Smartphone manufacturers rarely change how rear cameras look from generation to generation. When they do, it makes news, like when the regular Apple iPhone 16 launched with a new vertical pill-shaped camera system last month. Now, Samsung is about to make a camera design change, this time on the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra.

According to Ice Universe, Samsung’s next flagship device will feature a camera design slightly similar to that of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. While this isn’t an earth-shattering change, it’s interesting nonetheless.

As you can see in the image below, the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s camera could take a page from the company’s current flagship foldable device, although it won’t look like it 100%. Instead, the lenses around the camera could be black and have concentric circles. The layout, however, will continue with the design found on the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to have a 200MP primary camera, a 50MP ultrawide camera, and a 10MP telephoto camera. It is also likely to feature a 12MP selfie camera on the front.

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to sport a flat design on all sides instead of the curved edges found on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. September brought the first glimpse of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, revealing the design modifications.

Like the other phones in the Galaxy S25 series, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to be one of the first to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset and come with 16GB of RAM.

Samsung should announce its next Galaxy S phone lineup in January or February, with release dates to follow soon after.

Here’s why you might not be able to purchase a Galaxy S25 Edge right away

Samsung’s highly anticipated Galaxy S25 Edge is set to launch in the coming weeks. However, according to leaker Ice Universe, the phone will initially be available in only South Korea and China.

Teased by Samsung at the MWC Barcelona conference in January, the Galaxy S25 Edge was already expected to be in short supply. Last month, a report noted that only 40,000 units would be available at launch. By contrast, Samsung sold 1 million regular Galaxy S25 units in Korea within the first 21 days on the market. According to a report from SamMobile, however, Samsung plans to manufacture up to 3 million Galaxy S25 Edge units, ensuring a global launch sooner rather than later.

The Galaxy S25 Edge could set you back more than expected

Alleged leaked image of Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is launching May 13, but the latest leaks suggest you should start saving your pennies now — it's price looks to be more than expected. The Italian retailer Zanetti listed the different models and gave us a better idea of how much each will cost, and it's not the best news. The Galaxy S25 Edge could be the second-most expensive entry in the entire S25 lineup.

According to Zanetti, the 256GB variant will cost 1,362 Euro — roughly $1,494, and most likely rounded up to $1,500. The 512GB model is even pricier at 1,488 Euro, or $1,632. It's also worth bearing in mind that these prices are for European retailers; US prices could be even higher due to the recent tariffs.

Samsung's long-awaited Galaxy S25 Edge is the last member of the Galaxy S25 lineup. It might not have released at the same time as the other three phones, but it has potentially been discussed more than even the mightiest of the S25 lineup. This slim and light handset captured the public's attention, but Samsung has kept concrete information under wraps — as best they can, anyway.

Thanks to a slew of leaks, we have a pretty good idea of what to expect when this phone hits the market. This information comes courtesy of tipsters with reliable track records, educated guesses, and a assumptions made from previous launches. Of course, take it with a grain of salt — anything could change before launch, after all — but this is everything you need to know about the Galaxy S25 Edge.
