Galaxy S25 Ultra Rumored To Feature Rounded Corners Like The Galaxy Note 7, Tipster Claims It Will Be Thinner Than Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Ultra

Samsung might not change the display size of the Galaxy S25 Ultra or upgrade the battery capacity, but the company can make it more comfortable to hold thanks to a design change hinted by one tipster. Apparently, the company’s 2025 flagship will sport rounded corners similar to the volatile Galaxy Note 7, and that is not the only change expected to arrive because the Korean giant is rumored to make its next flagship thinner than previous-generation models.

Perhaps the only drawback of switching to rounded corners for consumers is that they cannot re-use the cases strapped to the Galaxy S24 Ultra, assuming they will upgrade to its direct successor.

In short, Samsung has gradually been reducing the thickness of its flagships with every passing year, which would explain why the company is experiencing difficulty going beyond the battery capacity threshold of 5,000mAh. However, the Korean manufacturer could adopt ‘Glacier Battery’ technology as OnePlus did with its Ace 3 Pro.

This will allow companies like Samsung to make its devices thinner, while using more energy-dense batteries that deliver a longer runtime. We still
