The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, the company’s upcoming flagship phone, is beginning to surface in leaks and rumors a few months before its anticipated January 2025 official release. Recently, unofficial renders from leaker On Leaks gave us what is regarded as our first glimpse at the phone.
We now have additional information regarding the flagship phone according to a regulatory filing. Prolific leaker Ice Universe discovered its listing with China’s 3C certification body, which contains multiple data regarding the impending Samsung beast.

Samsung to bring satellite connectivity to the Galaxy S25 Ultra
A number of smartphone manufacturers have upgraded their flagship models with satellite connectivity in recent years. Prominent smartphones like Google, Apple, and Huawei come with a satellite-based communication system that might come in quite handy in situations where you are unable to contact emergency services due to a lack of network coverage.
Samsung has been developing a function similar to this for a while, and the Galaxy S25 series may eventually include satellite connectivity. The Chinese version of the Galaxy S25 Ultra (model number SM-9380) has been certified by the China Quality Certification Center and is referred to as a “satellite mobile terminal”. It’s unknown if this functionality is present in the other two models.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra can be charged at 15V/3A, according to the same certification listing. The phone is being charged using a different profile, even though it still converts to 45W of power. 9V of voltage and 5A of current are used to provide 45W of charging for the S24 Ultra. Higher voltage, or cable power loss, is theoretically reduced during transmission. For effective and maybe quicker charging, the gadget receives more power as a result.
Naturally, we’re still talking about 45W of electricity, so don’t anticipate a significant reduction in charging time. Fast charging is now possible for more third-party cables and adapters thanks to the updated charging profile. The maximum current capacity of many third-party cables is 3A, however adapters provide higher voltage and current. When using a 3A cable, charging a phone limited to 9V voltage takes around 27W longer. For more details, check out our preview of the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Everything We Know So Far
Popular Leaker On Leaks has released CAD renders of the Galaxy S25 Ultra in partnership with Android Headline. There might not be any significant design changes in Samsung’s forthcoming flagship if these images are genuine. It is anticipated that the gadget would continue to resemble its predecessor, which had a boxy shape with slightly rounded corners. Furthermore, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to feature almost the exact same quad-camera configuration as the Galaxy S24 Ultra, with 162.8 x 77.6 x 8.2 mm being suggested by the report.
It’s important to note, though, that Ice Universe, another dependable leaker, has identified some errors in these images, particularly with reference to the texturing, metal frame, bezels, and camera ring design.
Highlights:
- On the 3C certification website, we have observed the future Galaxy S25 Ultra, which has the model number SM-S9380.
- Samsung’s next flagship phone is expected to enable 45W rapid charging and include satellite connectivity, according to the listing.
Samsung’s upcoming lineup of flagship smartphones is still some months off. However, online certificates for the anticipated Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra have begun to appear ahead of its introduction. Our team discovered the device today on a 3C certification page, exposing its charging capabilities.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra charging specifications:
The listing also indicates that the Samsung Galaxy will support 45W charging, just like the three smartphone generations before it. But wait, there’s a catch. In contrast to the previous phones, which had 45W charging with 11Vx4.05A specifications, the new phone has 15Vx3A specifications. What advantages this shift will actually bring about in practice is unknown at this time.
