Samsung continues its tradition of releasing innovative flagship devices, and while the Galaxy S24 series is still fresh, anticipation is already building for the Galaxy S25. Although no official details have been revealed yet, we can gather insights based on past releases and the latest rumors.
Historically, Samsung debuts its Galaxy S-series smartphones early in the year, typically between January and March. The Galaxy S25 is expected to follow this pattern, though an exact date hasn’t been confirmed. Based on previous years, an early 2025 release seems likely.
Possible Price
Samsung has maintained consistent pricing for its base and Plus models over the last few years, with prices starting at $799 for the base version and $999 for the Plus. While the Galaxy S24 Ultra saw a $100 increase, it’s unlikely we’ll see further price hikes for the Galaxy S25 series.
Design Rumors
The Galaxy S25 could bring some exciting design changes. Leaks suggest that Ilhwan Lee, a former Mercedes-Benz designer, is leading the effort to refresh the Galaxy brand’s design. The S25 Ultra is expected to retain its titanium frame, but may weigh less and have slimmer bezels, while the base Galaxy S25 could feature a more compact design with a 6.17-inch display.
Processor and Performance
Samsung may continue using Qualcomm chips, likely the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 for the U.S. market, which is anticipated to offer significant performance boosts. However, there are rumors that the base and Plus models could feature Samsung’s own Exynos 2500 chip. A MediaTek-powered version may also be introduced in select regions.
Camera and Photography
The Galaxy S25 Ultra could bring camera improvements, such as a new 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 5x zoom, upgraded from the previous 10MP lens. It’s also rumored that the ultrawide and telephoto lenses could see better sensors for improved image quality. However, the standard S25 and S25 Plus may retain similar camera hardware to the S24 series.
Battery Life and Charging
Samsung is reportedly testing a new battery stacking method, which could enhance the battery’s capacity without increasing size. While the S25 Ultra will likely stick to its 5,000mAh battery, the base S25 might continue with a 4,000mAh capacity, potentially improving battery life through a more efficient Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip.
With these rumors circulating, we can expect the Samsung Galaxy S25 to offer a blend of performance upgrades, design refinements, and potential camera improvements. Keep an eye out as more details emerge in the coming months.
