The next generation of Samsung flagships is nearly here – we’re expecting to hear official news of the Samsung Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra by the end of the month – and I suspect that this year's most consequential Galaxy upgrade will have nothing to do with the new phones' appearance.

Samsung’s big Galaxy S25 launch is right around the corner. The first Galaxy Unpacked event of 2025 is confirmed for January 22 at 1PM ET in San Jose, CA, where Samsung’s “Next Big Thing” (to borrow a 14-year-old marketing slogan) will be revealed.

The leaked image comes courtesy of tipster @Jukanlosreve, with credit given to renowned leaker Ice Universe. It shows off what looks to be the right-hand side of the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra. The design is much more rounded than its predecessor, the Galaxy S24 Ultra, and the bezels have been shaved down to some of the smallest we've ever seen.
