The Samsung Galaxy S25 rumor mill is already spinning fast enough to power San Francisco, but leaker Ice Universe has released even more information on the potential — and increasingly plausible — appearance of the new flagship phone. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Ice Universe stated the new S25 Ultra would be only 77.6mm across compared to the 79mm width of the S24 Ultra.

Despite the reduction in overall size, the screen is actually larger thanks to smaller bezels. The new phone will reportedly add 0.07 inches to the diagonal screen size and 0.7mm to the width, even as the body frame shrinks.

The smaller bezels and larger screens are on par with the trend we’re currently seeing in smartphones. The iPhone 16 Pro Max is rumored to be of a similar size, with those in the know suggesting its width to be around 77.6 mm. It will have a 1.15 mm bezel ( that’s a 30% reduction from the previous generation).

Although the size might be slightly smaller, the Galaxy S25 Ultra isn’t sacrificing performance. Ice Universe stated in July that the S25 Ultra would have a major RAM boost, as well as a 5,000mAh battery and 45-watt fast charging. An extra 4GB of RAM on top of the existing 12GB would allow the phone to be even snappier and load your favorite apps in next to no time.

Excited? We definitely are. Unfortunately, Samsung isn’t expected to reveal any of its new Galaxy S models until 2025. Still, it’s shaping up to be a promising release, and we can’t wait to keep learning more.

The Galaxy S25 Edge could set you back more than expected
Alleged leaked image of Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is launching May 13, but the latest leaks suggest you should start saving your pennies now — it's price looks to be more than expected. The Italian retailer Zanetti listed the different models and gave us a better idea of how much each will cost, and it's not the best news. The Galaxy S25 Edge could be the second-most expensive entry in the entire S25 lineup.

According to Zanetti, the 256GB variant will cost 1,362 Euro — roughly $1,494, and most likely rounded up to $1,500. The 512GB model is even pricier at 1,488 Euro, or $1,632. It's also worth bearing in mind that these prices are for European retailers; US prices could be even higher due to the recent tariffs.

Future Samsung Galaxy Ultra models could lose a key feature
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

For several years now, Samsung's Galaxy S series has consisted of the standard model, the Plus model and the Ultra model. In the past, we saw the Galaxy S series and the Galaxy Note series, with the Note series featuring a large display and support for Samsung's S Pen stylus. 

After the Galaxy Note was discontinued in 2021, it was the Galaxy Ultra that swooped in to take its place, also offering a large display and a built-in S Pen. A couple of reports have suggested that latter feature may not always be there however, and there might be a future where the S Pen isn't included in the Ultra's build.
