Samsung is planning to announce the new foldables (Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6) and Galaxy Ring, alongside the new Galaxy Watch 7, the Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro, and the Galaxy Watch Ultra, at next month’s Galaxy Unpacked event.
However, that’s not all. It seems that Samsung’s surprises are being reserved for the upcoming Galaxy S25 series, with the Galaxy S25 Ultra rumored to get noticeable hardware upgrades over its predecessor.
Samsung seems to be working continuously on the build and design of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, with a previous rumor stating that the new design will finally bring back the rounded corners from older generation phones. And now, we get some more information about the next big thing from Samsung.
According to the famous tipster Ice Universe (via @UniverseIce on X/Twitter), Samsung will make the new S25 Ultra thinner than its predecessor. He states that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will have a thickness of 8.4 millimeters.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra has a body thickness of 8.4mm, further thinning against the trend, making it the thinnest S Ultra model in recent years. S21U to S23U are 8.9mm, while S24U is 8.6mm. Samsung’s design still doesn’t want to compromise with imaging and don’t want to make it…

This is a major improvement from previous generations, with the Galaxy S24 Ultra having a thickness of 8.6 millimeters and the Galaxy S21 Ultra to Galaxy S23 Ultra having a thickness of 8.9 millimeters.
This makes the new Galaxy S25 Ultra the thinnest Galaxy S Ultra device to be ever made, and coupled with the rounded edges, it will significantly improve the comfort and in-hand feel compared to the older generations.
These changes in thickness will come without any compromises in the camera quality, with upgrades planned for the rear ultrawide and the 3x telephoto lens, so we can hope for some major improvements from the predecessor.
Expect the Galaxy S25 Ultra to be announced alongside the S25/S25+ at Samsung’s Unpacked event in early 2025.
