Design Maestro Takes Charge: Hubert H. Lee Leads Samsung’s MX Team in Transforming Galaxy S25 Aesthetics
As anticipation builds for the imminent launch of Samsung’s Galaxy S24 lineup next month, whispers about its successor, the Galaxy S25 series, are already making waves. According to credible tipster Revegnus (@Tech_Reve), the flagship for 2025 is poised to undergo substantial design overhauls, setting the stage for a refreshed Samsung Galaxy experience. Spearheading this ambitious design transformation is none other than Hubert H. Lee, the Executive Vice President and Head of Samsung’s MX (Mobile eXperience) design team.
The leaked information suggests that Hubert H. Lee, previously the Chief Design Officer of Mercedes-Benz China, is taking the reins to redefine the aesthetic identity of the Samsung Galaxy brand.
This strategic move aligns with Samsung’s commitment to innovation and visual excellence. Interestingly, rumors indicate that the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ models will bid farewell to Samsung’s ISOCELL sensors for their primary cameras, opting instead for a Sony image sensor.
If these leaks hold true, the Galaxy S25 series is poised to break away from the familiar design language observed in current and past flagship models. This bold step not only signals a departure from the norm but also positions the Galaxy S25 lineup to set a new benchmark for the design landscape of future Galaxy S devices.
The fusion of Hubert H. Lee’s design expertise and Samsung’s commitment to pushing boundaries hints at an exciting visual evolution in the pipeline for the Galaxy S25 series.
The same tipster earlier claimed that Samsung will ditch the ISOCELL sensors and use Sony image sensors as the main camera on the purported Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+. This is considered to be a notable upgrade over the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ that have the in-house Samsung ISOCELL GN3 50-megapixel sensor.
Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series comprising Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra is expected to go official on January 17. Both Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 Ultra are expected to run on Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, paired with 12GB of RAM. The Galaxy S24, in contrast, is said to be powered by an Exynos 2400 chipset. The Galaxy S24 Ultra is expected to have a Titanium frame while the regular and Plus models could have an aluminium armour frame.
