Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Reveals Bold Design Overhaul, But S Pen Faces Downgrade
Ahead of its highly anticipated release on January 22, leaks of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra have revealed striking design updates. The press renders, shared by Androidheadlines, show a fresh new look for the flagship device, with flat sides, rounded corners, and a flat display, offering a sleek and modern aesthetic.
The S25 Ultra departs from the curved titanium edges seen on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, opting for a flatter, more ergonomic frame that improves grip and minimizes accidental touches. The display boasts ultra-thin bezels and a selfie camera cutout resembling earlier models, while the rear camera array retains its established layout but introduces larger lens bumps and an updated polished color finish.
While the design changes may excite many, a recent leak has disappointed fans of the S Pen. The Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to lose its Bluetooth connectivity, meaning the Air gesture controls and remote shutter functions that were present in previous models will be absent. This represents a significant hardware downgrade for the S Pen, which has been an iconic feature of Samsung’s flagship devices.
The combination of the revamped design and the reduction in S Pen functionality highlights Samsung’s evolving vision for its premium smartphone range.
