JAKARTA - The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, the latest upcoming flagship, is back in the spotlight in the world of technology. Once it was previously rumored that it would come with a redesigned frame and a more rounding angle to increase ergonomics, now the latest leak suggests that this phone will be the thinst and lightest Ultra model ever.

This information comes from a well-known leaker, Ice Universe, who has a strong reputation for leak accuracy. Ice Universe claims that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be thinner and lighter than the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and the soon-to-be-released iPhone 16 Pro Max.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max itself will only be launched on September 9, so the exact dimension is not yet known. However, in comparison, the Pixel 9 Pro XL has a thickness of 8.5mm and weighs 221 grams.

Based on this information, we can estimate that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will have a thickness of about 8.4mm and a weight of less than 220 grams. Although the difference is not too significant from the S24 Ultra which has a thickness of 8.6mm, the weight will be lighter, considering that the S24 Ultra weighs 233 grams.

Ice Universe also revealed that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be the lightest among all the upcoming "Ultra" flagships, such as Oppo Find X8 Ultra, Xiaomi 15 Ultra, and Vivo X200 Ultra.

With a thinner design and profile change, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to be a more convenient choice for users who feel the current Ultra model is too big and heavy.

However, there is a possible compromise of this change. For example, for a thinner profile, Samsung may have to reduce the size of the battery. In addition, placing the latest generation Snapdragon processor in a thinner frame can pose problems in heat management.

Although this information is still based on leaks, Ice Universe's trusted reputation makes it worthy of attention. However, we still have to wait for an official announcement in early 2025 to find out the full details regarding the design, specifications, and price of this phone.
