Samsung could pull a similar trick with the Galaxy S25 family, namely release the three expected handsets—the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra—in mid-January and hold back the presumptively named S25 Slim for a few months.

For reference, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is 162.3 x 79 x 8.6mm, so that would make the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra a tiny bit taller, but narrower and thinner. We’ve also heard that the Galaxy S25 Ultra might be lighter at 219g, rather than the 232g of its predecessor.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 is slated to come with a few different upgrades including the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra may come with a new 50MP ultrawide camera lens. All three phones may grow slightly as well, by around 0.1 inches, which would put the S25 Ultra around the same size as the larger iPhone 16 Pro Max.
