Galaxy S25 Ultra reportedly ditching sharp corners in favor of more rounded edges
- The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra may have more rounded corners than the S24 Ultra, according to leaker IceUniverse.
- The phone will still retain a boxy design, just with corners that aren’t nearly as sharp.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 is still over half a year away, but that hasn’t stopped the rumor mill from turning. We’ve already heard several reports indicating that Samsung may bring a notable design refresh to the entire S25 series. Now, Ice Universe has chimed in on X (formerly Twitter) with news that the Galaxy S25 Ultra could have much more rounded corners than before. To be clear, it’s still very likely that the S25 Ultra will retain a boxy design, as that has become an iconic part of its look at this stage. Simply put, the corners probably won’t be as sharp.
While the well-known leaker doesn’t provide any further details about the design, we wouldn’t be surprised by the change. Not only does this align with previous claims that the Ultra will have a reworked design with changes to bezels and frame, but it also addresses a problem some users had with the S24 Ultra’s corners. With that phone, continuous use can press against the sides of softer hands, leaving a temporary mark and resulting in a less comfortable experience.
Do you like the idea of a more rounded Galaxy S25 Ultra?
We don’t expect the Galaxy S25 series to launch until January, but we already know quite a bit about it. We are relatively certain it will only see a few minor camera upgrades, for one, and it could get a next-gen display that allows for fingerprint scanning anywhere on the screen. We’ll likely learn even more about the phone in the coming months.
