A photograph of the alleged Galaxy S25 Extremely has been handed round social media over the previous day or so, and after a two-second evaluation and a whisper from our sources, we will confidently inform you that is not the true deal.

In the event you see this picture floating round social media and being offered as the primary hands-on picture that includes the upcoming Galaxy S25 Extremely, be as skeptical as you may.

Except that is an uncommon one-off prototype that can by no means see the sunshine of day as a manufacturing system, we’re fairly positive it is a faux. And we’re leaning closely on the latter chance.

One of many odd issues about this picture is that it showcases a tool that appears precisely just like the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Or, nicely, extra like half of a Galaxy Z Fold 6 with the opposite Cowl Display screen half indifferent.

We see the identical body with equivalent antenna and microphone placements, the identical digicam design, and even the facet button has the identical good contour you normally see on gadgets outfitted with side-mounted fingerprint sensors — just like the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and in contrast to the Galaxy S flaghips.

Apart from, the system showcased on this picture is lacking a few rear-facing sensors. There are solely three, matching the design of Samsung’s new foldable cellphone, however going in opposition to what we predict the Galaxy S25 Extremely ought to appear to be.

As for the true deal, we anticipate the Galaxy S25 Extremely to go official someday early subsequent yr. It ought to have a flat body with barely rounded corners and flat panels, and if something, the picture above would possibly exemplify a few of these design traits. Nonetheless, the Galaxy S25 Extremely should not be confused with a Galaxy Z Fold 6 reduce in half.
