What we have seen is that the front of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra would be completely flat like that of the current model, but the differences would be found in the corners. Samsung would opt for rounded corners, thus improving both the aesthetics and ergonomics of the device.

In recent years, one of the main complaints about Samsung’s Ultra models is that they have questionable ergonomics. The sharp corners make the device not very comfortable to hold in the hand, but it seems that this problem will be solved with the next generation.

This means the next Korean tank it will be thinner than its predecessorsas the Galaxy S24 Ultra was 8.6 millimeters thick and the Galaxy S23 Ultra to Galaxy S20 Ultra models were 8.9 millimeters thick.

Without going further, the recent GooglePixel9 It has satellite connectivity but is currently only available in the United States, you can find it on the Huawei Mate 60 Pro

In fact, it was initially rumored that Android 14 would bring support for satellite connection, which ultimately did not happen. With Android 15 just around the corner, satellite connectivity is expected to become widespread.
