The Galaxy S25 will be unveiled at some point the first quarter of next yearbut we already have a large number of leaks and quite reliable information that allowed us to learn many things about this new generation of Samsung, so I wanted to update our special article dedicated to telling you everything we know about the Galaxy S25.

I have carefully filtered all the information that has appeared so far to only select who have sufficient credibility, and I left out the ones that don’t make sense or are unreliable. However, keep in mind that despite everything, we are dealing with information that has not been confirmed, and therefore it is possible that some of it is not true.

Generally speaking, everything I’ve seen suggests that the Galaxy S25 will be a significantly continuous smartphone, and this will not bring important changes compared to the Galaxy S24 either on the design level or on the hardware level. Samsung has followed this trend for several years and in most cases has combined minor changes at the design level with slight hardware improvements.

What design will the Galaxy S25 have?

We can wait the same base we saw in the Galaxy S24, including a flat bezel and possibly a slight reduction in screen bezels. We’ll also see a front and rear finish, and the front island will be repeated to house the front-facing camera.

I have also seen some rumors that consider a little more significant changes, and that talk about a possible adjustment in the layout of the rear cameras, but most of the information points in the opposite direction and says that in general the line, such as this new generation It will practically be a carbon copy of the current generation, whose only important innovation compared to the Galaxy S23 was the introduction of a flat metal frame.

A completely coherent design, but Samsung could surprise us with the quality of the finishes, as it is rumored she could expand the titanium structure from the Galaxy S24 Ultra to all models of the Galaxy S25 series. This makes sense as it would allow it to give a premium feel to all of its new smartphones, but at the same time it could mean a significant price increase and rob the Ultra model of that distinguishing touch, so it’s unlikely.

With that in mind, the Galaxy S25 Ultra will most likely be used again titanium, possibly higher end compared to the Galaxy S24 and that the standard and “plus” models repeat the built-in chassis aluminium. All models will have a layer glass on the front and back.

How many models will Samsung launch the Galaxy S25?

We can expect a total of three models, as in the current generation. The standard model will continue to be the most basic and the one that will serve as the entry point to Samsung’s high-end range. The “plus” model will have a larger screen size than the previous one and may also offer some improvements at the hardware level. The “ultra” model will be the top of the range, both in terms of display size and specifications.

On this occasion, we did not notice rumors focused on possible changes in the number of models of the Galaxy S25 series, but this indeed happened with the Galaxy S24, although apparently were not met, because Samsung ended up repeating the same old strategy and once again launched three distinctly different models. In fact, the differences between the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ have become sharper in this generation.

We’ll have to wait and see if Samsung decides to do the same in this generation, i.e. if it again takes measures to differentiate the Galaxy S25+ a little more from the standard model. It has many interesting options for doing this without losing the essence of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, such as the use of lower grade titanium in the “plus” model and higher grade titanium in the “ultra” model.

Possible specifications of the Galaxy S25

• SoC Snapdragon 8 Gen4.
• 6.36-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with FHD+ resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate.
• IP68 certified for dust and water resistance.
• 8 GB of RAM. Samsung can increase the RAM to 12 GB or run an optional configuration with this amount of memory.
• 128 GB of storage capacity in the basic version. Versions with 256 GB and 512 GB of storage capacity.
• 12MP front camera.
• Three rear cameras: 50 MP wide-angle with the new Sony sensor, 12 MP wide-angle and 10 MP telephoto.
• 4000 mAh battery compatible with fast charging.
• Android 15 as an operating system with OneUI 7.0 layer.

If we compare it to the Galaxy S24, we see two relevant changes, the increase in screen size that occurs from 6.2 inches to 6.36 inchesand switch to the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 SoC. According to the latest rumors, Samsung will only use this SoC in the entire Galaxy S25 family, so there will be no variants with the Exynos 2500, as it is said to have manufacturing problems with its 3nm node.

Possible specifications of the Galaxy S25+

• SoC Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.
• 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with QHD+ resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate.
• IP68 certified for dust and water resistance.
• 12 GB of RAM. Samsung might release a version with 16 GB of RAM.
• 256 GB of storage capacity in the basic version and 512 GB of storage capacity in the higher version.
• 12MP front camera.
• Three rear cameras: 50 MP wide-angle with the new Sony sensor, 12 MP wide-angle and 10 MP telephoto.
• 4800 mAh battery with fast charging.
• Android 15 as an operating system with OneUI 7.0 layer.

