Samsung has taken steps in the past to handle leaks, but that hasn’t slowed the flow of information this year. The Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup barely has any secrets left given all the information we’ve seen emerge over the past several months, but now we have mostly clear renders of the Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Tipster Evan Blass shared the renders on X, and the images show the differences in design between the flagship devices. The Galaxy S25 Plus has corners with a more distinct curve, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra has more angular corners.
These renders line up with the most recent leaks, offering even more corroboration that this is, in fact, the final design of the two phones. The primary difference between the two is in the corners; otherwise, both have the same hole-punch front camera.
Evan BlassUnfortunately, discovery came at the expense of someone’s job. According to Max Jambor, Samsung has fired a staff member over the leaks; the staffer failed to hide the identification number on one of the devices in the pictures, allowing Samsung to trace the leak to its source.

We’re just over a month away from the expected Galaxy Unpacked date of January 22. Expect the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra to all be announced at the event. The rumored Galaxy S25 Slim isn’t expected to make its debut until later in the year, likely around summer.
At this point, enough early images have leaked that we have a pretty complete picture of the Galaxy S25. We know what colors to expect, what specs to look for, and even what accessories might be on the way — but that doesn’t mean there won’t still be a surprise or two at the Galaxy Unpacked event.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 release date may have leaked
The next major smartphone release is approaching quickly. According to tipster Abhishek Yadav (via SamMobile), Samsung is set to launch its Galaxy S25 series on Wednesday, January 22, 2025. While earlier rumors suggested that the actual date might be January 23, it’s clear that the arrival of the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra is imminent.
It is not yet known whether January 22 is the date when Samsung will announce the new phones at an Unpacked event or if it is the official launch date. Earlier this year, the company announced the Galaxy S24 series on January 17, with a release date set for January 31.

Bad news, Samsung fans. The Galaxy S25 series might get a price increase
The Samsung Galaxy S25's rumored launch date is just over a month away, but leaks still pour in seemingly every day. Unfortunately, the latest bears bad news: a potential price hike. The Galaxy S25 price may rise by roughly 150,000 won (around $105 USD), according to The JoongAng newspaper. The South Korean Won (KRW) has weakened compared to the USD (and currently sits at around 1,432 won to 1 USD), which means higher costs for importing components, according to Yonhap News, a South Korean news site.
The average price of Samsung devices is lower in foreign markets compared to Korea, but a major change in the home market pricing will spill over into foreign pricing, too. The recent political turmoil in South Korea, paired with increased exchange rates, is apparently driving the potential increase. The Samsung Galaxy S24 launched at $800 for the base model. The potential price increase means the Galaxy S25 could start at $900 or higher. Following that trend, we could see a starting price of $1,000 for the Galaxy S25 Plus and $1,400 for the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The S24 Ultra was already $100 more expensive than the previous generation.
