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.

Galaxy phones may finally get a basic privacy feature Samsung missed
One UI 9.5 could let you lock an app without jumping through hoops
Computer, Electronics, Tablet Computer

Samsung gives Galaxy owners an impressive amount of control over their phones. Features like Good Lock let users customize just about every aspect of their smartphones. But somehow, the company forgot to put a simple alaxy owners an almost ridiculous amount of control over their phones. Somehow, simply adding a fingerprint lock for apps.

With the One UI 9.5 update, this might finally change. Tipster Fahad Ali Javed has uncovered a native App Lock feature inside an unreleased One UI 9.5 build running on a Galaxy S26. So you would be able to secure individual apps directly from the app drawer without moving them somewhere else first. This could be one of One UI 9.5's simplest and most useful additions.

The iPhone X is obsolete now, and so is that aging MacBook Pro
Relax! only the 2018 MacBook Pro is obsolete
iPhone X

The iPhone X and 15-inch 2018 MacBook Pro have officially joined Apple's obsolete products list, marking the end of official hardware service for two devices that once represented the company's future.

Apple updated its support listings to move both products from its vintage category to the obsolete category. That distinction matters because once a device becomes obsolete, Apple discontinues hardware service for it, while authorized service providers can no longer order parts through Apple.

The Pixel 11 Pro is an absolute stealth banger, and its camera finally wants me to experiment
I tried the Pixel 11 Pros, and one tiny light left me wanting more

Google already made some pretty phones, and the new Pixel 11 Pro series just got even better-looking. Recent Pixel Pro models have been among the most premium Android phones I've spent time with, and a few minutes with the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL told me Google is refining the formula even further.

The Pixel 11 was a surprisingly compelling base flagship, and the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL continue the strong first impressions. The phones are lighter, the camera visor is slimmer, the screens are brighter, and the smaller Pro finally gets faster Pixelsnap charging. Google also throws in HiLight and a refreshing new way to experience its camera software.
