Galaxy S24 series (Samsung)Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra vs Samsung Galaxy S24: Design
There are similarities between the two phones, but they’re very easy to set apart. Other than the size difference, the Galaxy S25 Ultra also comes with sharper corners, and thinner display bezels. So you can set it apart even when you’re looking at the phones from the front. Both of them have a centered display camera hole up top, and a flat display as well. That size difference is quite jarring, though.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is made out of titanium and glass, while the Galaxy S24 utilizes aluminum and glass. The power/lock button and the volume rocker keys are located on the right-hand side of both phones.