In this case, the differences compared to the Galaxy S24+ are at the hardware level they would be very small, because Samsung will keep the same screen size and the same amount of RAM. The most relevant thing that we can take for granted is the SoC change, which will be the same as the previous Snapdragon 8 Gen4 model.

Some rumors have also talked about the possibility of the entire Galaxy S25 family using next-generation AMOLED panels, and say that these could LPDDR6 memory and UFS 4.0 storage with 4 lanesbut none of this is confirmed and it seems unlikely that it will arrive in time to introduce all these advancements in the said smartphone line.

Possible specifications of the Galaxy S25 Ultra

• SoC Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.
• 6.9-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X display with QHD+ resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate.
• IP68 certified for dust and water resistance.
• 12 GB of RAM. Samsung might release a version with 16 GB of RAM.
• 256 GB of storage capacity in the basic version. Versions with 512 GB and 1 TB storage capacity.
• 12MP front camera.
• Four rear cameras: 200 MP wide-angle with Samsung’s new one-inch sensor, 50 MP wide-angle, 50 MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom and 50 MP periscope with 5x optical zoom.
• 5000 mAh battery with fast charging.
• Android 15 as an operating system with OneUI 7.0 layer.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra could be the model that will bring the most improvements compared to its current-gen equivalent, as recent rumors suggest it will not only use a more powerful next-gen SoC, but also:

• It will have a larger screen (6.9 inches vs. 6.8 inches).
• It will use a new generation AMOLED panel.
• It will have more RAM.
• It will have important improvements in the rear cameras. Highlights include the use of a new sensor in the 200MP camera, a move to a 50MP wide-angle lens and a new 50MP telephoto lens.

A look at the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 SoC

This chip will be the brains of the Galaxy S25 and the first leaks suggest that it has everything to become one of the most powerful in its category. It will be manufactured on TSMC’s 3nm node and at the CPU level will be configured with two Cortex-X925 cores high performance a six Cortex-A725 cores more efficient and with lower consumption, both with the classic customization layer that Qualcomm usually gives to its SoCs.

Corterx-X925 cores will be able to work on maximum 4.26 GHz, which is a huge jump from the 3.39GHz peak recorded by the Snapdragon 8 Gen3’s Cortex-X4 core. Cortex-A725 cores will run at max 2.8 GHz. If confirmed, the performance difference this new SoC could make over the current generation would be quite large.

As for the GPU, the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 will be equipped with an Adreno 830 running at 965 MHz. It is too early to talk about the performance, but the first rumors say that it will be able to surpass the performance of the GPU installed in the device. by 10% Apple M2. Compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen3, the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 is estimated to offer improving CPU and GPU performance by around 35%.

How much will they cost and when will the Galaxy S25 be released?

Samsung could repeat what it did with the Galaxy S24, that is, it could introduce the Galaxy S25 first and delay its launch by a week or two. With that in mind, I think this new generation will most likely be introduced in mid-January next year and will be available between the end of that month and the beginning of February.

There is also a possibility that Samsung will opt for a late launch, but seeing how the market is today and considering that Apple will launch the iPhone 16 in September, I think Does not make sense The South Korean should wait until the end of February or March, because he would leave the bitten apple “alone” longer.

As for the price of the Galaxy S25 right now we have two main currents, one stating that they will cost the same as the current generation as Samsung doesn’t want to stray too far from its big rival, Apple, and another that says there will be a small price increase. Both make sense, although personally I’m more inclined to think that in the end Samsung will keep the price level of the current generation.

I’ll leave you below price estimate that this new generation could have, whether the price of the current one stays the same or eventually increases slightly. If you have any questions, you can leave them in the comments and I will help you solve them.

• Basic Galaxy S25 with 128 GB: 909 euros, if there is no price increase. Between 949 and 999 euros if there is a price increase.
• Basic Galaxy S25+ with 256 GB: 1,159 euros, unless there is a price increase. Between 1,199 and 1,249 euros if there is a price increase.
• Galaxy S25 Ultra base with 256GB: €1,479 if the price doesn’t increase. If the price were to rise, it would range between 1,529 and 1,599 euros.
