South Korean giant already working on Galaxy S25, the next-generation smartphone that will succeed the Galaxy S24 and which has already been the target of numerous rumors and small leaks. This is a strategy commonly followed by all the big names in the tech world, as it allows them to speed up development times as much as possible and gives them more room to manoeuvre.
For obvious reasons, we still don’t have much information about the Galaxy S25, but we’ve already started to see some interesting rumors that have a lot of credibility and that generally paint us a new generation that won’t mean much development. compared to current models. This is completely logical after all. it is increasingly difficult to innovate in the smartphone sector, both in terms of hardware and design.
The Galaxy S25 series is coming significantly continuous compared to the Galaxy S24, especially at the design level, although of course this does not mean that we will not see some changes. It simply means that there will be a minimum of them. In terms of hardware, it is likely that the new features will be deeper compared to those introduced in the previous generation, although I will talk about this topic a little later.
Before you start, keep in mind that everything I’m going to tell you in this article is information that is not officially confirmed, and therefore changes may occur in whole or in part. However, they make a lot of sense. They are very trustworthy and they could also end up being fulfilled in general, which has already happened with many of the rumors we offered you about the Galaxy S24 at the time. Without further ado, get comfortable and let’s get started.
Galaxy S25: design and build quality

The Samsung Galaxy S series consists of high-end smartphones that are considered premium devices, which means that they always have a design and finish in line with what we can expect from the series, and that they are manufactured in metal and glass. Plastic has no place in this family, although it was occasionally used on the Galaxy S21, which had a back made of said material.
The Galaxy S24 and S24+ are made of aluminum and glass, while the Galaxy S24 Ultra used titanium and glass. It most likely is that Samsung repeats the same approach with the Galaxy S25, though We can’t rule out that the titan will eventually reach the Galaxy S25+. This would be a way to differentiate said terminal from the base model, which would continue to be the most economical option.
In terms of design, we shouldn’t expect big changes compared to the current generation. Samsung has already introduced an important innovation with the Galaxy S24 compared to the previous generation, a completely flat frame in the standard and plus versions and a completely flat display in the ultra model. The same approach will be repeated in the Galaxy S25, and if we find any changes, they will be minor and probably limited to the placement or integration of the cameras.
I know some are still waiting for Samsung to dare to introduce a front-facing camera fully integrated into the screen, but to be honest, I thinkIt will probably never happen, as it is something that will greatly increase the cost of production with the impact it will have on the selling price, and it will also greatly reduce the image quality that said camera will be able to offer.
Versions and possible specifications

Unless there are surprises, Samsung will repeat the strategy of the current generation, which means that we will see a total three new terminals, standard model, plus version and ultra, the second being the most complete and expensive of the three. The Galaxy S25 Ultra will not only have a larger screen, but will also continue to offer a higher build quality thanks to the use of titanium and will have an excellent camera array.
As with the current generation and previous ones, the Galaxy S25 family will use two different types of SoC, Samsung Exynos 2500 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. According to the latest information, the Exynos 2500 will have a ten-core CPU divided into a high-performance Cortex-X5 core at 3.2 GHz, three Cortex-A730 cores at 2.5 GHz, two additional Cortex-A730 cores at 2.3 GHz and four high-efficiency cores Cortex-A520 at 2 GHz. Your GPU will be a Xclipse 950 based on RDNA 4 architecture. It will be produced on Samsung’s second generation 3nm node.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will have a Nuvia 8-core processor identified with the code name Phoenix, which would be divided into two high-performance cores with a peak frequency of up to 4 GHz and another six balanced cores operating at a lower frequency. As it could not be otherwise, its GPU will be a new generation Adreno capable of offering significantly higher performance than the current generation. This chip will be manufactured in the node 3nm from TSMC.
It’s still not clear How will Samsung distribute the use of these two SoCs? in the Galaxy S25 line, but the standard model will most likely be based on the Exynos 2500, and the plus model will also use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in certain markets. The Galaxy S25 Ultra could only arrive with a Qualcomm chip, as has already happened with the current generation.
Another important change that we could see and which I consider necessary to emphasize is e.gl increasing the amount of RAM on all Galaxy S25. This could be motivated by the increasing commitment of the company for using AI to improve the user experience, a technology that consumes many resources and requires a large amount of RAM to offer acceptable performance.
Possible specifications of the Galaxy S25

- Exynos 2500 SoC.
- 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with FHD+ resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate.

The use of new sensors in all models will mean a significant improvement in the photographic level of the main camera, and the change in the SoC will result in a significant increase in performance levels on CPU and GPU. Seeing the development of the Xclipse 940 GPU based on RDNA 3, I think it will be interesting to see what the RDNA 4 architecture is able to offer in the Xclipse 950.
For those who have a Galaxy S24 or even a Galaxy S23, these changes will not be enough to encourage them to switch smartphones, but for those who have a Galaxy S22 or the previous model, they would start to become more interesting. Galaxy S25 will be guaranteed seven years of updatesas was the case with the Galaxy S24 series, so they will offer a long life.
When will the Galaxy S25 arrive and how much will they cost?

Samsung maintains an annual refresh cycle, so while we don’t have a confirmed launch date, we can infer that the Galaxy S25 launch should take place sometime in January 2025 and that it will between the end of that month and the beginning of February 2025. This margin would leave us exactly one year gap between the current generation and the future generation.
However, we must always remember that Samsung can change both the presentation and the launch date. depending on your needsalthough it is in no way likely that he would decide to go beyond the month of February 2025, since the giant is bringing the launch of its new generations closer to the month of January, so that between its arrival and the presentation of the preview of the new Apple iPhone
As for the price, I have a lot of doubts about what Samsung could do with the Galaxy S25, although I can see what happened with the current generation I’m inclined to think that they could try to keep the same price level, or that in the worst case we would only see small increase. It will also all depend on the final specs of each model, although as a rough estimate I think it will be more or less like this:
- Estimated price of the Galaxy S25 with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB: between 909 and 959 euros.
- Estimated price of the Galaxy S25+ with 12 GB RAM and 256 GB: between 1,159 and 1,219 euros.
- Estimated price of the Galaxy S25 Ultra with 12 GB RAM and 256 GB: between 1,419 and 1,479 euros.
To support purchases of this new generation of smartphones, Samsung will continue to rely on reservations and pre-purchase events, which means it will once again offer incentives to those who choose to pre-order their Galaxy S25 ahead of its launch. This period usually lasts one to two weeks after the announcement of the new generation, and the promotion usually consists of discounts and gifts such as chargers or wireless headphones.
