Reports suggest that Samsung is gearing up to introduce a design shift with the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra, moving away from sharp corners to a sleeker, rounded design reminiscent of the Galaxy Note 7. While artist interpretations have circulated, a genuine render has finally emerged—though it comes with a twist. The well-known leakster who revealed the Galaxy S25 Ultra image has blurred it out, pending the achievement of a financial goal.
The donation drive spearheaded by the leakster, intended to unblur the render, fell short, garnering only 4% of the required amount. As a result, the full, clear render of the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be shared in the usual fashion.
Steve Hemmerstoffer, better known in tech circles as @OnLeaks, has built a formidable reputation over the years by leaking accurate renders of smartphones, tablets, and other gadgets. Partnering with numerous publications, he has routinely generated significant buzz about upcoming launches.
However, this time, Hemmerstoffer attempted a different approach, asking his followers for monetary contributions to reveal the unblurred render of the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Unfortunately, the plan didn’t go as expected, as public interest seemed insufficient to meet the donation target.
In a reflective tweet, Steve expressed his disappointment, saying, “Almost 10 hours later, we have not even reached 4% of the donation goal. I thought this would have been a fun and win-win way to share my leaks, but it turns out I was wrong. Thus, I will close the donations and reveal the Galaxy S25 Ultra the usual way in a few hours.”
The outcome has raised questions: Were the established publications and Steve unable to find common ground for this particular leak? Or does he simply prefer maintaining control over how and when his leaks are shared?
Regardless, Hemmerstoffer has consistently provided tech enthusiasts with exciting glimpses into the future of mobile technology. His followers still have plenty of reasons to stay engaged and support his efforts in delivering high-quality leaks and renders.
For those intrigued by the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, it’s a matter of time before the unblurred image emerges, continuing the tradition of anticipation and excitement that surrounds every major leak Steve has released.
