S25 Ultra appears to have no 5G antenna

Hi, my S25 Ultra arrived yesterday, and looking at some videos, I noticed that on seemingly all review models, both in the UK and US, there is a visible 5G antenna on the left-hand side. However, on my model, there is no such thing. I am in the UK and pre-ordered it from the Samsung website. What's going on? See attached pics. Has anyone else's set come without that antenna? Does this mean my model doesn't support 5G?

Out of interest, what launcher is everyone using?

Stock OneUI7. Will evaluate and check this out first. Plenty to learn before I may start messing around with customisation. 👍

Weird how it's like that on us models but not uk? Must be a regulatory thing so you know where the 5g antenna is. Still prefer the UK one so there is no break in the titanium

My S25 Ultra has this and I'm in the UK. Jet Black 512GB. My friend has the same phone too and he has the antenna there. I'm not sure why yours would be different.

That's very odd. I expect this to come out in the wash in the next few days.

I've just checked my software version and my software version ends in (EUX) (Europe) version. I wonder if yours could be imported or somehow different. It seems very strange that you would get a different phone  🤔

How do i check that?

Easy to check. Go to, Settings > About Phone > Software Information > Service provider software version.

I'm not sure what other software versions have been released regarding different countries but it's worth a look.

We don't need the antenna in the UK so it's not there. It depends if you have 5g in your area, I am on 02 and have 5g, but I know that not all network providers who use it's network have 5g in specific areas, I hope that makes sense?

I find it strange why their S25 Ultra doesn't have the antenna and my friend and I have phones with the antenna.
