A new Samsung smartphone with the model number SM-S9380 has just been spotted on China’s 3C Certification database.
This is the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra as the earlier Galaxy S24 Ultra was associated with a similar SM-S9280 model number. Just as the smartphone has made its appearance on the certification website, prominent leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer better known as OnLeaks has also given an insight into the design of the Galaxy S25 Ultra through a leaked render.
Galaxy S25 Ultra Design
The CAD render displayed by OnLeaks shows that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is not expected to have major changes in design with respect to its predecessor. However, another tipster Ice Universe has claimed that the render is not completely correct and there are a few errors as far as the metal frame, bezels, texture, and design of the camera’s ring are concerned. He also shared a modified CAD render of the handset.
