted (the last Notelaunched in 2020).

The Ultra phones have carried on from the Note series in some respects, including stylus support. In fact, there’s recentlybeen a rumorthatSamsungis thinking about bringing back the Note name by rebranding the Ultra.

‘Still not perfect’

Apart from the rounded corners, there’s not much in these renders that we wouldn’t expect based on the current handset – though it also looks as though the side rails are going to get even flatter than they are already.

Bear in mind that these aren’t images that have been leaked from Samsung or anywhere else – they’re specially created renders, produced from the rumored information and insider knowledge that has emerged about the premium smartphone up to this point.

These renders are described as “still not perfect” by the tipster who posted them, and we don’t get a shot of the back of the phone. The handset isapparently going to bethinner and lighter than ever, when it shows up – most probably in January 2025.
