- Samsung has not spotted another Galaxy S25 Ultra prototype
- The latter appeared in a short footage that gives us a glimpse of its design
- Compared to previously leaked mockups, this prototype differs in some ways
The launch of Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S25 series is slowly but surely approaching, which also means a higher incidence of speculation and leaks related to the series. Of course, the most equipped model with the nickname Ultra attracts the most attention – after all, last week, for example, the first images of a model of this device appeared on the Internet, which gave us a glimpse of the likely design. As is usually the case with models, you need to take them with a considerable margin, however, it is more than enough for a basic idea.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra appeared on a short recording
For those who would not like a couple of pictures, we have good news for them – now a short video is circulating on the Internet, which allegedly shows the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. The short footage first appeared on Reddit, however, the well-known leaker Ice Universe was quick to confirm its authenticity, sharing it on social network X (formerly Twitter), while another leaker chunvn8888 also confirmed the authenticity.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra appears to be made of metal again, with the most noticeable change from the previous generation being the much more rounded corners. The One UI 7 user interface should also be more “rounded”, so Samsung will probably want the design of the software and hardware to harmonize with each other. The back side is occupied by the classic set of cameras, while here we can notice that the design rings around them are missing, which the South Korean giant presented with its new foldables and which also appeared on some mockups. As previously noted by Ice Universe itself, the mockups may differ from the actual design of the device.
Don’t overlook
A mockup revealed the shape of the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Can you tell the difference?
Unfortunately, the video doesn’t show much more detail of the phone, and unfortunately, nothing of its user interface. It is very likely that the device we see here is another prototype of the Galaxy S25 Ultra and not the final version that should be launched in January.

(clears throat) Alright, folks! Let’s dive into this article about the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Now, I know what you’re thinking, “Oh, another bloody phone, how exciting.” (in a sarcastic tone, à la Ricky Gervais) But bear with me, because this one’s got some juicy bits.
So, it seems Samsung hasn’t managed to keep their prototype under wraps, and some clever bloke has gotten their hands on a short footage of the device. And let me tell you, it’s a real thrill-ride. (deadpan, a la Jimmy Carr) I mean, who doesn’t love watching a phone just… existing? (chuckles)
According to the article, the video confirms that the S25 Ultra will have metal construction, and those lovely rounded corners we all know and love. Or, as I like to call them, “the rounded corners that make you go ‘ooh, Apple-esque’.” (smirking, à la Rowan Atkinson)
Now, the back of the phone has the classic camera setup, but here’s the thing: those fancy design rings around the cameras are nowhere to be seen. Which, let’s be honest, is a bit of a letdown. I mean, who doesn’t love a good ring? (in a cheeky tone, à la Lee Evans) Am I right, folks? It’s like Samsung’s phone designers said, “You know what? Let’s just go for the minimalist look. Who needs a flashy ring when you can have… nothing?” (laughs)
But, of course, this is just a prototype, and as the article points out, it’s not the final version. So, there’s still hope for those design rings to make a comeback. I, for one, am rooting for them. (winks)
The article also mentions that the One UI 7 user interface will likely be more “rounded,” which I suppose is just code for “we’re going to make it look like every other phone on the market.” (smirks, à la Ricky Gervais) But hey, who needs originality when you can just follow the trends, right?
All in all, it’s an underwhelming, yet somewhat intriguing look at the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. I mean, it’s not like it’s going to revolutionize the world, but hey, at least the corners are rounded. (chuckles) Ah, who am I kidding? It’s just a phone. (shrugs)
That’s all for now, folks. Thanks for joining me on this thrilling adventure into the world of phone design. Don’t forget to tune in next time when we’ll probably be talking about another bloody phone. (laughs) Cheerio!
Here’s the rewritten article with added details and polished for clarity:
Breaking News: Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Prototype Spotted in Leaked Video
As the highly anticipated launch of Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S25 series draws near, the internet is abuzz with speculation and leaks. Among these, the ultra-premium variant, aptly nicknamed the Galaxy S25 Ultra, has captured the most attention. Following the emergence of alleged design mockups last week, which offered a glimpse into the phone’s possible design aesthetic, a short video has now surfaced online, providing a more comprehensive look at the device.
Authenticity of the Leaked Footage Confirmed
Verified by reputable leakers Ice Universe and chunvn8888, the brief video showcases a Galaxy S25 Ultra prototype. Initially shared on Reddit, the footage was swiftly corroborated by Ice Universe, who reposted it on the social network X (formerly Twitter), bolstering its validity.
A Closer Look at the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s Design
The video, though fleeting, provides valuable insights into the phone’s design language. Notably, the Galaxy S25 Ultra appears to boast a metallic construction, echoing its predecessors. A significant departure from the previous generation is the introduction of more rounded corners, which are likely to harmonize with the revamped One UI 7 user interface. The back of the device features a classic camera setup, sans the distinctive design rings that adorned Samsung’s latest foldable devices and some leaked mockups. This omission is a notable distinction from earlier mockups, underscoring the possibility that these early designs may not perfectly reflect the final product, as noted by Ice Universe.
A Comparison with Leaked Mockups Reveals Notable Differences
A closer examination of the leaked video, in conjunction with previously circulated mockups, reveals significant disparities. While the mockups may have provided a general idea of the phone’s design, the actual device appears to deviate from these early conceptualizations. This deviation is consistent with Ice Universe’s earlier observations regarding the discrepancies between mockups and the final product.
A Glimpse into the Future
Although the video fails to showcase the phone’s user interface or additional features, it offers a tantalizing glimpse into the design direction Samsung may be taking with the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Given the timing and the iterative nature of prototype design, it is probable that this device is not the final version slated for release in January.
Stay tuned for more updates on the Samsung Galaxy S25 series as the launch date draws near.
