You’ve surely heard that Samsung is letting go of its boxy iconic Ultra design, maybe use something more comfortable this time around with the Galaxy S25 Ultra. From all the leaks we’ve been getting, that does seem to be the case, and this viral Aluminum mold says the same thing about S25 Ultra.
This aluminum dummy still has straight edges, so they haven’t completely revamped it, but at least, they brushed off the corners into something mellow and this design won’t be as bothersome, if true. These shots are from XLeaks7 and Online-solitaire published them first.
There are even some dimensions written on the front of Samsung's upcoming Ultra model, and the thickness they etched on it is only 8.25mm. That’s about 0.35mm thin if you put it side-by-side with S24 Ultra which is about 8.6mm thick, and they may have made the phone slightly wider too.
S25 Ultra is their ultimate high-end model so of course, there will be the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 pulling the load, but how well does it fair against the SD 8 Gen 3 from one year ago? That's what the leakers have been trying to answer for the past few weeks.
There was a Geekbench report about it. They tested the Galaxy S25 Ultra with a 4.2GHz SD 8 Gen 4 but that’s only scratching the surface of what this chip can do. There’s a new Adreno 830 iGPU they used for it, and some benchmark leaks say that it’s between 43% and 56% faster than Adreno 740. So, it’s not only the design they’ve upgraded but the performance has also gone way up.
