The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, although still several months away from its official release, is already generating excitement due to expected significant design updates. Rumors suggest that the smartphone will showcase a 6.86-inch display, housed within a much thinner and lighter body compared to its competitors, such as the anticipated Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max and the recently released Google Pixel 9 Pro XL.
Despite the Galaxy S25 series being far from its release, leaks continue to surface, especially focusing on the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which is set to succeed the current Galaxy S24 Ultra. Early reports indicate that while the Galaxy S25 Ultra will have a larger screen—0.7 inches bigger than its predecessor—it will surprisingly be lighter. This weight reduction is expected to be significant enough to maintain its competitive edge in the market.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra might achieve a weight reduction exceeding 5%, which would make it lighter than both the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro Max and the Pixel 9 Pro XL. Additionally, sources claim the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be slimmer than these rivals, suggesting a thickness of less than 8.3 mm, marking a reduction of 0.3 to 0.4 mm compared to the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is anticipated to be released alongside the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus in January 2025. With these rumored enhancements, Samsung seems poised to offer a competitive and attractive option in the high-end smartphone market.
