Leaked renderings of the Galaxy S25 may have misrepresented these parts

Over the past few days, we've been greeted with leaked renders of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, giving us the best look yet at the upcoming devices. While the renders look great, the usual caveat applies that these are early-stage renders, and the look of the device could understandably change by the time the phone goes on sale. However, there could be more caveats that apply to these particular renders.

In a Weibo post, Ice Universe shows images from alleged CAD files of the older Galaxy S24 Plus. These images put the information visible in the files into perspective.

The phone shown has only a front facade, but there is no information about the bezel, display or earpiece, so Ice Universe suggests that these details will have to be guessed at.

Furthermore, the CAD file shows the back of the device with outlines for the camera, but lacks the texture details within the camera markings. Ice Universe mentions that leaker OnLeaks is using information from the company's previous smartphones to guess what the upcoming phone might look like.

As part of the Galaxy S25 Ultra renderings shared by Android Headlines and OnLeaks, Ice Universe says that OnLeaks has picked out the details of the Galaxy Z Fold 6's camera ring, but that may not be accurate. The position of the antenna line is also said to have been guessed, as is the body color.

Ice Universe clarifies that the CAD file usually contains accurate data about a phone's body shape, screen shape, camera shape and position, and the size and position of other buttons and openings. The file does not contain data about the size of the “bezel,” openings such as the earpiece, design details such as those inside the camera lens, phone color, and antenna strip position.

Ice Universe on X (formerly known as Twitter) shared a modified version of the leaked renders of the Galaxy S25 Ultra based on their knowledge of the upcoming phone.

You can compare Ice Universe's modified render with OnLeak's version shown just above it. You'll notice that the camera rings are different and the Galaxy S25 Ultra's display bezels have also been reduced. Even the earpiece has become smaller and is barely visible in the modified renders.

Ice Universe complains similarly about the leaked renderings of the Galaxy S25 from Android Headlines and OnLeaks. The Galaxy S25's bezel is said to be narrower than the Galaxy S24's. Ice Universe then published a modified version of the Galaxy S25 render, showing a slightly narrower bezel.

At this point, we would like to stress the nature of leaked renders. They should always be taken with a pinch of salt. Nothing can be considered final until the company officially announces a product. While we have a high level of trust in certain leakers, all leaked information should be treated with appropriate skepticism. The same continues to apply to the Galaxy S25 series as it does to any other smartphone leaks.
