Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra to Feature Subtle Curved Corners and a Rounded Design

Samsung is preparing to unveil its new Galaxy S25 lineup early next year, likely in January, and we are expecting some notable design changes, particularly with the Ultra model. The current Galaxy S24 Ultra features sharper edges, but Samsung may pivot away from this approach, introducing more rounded corners for the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Rounded Display Corners for the Galaxy S25 Ultra: A Fresh Take for Samsung

According to popular leaker Ice Universe, the Galaxy S25 Ultra will feature rounded corners on its display, moving away from the boxier design seen on the current S24 Ultra. The screen protector or front glass images shared online highlight this shift towards rounded edges, which brings the S25 Ultra in line with other premium devices like the iPhone and Google’s Pixel series.

While the Galaxy S24 Ultra has sharp angles compared to the standard S24 and S24 Plus models, Samsung appears to be transitioning towards a more fluid design, with softened corners that could enhance user comfort. This design change may also help Samsung better compete in the market, as both Apple’s iPhone X and later models, as well as Google’s Pixel 9 series, feature rounded corners.

Samsung’s decision to opt for rounded corners may improve the overall feel of the device, making it more ergonomic. The chassis of the Galaxy S25 Ultra is also expected to be more rounded, aligning better with the curved display. However, based on leaked images, it seems that the curvature will be subtle compared to its competitors, allowing Samsung to maintain its signature design style while enhancing comfort.

In another leaked image, Ice Universe reveals screen protectors for all three upcoming Galaxy S25 models, including the Ultra version, giving us a clearer look at what to expect. The images show slightly reduced bezels, which could give the S25 Ultra an edge in terms of display quality, especially when compared to Apple’s iPhone 16 Pro models.

However, the bezels on the standard Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus appear to be a bit thicker, though this could be an effect of the angle at which the image was taken, creating the illusion of a larger size.
