The Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus could get a key design feature of the Galaxy Z Fold 6

Beyond the cameras, though, the design upgrades look limited

News By Jamie Richards published 18 September 2024

Now that the iPhone 16 series has arrived, we expect the next major phone launch to be the simultaneous release of the rumored Samsung Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra in an update to the company’s current flagship Samsung Galaxy S24 lineup.

We’ve seen renders of the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Ultra already, and now it’s the turn of the middle-of-the-pack Galaxy S25 Plus.

Renders shared by Android Headlines and leaker OnLeaks, based on Computer-Aided Design (CAD) documents, show the Galaxy S25 Plus as changing very little from the previous generation, apart from one key design update.

The renders show the supposed Galaxy S25 Plus toting thick camera rings that look similar to the ones on the Galaxy Z Fold 6. The placement of these cameras, though, seems to be the same as that of the cameras on the Galaxy S24 Plus, and the flat-edged rounded design looks pretty much identical too. 

This follows what we’ve seen from OnLeaks’ Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Ultra renders, which similarly feature a near-identical design to their predecessors while adopting thicker camera rings and, in the case of the Ultra, thinner bezels. 

It’s worth noting that CAD mockups aren’t entirely accurate, as they focus primarily on the dimensions of a product. As Android Headlines notes, the renders do not feature a SIM tray, but this doesn’t necessarily mean Samsung is getting rid of it. 

That said, the images appear to provide our first look at the supposed Galaxy S25 Plus following months of rumors about the phone's internals.
