Samsung's next premium set of smartphones have been pictured before being release early next year. While the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus are hard to tell apart from the current Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus, the Galaxy S25 Ultra should be easy to tell apart from the outgoing Galaxy S24 Ultra.

The Galaxy S25 series is likely a way off from being released. Ultimately, Samsung has not confirmed anything yet. However, the volume of Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra leaks recently implies that a repeat of an official introduction in January should be expected.

To that end, it now appears that third-parties are getting their accessories in order for the replacement of the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus and Galaxy S24 Ultra (curr. $895 on Amazon) early next year. Specifically, Roland Quandt has shared images of what look like unofficial clear cases on X (formerly Twitter). As is often the case, it is unclear who has produced these cases.

Nonetheless, they match existing expectations for the Galaxy S25 series, which could be available exclusively with Qualcomm's recent Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. As such, the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus are the spitting image of their predecessors. Thus, both devices should launch with three rear-facing cameras arranged vertically with thin display bezels and a flat overall design.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy S25 Ultra will represent another modest redesign for Samsung's 'Ultra' smartphones. Based on all available information, next year's Galaxy S Ultra will move away from its predecessor's boxy design, albeit while retaining a familiar camera design and a flat display. Supposedly, the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be smaller than the Galaxy S24 Ultra too, all in the aid of improved ergonomics. Incidentally, colour options for all three models recently leaked online, which we have covered separately.
