What’s New in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Series? Leaked Images Reveal Key Design Updates

As Samsung prepares to unveil the much-anticipated Galaxy S25 series at its Galaxy Unpacked event on January 22, 2025, new images have emerged, offering a closer look at the upcoming devices’ design and features. These leaks provide an in-depth preview of the Galaxy S25, S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra, showcasing subtle yet impactful design updates and the anticipated functionality of One UI 7.

Design Enhancements

Renowned leaker Evan Blass has shared the most detailed images yet of the new devices. These visuals reveal several key design refinements across new Galaxy smartphones, including body-colored camera rings and a feature that hasn’t been seen before. The camera rings are now conformed to the body color of the phone which gives a better and more professional look. Furthermore, the Galaxy S25 Ultra has even more rounded corners, even thinner borders, and an S Pen slot within the frame, which emphasizes the status of this top-line phone.

One UI 7 Features

Beyond the hardware, Samsung’s custom Android interface, One UI 7, takes center stage with new features designed to enhance user experience. Among the most notable is the “Now Brief” feature, which provides brief AI-generated summaries of the notifications and other important alerts conversationally. Like Dynamic Island from Apple, this function displays fundamental data on the lock screen and display, allowing users to remain updated with minimal need to unlock their devices.

The Galaxy S25 series is expected to launch with Android 15 and One UI 7, the latter of which is already in beta for Galaxy S24 owners. Despite the similarities in overall design compared to previous models, the sleek appearance of cameras in Samsung’s mobiles and the innovative features in the One UI 7 should attract both loyal Samsung customers and potential buyers.

Pre-orders for the new device are now open, and there is an exclusive $50 early reservation bonus. With only one week until the official unveiling, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series is primed to have a huge influence on the smartphone industry, with further surprises expected to be revealed during the January 22 Unpacked event.
