Another day, another Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra leak. Yesterday, we saw a short video teasing the design of the phone, but we didn’t get a full look at the device. A few more images have appeared, all from the same source as yesterday.

Android Authority shared images obtained from Reddit user u/GamingMK, who said they came from yesterday’s leaker (a user that has since deleted their account). Additionally, these images show the Galaxy S25 running One UI 7.

The new pictures show the bottom of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, with a clear view of the USB-C port, the SIM card slot, the S-Pen, and the speaker. The design closely follows that of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, with the S-Pen on the left-hand side (in contrast to early rumors that said it might end up on the right).

Several screenshots also show the Android 15-based One UI 7, but these just further confirm details we already knew about the operating system. Even without any surprises, it’s nice to see things in action. There weren’t a lot of changes, but you can see a few updated icons, and the battery indicator looks different than past iterations.

This particular model number of the Galaxy S25 Ultra scored 2,627 single-core and 9,404 multi-core on a Geekbench test, but know that Geekbench results can easily be manipulated. It’s always best to take them with a grain of salt.

These images raise many questions — namely, how exactly did the leaker get their hands on the S25 Ultra so early? We’ll have to wait until the launch to officially test it out and find out exactly how many of the rumors and leaks were spot-on.

While OnePlus may have exited the US and Europe, the brand is still alive in its home market and is already working on its next flagship smartphone. A fresh leak from Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station has now revealed more details about the OnePlus 16, including its design and a revised launch timeline.

The tipster previously claimed that the phone would arrive in September 2026, but the latest information points to an October launch in China (via Gizmochina). The global picture is far less clear, and there is now even some doubt over whether the OnePlus 16 will make it to India, which remains the company’s biggest market.

Samsung wants another giant OLED folding inside your pocket
Samsung Galaxy TriFold unfolded

Samsung just gave foldable fans a wider 4:3 canvas with the Galaxy Z Fold 8. But that still isn't enough screen for the company. Samsung has reportedly begun early development of a successor to the Galaxy Z TriFold, its dual-hinged phone that unfolds into something much closer to a proper tablet.

According to Korean publication ETNews, Samsung has already shared information about the next-generation project with suppliers, but its final specifications have yet to be decided. One detail should immediately grab the attention of anyone who buys a foldable primarily for its display. A source familiar with the project told ETNews that Samsung is currently targeting a screen size similar to the original TriFold.

Android 17 could make one of its most powerful app permissions harder to approve without a second thought. New warning text explains that trusted apps may view and interact with screen content, even while the phone is locked.

Nerd’s Chalk uncovered the language in an APK teardown of Android 17 QPR2 Beta 1. The feature isn’t active, but Google’s description now leaves considerably less to the imagination.
