The Samsung Galaxy S25 has been on our radar for quite a while now, especially with a potential new design, AI functionality, and a whole slew of other awesome features. Its display has been a special topic of conversation with leaker Ice Universe’s info drops, and now we have even more solid news: The tipster posted pictures of the actual displays online.

Ice Universe’s picture shows the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra laid out side-by-side. The image confirms the theorized thinner bezels and the Ultra’s rounded corners. It’s not easy to gauge size based on a picture, but it’s evident that the S25 Ultra is larger than the other two models. That said, Ice Universe previously suggested the display would be roughly 6.9 inches along the diagonal. This most recent shot lends credence to that.

All three displays have a single punch-hole camera in the top center. Unfortunately, we can’t tell anything else based on these images alone. Without a look at the back, it’s hard to judge whether the rumored camera sensors are on the way.

We’re still making educated guesses about the rest of the S25 Ultra’s specs. It’s been rumored that Samsung will use the Exynos 2500 chip, but there have been reports that Samsung is facing production difficulties and might opt instead to use a Qualcomm chip for all three devices.

Estimates give the Galaxy S25 a starting price of around $799 and the S25 Plus a price of $999. Going by these estimates — and the fact that Samsung bumped up the price of the S24 Ultra — it’s possible that the S25 Ultra might start around $1,299.

We won’t know the final details on pricing or the chip used until closer to the phone’s launch, which should occur sometime around January or February next year.

Before we dig into this tantalizing, mind-bendingly ambitious leak, grab the biggest fistful of skepticism you can. Got it? Let’s get into it. According to a fresh leak, Samsung is cooking up a camera sensor with an astounding 324-megapixel resolution that could appear in a flagship phone two years from now.

According to leakster Sanju Choudhary, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will come equipped with the in-house ISOCELL HR1 sensor that yields a 324MP sensor output. That’s the most megapixel-heavy smartphone sensor we’ve come across, eclipsing the 200-megapixel units Samsung is currently hawking.

Less than a week ago, we covered a Samsung Galaxy S25 leak that hinted at its possible colors. Now that information has been corroborated and more from Ross Young (@DSCCRoss) on X (formerly Twitter). When that story went up, we didn't have the color names. Now we do — and they're sparkly.

According to Young, the base S25 will come in four colors: Moon Night Blue, Silver Shadow, Sparkling Blue, and Sparkling Green. The Galaxy S25 Plus will come in five colors: Midnight Black, Moon Night Blue, Silver Shadow, Sparkling Blue, and Sparkling Green.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 is due to release in January, and we've heard next to nothing about the Galaxy S26. Why, then, did we just get the first details on the Galaxy S27? The release is a full generation away, but Samsung is reportedly already working on the chipset.

Dubbed "Ulysses," this new Exynos chipset is still in the earliest stages of development. Mass production is planned in 2026, but a lot can happen between now and then. Tipster Jukanlosreve first noticed the news on the Korean site SEDaily. The article is written in Korean, but I found the translation to be easy enough to understand. Fair warning: Google Translate doesn't handle formatting well.
