Samsung Galaxy S25+ leaks in first renders, looks boring

Following on from its siblings, the S25 Ultra and the vanilla S25, today it’s time for the Galaxy S25+ to be spotted in the very first leaked renders. These are CAD-based, so small details may be inaccurate, bear that in mind, but the general gist of the design is what we’ll be getting in January.

And it's absolutely boring. Sure, it's instantly recognizable as a Samsung, which is great for the Korean company's brand awareness, but the problem (which isn't new at all) is that it looks just like each Samsung. Maybe the flagship line shouldn't share design cues with $200 phones?

Samsung strongly disagrees. What we see is largely the same design, only improved here and there. The bezels are thinner, the camera rings are slightly different, no doubt the colors will change, maybe the texture on the back will be different, the frame is flatter, and that's it.

This definitely isn’t one for those who prefer bizarre, never-before-seen designs. According to a previous rumor, the S25+ will also share its battery with its predecessor, which is stuck at 4,900mAh so as not to undermine the almighty Ultra, which itself is stuck at 5,000mAh.

The S25+ will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC, which is set to be announced in October. Some markets may get Samsung’s Exynos 2500 instead (or not). The phone is said to come with 12GB of RAM and maybe even 256GB of base storage. Fingers crossed.

It gets the same screen size as the S24+. The S25+ measures 158.4 x 75.7 x 7.3 mm, which makes it slightly less tall, narrower and thinner than the S24+.

According to the source of these renders, the S25 family won't be officially announced until January 10, with the reveal happening sometime in mid-January.
