Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event is less than three weeks away, but much like the years, the leaks just keep coming. Though we’ve seen potential renders of the Galaxy S25 Ultra in the past, there have been few actual photos of one. Now, a leaked image shows the phone and its incredibly thin bezels, giving us a better idea of what to expect at launch.

The picture was shared on X by known tipster Jukanlosreve (who also credited Ice Universe, another leaker). It depicts the right side of what is supposedly the Galaxy S25 Ultra and the slender bezels on its side and corners. The photo appears to possibly be cropped from a larger picture, with parts of the background blurred out.

The pictures line up with the last supposed photos of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, enforcing the idea of ultra-thin bezels. There’s still no exact measurement, but Jukanlosreve’s picture is clearer than previous shots and makes it easy to see where the bezels begin and end.

The leak also confirms the S25 Ultra will have more rounded corners than its predecessor, but the other design details appear to be relatively the same.

As we draw closer and closer to the unveiling of the S25 series, more details about the upcoming devices continue to emerge. We already know a lot about what to expect from the Galaxy S25 Ultra, including a few less-than-fortunate details like not tracking devices that have no battery. There have been enough leaks that corroborate specific details that we can make a relatively confident assumption they are correct, but we’ll know more when Samsung holds its showcase.

Galaxy Unpacked is expected to be held on January 22.

Samsung’s latest Unpacked event has wrapped up, and with it, we’ve been introduced to the Galaxy S25 series. As expected, the lineup includes the standard Galaxy S25, the middle-tier S25 Plus, and the flagship Galaxy S25 Ultra. Packed with impressive hardware like the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, AI-driven features, and camera enhancements, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is undoubtedly a powerful device.
But is it worth upgrading to right now? Depending on your current phone, you might find these updates more incremental than groundbreaking. There are compelling reasons to consider holding off until next year’s Galaxy S26 Ultra. Let’s break down why waiting might be the smarter move.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra has given me hope about AI, but only for now

There’s a lot riding on the latest Galaxy AI features headlining the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, but after spending a short time with the phone I’m far more positive about it than I have been about mobile AI at all so far. It’s a good thing, as the rest of the Galaxy S25 Ultra isn’t exactly groundbreaking. However, it's going to take a while before we truly understand if Galaxy AI on the S25 series is as transformational as Samsung claims.
The more you use it

There’s something to explain about the Galaxy AI features before we go any further. I’m basing my positive interest on what I’ve been told it’ll do, rather than seeing it actually doing it in person. Normally this would be a cardinal sin, but as this is a hands-on and not a review, I feel it’s acceptable. The reason is, Galaxy AI’s personalized insights — the most intriguing aspect — needs time to get to know you, and unless you’ve used the phone for a period of time, it doesn’t work.
