It seems like the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max has a lot thicker rear camera bump than the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. This tidbit was revealed by one of the most accurate tipsters out there, Ice Universe.
Apple’s flagship has a lot thicker camera bump than the Galaxy S25 Ultra will offer
He shared this information via X, while sharing the exact thickness too. The iPhone 16 Pro Max camera setup on the back protrudes 4.3mm. The Galaxy S25 Ultra’s will be a lot thinner at 2.4mm.
Do note that the iPhone 16 Pro Max has a general camera island on the back, from which the lenses are protruding. On the Galaxy S25 Ultra, the lenses will stick out directly from the phone’s backplate.
Samsung’s upcoming flagship has been all over the news lately. We’ve exclusively revealed the phone’s design quite recently. Following that, Ice Universe shared several tidbits about the device.
The upcoming ‘Ultra’ model will be considerably lighter this time around
The Galaxy S25 Ultra will be notably lighter than its predecessor, it would seem. Ice Universe claims that it will weigh only 219 grams, compared to 233 grams of the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
The phone is tipped to arrive with only one camera change, when it comes to its rear cameras. Only the ultrawide camera will see a hardware bump, all the other cameras will remain the same.
This smartphone is expected to arrive in the first quarter of next year. It will arrive alongside the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+. If we had to guess, we’d say that all three phones are coming in January.
Speaking of which, we’ve recently also revealed the Galaxy S25 design, in case you’re interested. The smallest Galaxy S25 series phone will definitely be worth considering based on everything we know thus far. It will be a compelling compact device.
