Another day, another Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra leak. Yesterday, we saw a short video teasing the design of the phone, but we didn’t get a full look at the device. A few more images have appeared, all from the same source as yesterday.
Android Authority shared images obtained from Reddit user u/GamingMK, who said they came from yesterday’s leaker (a user that has since deleted their account). Additionally, these images show the Galaxy S25 running One UI 7.
The new pictures show the bottom of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, with a clear view of the USB-C port, the SIM card slot, the S-Pen, and the speaker. The design closely follows that of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, with the S-Pen on the left-hand side (in contrast to early rumors that said it might end up on the right).
Several screenshots also show the Android 15-based One UI 7, but these just further confirm details we already knew about the operating system. Even without any surprises, it’s nice to see things in action. There weren’t a lot of changes, but you can see a few updated icons, and the battery indicator looks different than past iterations.
This particular model number of the Galaxy S25 Ultra scored 2,627 single-core and 9,404 multi-core on a Geekbench test, but know that Geekbench results can easily be manipulated. It’s always best to take them with a grain of salt.
These images raise many questions — namely, how exactly did the leaker get their hands on the S25 Ultra so early? We’ll have to wait until the launch to officially test it out and find out exactly how many of the rumors and leaks were spot-on.

The Galaxy S25 could add a new feature that’s perfect for mobile gaming
The Samsung Galaxy S25 is set to blow fans away with its impressive specs, and the latest leak just lends more credence to those rumors. According to trusted leaker Jukanlosreve, Samsung is working on a "game mode" that will improve performance without generating a tremendous amount of excess heat.
Jukanlosreve speculates the game mode feature will utilize the Qualcomm Adreno Frame Motion Engine 2.0 (AFME 2.0), which is a technology that can double the frame rate in games without increasing its power usage. That means a smoother gaming experience without extra heat or a noticeable impact on battery life. Qualcomm writes that AFME 2.0 "provides realistic detail by generating high-quality scenes, doubling the frame rate while maintaining the same power consumption."

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 changed my mind about small smartwatches
I like large watches and the way they look on my wrist. Even outside of traditional watches, I gravitate towards the biggest size of smartwatch available. When I reviewed the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7, I wore the 44mm size and quite liked it. However, when I had the chance to try out the 40mm version, I decided it was a good opportunity to see if bigger was always better.
It turns out that for the Galaxy Watch 7, it’s not.
Is there really a difference?

The Samsung Galaxy S25’s colors leaked again, and this time they’re different
The Samsung Galaxy S25 has been the focus of a lot of coverage for months now as we eagerly await its launch. In that time, we've covered a lot of different leaks, but this latest news shows the risk of using uncertain information: It isn't guaranteed. Trusted leaker Evan Blass recently said the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus phones will be available in blue, Mint, navy, and Silver Shadow, per a story from Android Headlines.
That's different from the original tip when Ross Young said the colors would be red, gold, and black. The new colors are also different from the colors Young suggested in late October. Although we're hesitant to say which is more likely, we've seen blue and Silver Shadow mentioned in multiple leaks from different people. That corroboration lends some confidence to those two options.
