Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra is only expected to become official in January, but it's already been in the news a lot, with multiple rumors talking about how it will be more rounded than the palm-piercing Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Today one of the main sources of all these rumors, who goes by Ice Universe on X, has shared another interesting detail. The Galaxy S25 Ultra will apparently have a better screen-to-body ratio than its predecessor, and its display's aspect ratio will be narrower.
What is the biggest problem with the S24 Ultra design?
The number one flaw is that the horizontal screen-to-body ratio is too low. The body width is 79mm, of which only 72.3mm is the screen, and the remaining 6.7mm is all the frame and the middle frame, which makes the hand feel… pic.twitter.com/YjCVWgWeKi
Combining these two aspects with the rounded corners means the S25 Ultra should be much more of a joy to hold for long periods of time than the S24 Ultra.
Of course that comes at the cost of instant recognizability - the S24 Ultra's sharp edges make it very easy to recognize when out and about, while its successor's shape will make it less so and look more like a generic Android smartphone from afar.
