Leaked Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra render shows off bezels so thin, Samsung had to use a waterdrop notch
TL;DR Leaked renders reveal the designs of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 FE and Tab S11 Ultra.
According to the render, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra has thin bezels, a waterdrop notch, dual rear cameras, and S Pen support.
In the leaked render, the Galaxy S25 FE also features a thin bezel, a hole-punch display, and triple rear cameras.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 are the flavor of the month, but Samsung is already working towards the launch of its next lineup of phones and tablets. We expect the Galaxy S25 FE to launch soon, and the company even confirmed that the Galaxy Tab S11 series is coming soon. We've seen leaked renders of the Galaxy S25 FE, but now we have another round of them alongside leaked renders of the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra.
Leaker Evan 'evleaks' Blass has shared renders of both of these devices:
While the renders are low-resolution, there's still plenty to learn from them. For one, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra seems to have a waterdrop notch, unlike the wider notch we see on its predecessor, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. The bezels are thin on the Tab S11 Ultra, but they are thin on the S10 Ultra too, so it remains to be seen what Samsung's plan is for the Ultra tablet. On larger tablets, you do need some bezel space to hold the device comfortably.
The render also shows two rear cameras and support for the S Pen. We know from a previous leak that the Galaxy Tab S11 series will include the Tab S11 and the Tab S11 Ultra, both coming in with the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC.
At this point, the Galaxy S25 FE looks like a typical Samsung phone. The only point of note is that the leaked renders show relatively thinner bezels on the front, corroborating some previous renders.
Samsung is expected to launch these devices in late Q3 or early Q4 of this year. Based on their launch window, it's fair to expect them to come with One UI 8 based on Android 16 out of the box.

Android Circuit: Galaxy S26 Ultra Leaks, OnePlus's New AI Launch, Pixel 10 Pro Fold Specs
Taking a look back at this week's news and headlines across the Android world, including Galaxy S26 Ultra leak, Pixel 10 Pro Fold specs, Galaxy Z Trifold, thin design or wireless charging, OnePlus PlusMind launch, Gemini in a bar, and global smartphone shipments. Android Circuit is here to remind you of a few of the many discussions around Android in the last seven days. You can also read my weekly digest of Apple news here on Forbes. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Ewan Spence New details have emerged on Samsung's Galaxy S models for 2026. The top-line smartphone, presumably the Galaxy S26 Ultra, looks to be supporting a 200 megapixel camera alongside other optical improvements: '...points to a 200MP main camera, but there's no word if this is an upgraded sensor in line with a recent leak. A 50MP telephoto camera was also mentioned, while partners are apparently building the first parts for 5x optical zoom. This presumably means a 50MP 5x camera is making a return. Otherwise, an unspecified ultrawide camera was also mentioned in the database. There's no word on a 3x camera, though." (WinFuture via Android Authority). The ever-reliable FCC certification process typically confirms specs of upcoming devices a month or so before their launch. Google's Pixel 10 Pro Fold has come under its spell, with details on the dimensions, display and battery all revealed: "The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold cover display is going to increase from 6.3 inches to 6.4 inches this year. That should result in a similarly sized inner display, due to Google reducing the cover display's bezel and the hinge. The cover display is also getting a brightness boost to 3,000 nits of peak brightness. That's a 10% increase over the Pixel 9 Pro Fold." (Android Headlines). Samsung's Triple Play What comes after Samsung's Fold and Flip form factors? With the South Korean company applying for a new trademark in South Korea, we may have our answer on the next origami smartphone: "The official name of this device is not yet known. It's therefore all the more interesting that Samsung registered the Galaxy Z Trifold trademark in South Korea earlier this week. The name hints at both the device itself – Trifold – and the specific product line it's part of – Galaxy Z." (GalaxyClub). Samsung Asks "Thin Or Wireless?" The future is very much on Samsung's mind with a public survey of its community asking if 'thin' is preferred to 'Qi2' support on their upcomign handsets. The Qi2 wireless charigng standards requires magnets to lock the charger in place. While Samsung can offer this through a case, to offer it in the phone (as some other manufactuers do) requires a thicker phone. Which will