Galaxy S25 Ultra ditches the Galaxy Note design in first hands-on leak [Video]

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra is on its way, but surfacing early in a new video leak that shows off how drastically the design is changing.

When it killed off the Galaxy Note a few years ago, Samsung repurposed the squared-off design in the Galaxy S22 Ultra and its further sequels, effectively turning its high-end flagship into a Galaxy Note reincarnate. However, it’s been rumored that the next generation will take a different route.

Leaked renders recently showed the design of the Galaxy S25 Ultra with a revamped design that includes curved corners. The display is still flat, just like the Galaxy S24 Ultra, while the corners are more rounded to match the rest of the Galaxy S series.

A video posted to Reddit by an account that’s since been deleted shows what appears to be the first hands-on leak of the Galaxy S25 Ultra. And, like the previous renders, the corners are heavily curved. The camera module is also adjusted with the same design as the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

What do you think of this new direction for the Galaxy S25 Ultra design?
