Samsung Galaxy S25+ live photos show a familiar design
The renders of the Samsung Galaxy S25+ that are making the rounds on the Internet may have omitted an important change coming next year – a large, slightly recessed area that looks suspiciously like the Camera Control button (really a tiny touch pad) on the new iPhones. There’s a simpler explanation, however.
This is almost certainly the mmWave antenna – the “SM-S936U” indicates that this is a US model (e.g. the SM-S926U is the US S24+), so it should have an antenna for the faster 5G variant. Those antennas look very much like this, a small area below the buttons on the side.
Other than that, not much has changed. By the looks of it, it doesn’t even have the new chunky rings around the camera lenses that we’ve seen on the S25 Ultra. Speaking of the cameras, all the rumors so far claim that there will be no upgrades on the vanilla and plus variants.
Samsung is expected to stick to its usual timeline, meaning that the Galaxy S25 series will be unveiled in January.

No complaints about keeping the design, the S24 is already great. And Europe now gets the Snapdragon, which is great! I hope the base version has UWB. They should have upgraded the cameras though.

That's the thing many people don't understand, why would Samsung change it? They could rearrange the cameras or add a camera bump but neither would improve anything. I would like a two-tone coat of paint, like metallic coatings in cars, but...