it be? "The first question asks if having 'Qi2 (like MagSafe)' would 'reduce any inconvenience' if the device were to only support charging via wireless charging methods. But in other questions, Samsung asks regarding if users want magnets built into their phone at the expense of the device being thinner. " (9to5Google). OnePlus' AI Move OnePlus has introduced its new AI-powered assistant. PlusMind is likely going to rest under the 'Plus Key' (The replacement fro the iconic three-way alert slider) on new models, but available through the UI on older models. The OnePlus 13S could debut the new service: "Mind Space is a place to "organize your fragmented memories... This is a hub where all of your most important content will live. AI search will allow you to find what you need without the information overload you may be used to, or it will automatically translate content into another language to make it accessible and searchable." (CNet). Gemini In A Bar Staying with AI in the user interface, a closer look at the code in the latest Android Beta shows Google's implementation of a widget styled 'AI Bar' to help surface Gemini features and information. "The feature is still a work in progress, and we expect its functionality to grow and mature as it gets closer to public release. Google hasn't yet announced the feature, so we don't know when it's coming either. We'll keep you updated when we learn more." (Android Authority). And Finally... There's good news and bad news in the smartphone market. New numbers from IDC and its quarterly mobile phone tracker show that shipments are slightly up year-on-year, but there are significant headwinds from many areas of the market that need to be addressed: "The smartphone market remained positive, however uncertainty fueled by tariffs volatility, on-going macro-economic challenges such as forex instability, unemployment and inflation across regions have tapered demand, making consumers deprioritize spending on smartphones, especially in low-end segments." (IDC). Android Circuit rounds up the news from the Android world every weekend here on Forbes.

Google targets cybercriminals behind massive Android malware scheme
Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is suing the creators of BadBox 2.0, a botnet that infected 10 million off-brand Android devices. The malware often came pre-installed on cheap streaming boxes, tablets, and projectors, mostly made in China. Infected devices were used for ad fraud and to hide other cybercriminals' activity behind your home network. Before they even turned it on, the device was already infected. That's the reality for millions who unknowingly bought Android-powered devices hijacked by BadBox 2.0, a massive botnet that Google is now trying to shut down in court. As detailed in a blog post, Google is filing a new lawsuit in New York against the group behind the operation. It says BadBox 2.0 is the largest known botnet targeting internet-connected TVs and other Android-based gadgets. According to the company, more than ten million devices were compromised. These weren't high-end Android TVs or certified tablets. Think of off-brand streaming boxes, digital projectors, and low-cost tablets, mostly running Android Open Source Project, which lacks Google's built-in security protections. Many were sold under unfamiliar brand names, and in many cases, the malware was already baked in when buyers took them out of the box. Robert Triggs / Android Authority Once powered on and connected to the internet, the devices became part of a hidden network controlled by cybercriminals. Some were used to commit large-scale ad fraud, simulating fake ad clicks to steal money from advertisers. Others were sold off as part of 'residential proxy' services, allowing shady actors to route their traffic through real users' home networks and effectively hiding their tracks behind the unsuspecting user's IP address. The botnet was uncovered through a joint investigation by Google, HUMAN Security, and Trend Micro. Google says its Ad Traffic Quality team spotted the activity early, blocking bad traffic and shutting down thousands of accounts trying to profit from the scheme. On your end, Google Play Protect now flags and blocks apps with BadBox behavior, even if they're sideloaded from outside the Play Store. The FBI has also issued a public warning, urging people to check their connected devices for signs of tampering or strange behavior, especially if the hardware came from an unknown brand or required you to disable Google Play Protect during setup. The agency says most of the compromised gadgets were manufactured in China and sold with malware pre-installed, or infected shortly after setup via malicious apps from unofficial app stores. By taking the case to court, Google hopes to target the people behind the scheme. While the company's protections contained the damage, it's another reminder that the real cost of a budget streaming box might not be just what you pay at checkout. Got a tip? Talk to us!
