This week brings us our best look at the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Samsung’s top-tier flagship for 2025 will ditch the sharp edges of its predecessor in favor of a more rounded shell.
It appears that the corners of the display are also rounded. There’s a familiar camera arrangement on the back with four shooters positioned inside their own rings. The new leak also gave us a glimpse of One UI 7.0, which features redesigned icons, a Control Center, and a Camera app UI.

Huawei held a big launch event this week, introducing the Mate70 series. The lineup consists of four devices – the Mate 70, Mate 70 Pro, Mate 70 Pro+ and the top-tier Mate 70 RS Ultimate.
All four new Mates feature LTPO OLEDs with FHD+ resolution and 1-120Hz refresh rate. The RS Ultimate gets a brilliant dual-layer OLED with 3,500 nits peak brightness.
All four devices share a 50MP RYYB main sensor with a 24mm variable f/1.4-f/4.0 aperture lens and a 40MP ultrawide module. The new Huawei flagship also gets a new spectral imaging sensor that collects more color data, which should translate into better color accuracy, natural skin tones, and better shadow preservation. The Pros and RS Ultimate have a 48MP periscope (3.5x zoom), while the vanilla comes with a 12MP periscope (5x zoom).
In typical Huawei fashion, there are no official details on the chipset inside the new devices. According to speculations, the Mate 70 uses the Kirin 9010 while the two Pro and RS Ultimate are reportedly preferring the brand new Kirin 9020. The Mate 70 price starts at CNY 5,499 ($757), the Mate 70 Pro+ is priced at CNY 6,499 ($895). The Mate 70 Pro+ is priced starting at CNY 8,499 ($1,173), while the RS Ultimate is priced at CNY 11,999 ($1,656).
