Galaxy S25 Ultra to Feature Rounded Design Similar to Galaxy Note 7
Samsung usually tries new and significant changes to give a new boost to the user experience; that’s exactly the case with the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra. It might bring about a big design change.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 series will take the floor in early 2025, as expected. Similar to its predecessor series, the Galaxy S25 will also include three variants: the Galaxy S25, the Galaxy S25+, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The new report says that the Ultra variant of the Galaxy S25 series could bring a major design change.
If the report is to be believed, the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra will not appear in sharper corners. This is in contrast to the recently launched Galaxy S24 Ultra. The reason behind this major change seems to be that the sharper corners of the current Galaxy S24 can dig into the users’ palms and cause inconvenience if the device is not covered with a case. However, it is not exactly clear yet whether the entire corner is curved or if its edges are more rounded.
Samsung has yet to announce any announcement regarding the Galaxy S25 series, but it seems that the giant will dedicatedly overcome the shortcomings of the Galaxy S24 Ultra with the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra. Following the previous launching schedules, it’s expected that the device will be announced sometime early next year. It is rumored that Samsung will upgrade the cameras massively with its next flagship phone. According to some reports, the Galaxy S25 Ultra will feature a 200MP primary rear camera, a 50MP ultrawide camera, a 50MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a 50MP super-telephoto with 5x optical zoom. On the flip side, a 12 MP selfie camera could be housed.
It will be interesting to see what new novelties the upcoming Galaxy S25 series will bring.

OnePlus is a budding competitor of Samsung, which is gearing up to launch its next-generation smartphone, the OnePlus 13, with an IP68 or IP69 rating.
Earlier this year, Samsung debuted its high-end Galaxy S24 series, which features an IP68 rating to protect the device from dust and water. The IP rating is a kind of extra layer of protection over the smartphone’s display.
The IP rating is an international standard that measures how well an electrical or mechanical enclosure can resist damage from liquids, dust, objects, and accidental contact. The Galaxy S24 series is rated IP68, where 6 stands for the dust rating, which is the highest level of protection, and 8 stands for the water resistance rating, which can resist up to 5 feet for up to 30 minutes.
As a strong competitor, the OnePlus 13 could be rated with an IP68 or IP69 rating. This is being speculated on by a tipster named Digital Chat Station. Apart from this, the Google Pixel 8 series and Samsung Galaxy S24 series already have this rating.
It will be interesting to see whether the upcoming phone will be powered by this IP68 or IP69 rating. But if OnePlus wants to overcome Samsung in the tech market, then it should add an extra layer of protection to its upcoming OnePlus 13 by offering an IP69 rating.
Since Samsung’s current Galaxy S24 series has an IP68 rating, So, this is a golden chance for OnePlus to make its strong place in the market by offering this a step better IP rating than the Galaxy S24.

Samsung has shared the details about the July 2024 security patch. With the revelation of the information, the company has also described the scope of the security patch update, where it has provided a dedicated list of the devices belonging to the different categories, including monthly, quarterly, and biannual.
These devices are divided on the basis of price range; however, from time to time, the company also removes the device from the list by following the policy. The Galaxy A21s is a fresh example of it.
The Galaxy A21s has completed four software support
Samsung has introduced the Galaxy A21s, launched back in 2020. It came with Android 10 preinstalled. Later, the device grabbed three more major updates in the form of Android 11, Android 12, and Android 13.
Now, following the software update policy, the device is more eligible to get any new major update. Along with this, the device also grabbed several security patches. However, the device is no longer eligible for another minor update as it has crossed the limit of the update.
At the start, the device was listed under the quarterly update list, where it was eligible to get four security patch updates per year. After two years, it was downgraded to the biannual update list with the eligibility to get only two updates per year. Now, after completing the full cycle, the device is removed from the list.
If you are still using the Galaxy A21s device, then you should switch to the latest device, because if you continue to use the device after six months of the last security patch update, then the device will not be able to protect your privacy and data from external threats. If you want to switch to the new midrange device, then you can choose the latest device released in the Galaxy A series this year.

The Galaxy S24 FE could be powered by the Exynos 2400 chipset, the same as the actual Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ models. It will feature 12GB of RAM and run Android 14 out of the box, and the camera setup includes a 50-MP primary, a 12MP ultra-wide, and an 8MP or maybe 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.
