The Galaxy S25 Ultra will have a new look for its camera lenses, but not a new layout

2024-10-19

The rumor of massive camera upgrades for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra fell through – the latest report is that only the ultra wide camera will be upgraded to a 50MP sensor (ISOCELL JN3) and that’s it. The main camera will reuse the 200MP ISOCELL HP2, the 10MP module will keep the 10MP Sony IMX754, the 5x module is similarly keeping its 50MP IMX854 sensor.

But the cameras will look different. That has to count for something, right? Here is an image shared by leakster Ice Universe, which shows the new design for the individual camera lenses with a thick, dark ring around each one.

This coincides with the design language we’ve seen in renders of other S25 models. It’s similar to the design of the Galaxy Z Fold6, though without the extra bump around all the cameras. This means that cases should be able to make the back completely flat.

The layout of the cameras will remain the same, so the Galaxy S25 phones still look quite same-y. The Galaxy S25 Ultra will stand out from its predecessors with rounded corners and a promise of improved ergonomics that include reducing the width and weight of the device.
