The Galaxy S25 Ultra will be launched by Samsung early next year. It will compete with Apple's upcoming iPhone 16 Pro Max. Therefore, this is a good time to compare the potential designs of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max.

The iPhone 16 Pro series does not have any major design changes. On the other hand, Samsung is said to be refreshing the design with the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The potential design of the iPhone 16 Pro Max is quite accurate, while that of the Galaxy S25 Ultra still needs more information to be confirmed.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max will have a triple rear camera cluster located in a square area that is raised as usual. The LED flash and LiDAR sensor are also located inside the raised part. On the front, the front screen of the iPhone 16 Pro Max has two cutouts to make room for Dynamic Island like the previous two generations.

Samsung is replacing the square corners with slightly rounded corners to enhance the grip experience. The Galaxy S25 Ultra will still have the S Pen slot like its predecessor. The symmetrical screen bezels on the front give it a premium look.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra has a trendy small punch-hole display. The screen cutout is quite small compared to its competitors. The graphics rendering does not include the back.

Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra can surpass Apple's in terms of performance not only in design but also in terms of performance. Qualcomm is about to launch the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 with a new Oryon GPU, which will greatly improve performance.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra's camera system will have at least two major upgrades. The ultra-wide-angle and 3x telephoto cameras will be equipped with sensors with resolutions of up to 50MP. Meanwhile, the main camera and 5x telephoto continue to be equipped with 200MP and 50MP sensors like their predecessors.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max will be unveiled in September as usual, while Samsung will hold its Galaxy Unpacked in January next year. There's a big gap between the two events. We expect to see a lot of tech improvements in the coming months.
