The Samsung Galaxy S25 series is making waves even before it’s released and for good reason. Launching in January 2025 this series is going to push the boundaries in design, performance, and features. With each new series, Samsung sets the bar higher and the S25 series is no exception. Here’s everything we know so far about these highly anticipated devices.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Design and Display:
The S25 series will impress with its slim design and premium materials. The Ultra will have a titanium frame, reducing weight and increasing durability. The 6.9-inch QHD+ AMOLED display will have vibrant visuals with a variable refresh rate of up to 120Hz. Thinner bezels will be on all models for a more immersive experience.
The standard models S25 and S25+ are slightly more compact. The base S25 has a 6.17-inch FHD+ display, while the S25+ has a 6.7-inch QHD+ display. All displays are rumored to have an anti-reflective coating for better outdoor visibility, making them perfect for on-the-go use.
Processors and Chips
The choice of processors for the Samsung Galaxy S25 series has raised some eyebrows. Initially, there were rumors that Samsung might use MediaTek’s flagship processor on one of the S25 models. But a report from Korea’s Hankyung outlet says the entire S25 series will use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors.
Specifically, the S25 series is rumored to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite which offers great power efficiency. This might be a move by Samsung to have consistency across its flagship devices.
Battery Innovations:
Battery is a key component of any smartphone and Samsung might be working on some exciting stuff in this area. The term ‘stacking’ has been going around which refers to a battery arrangement that increases energy capacity in a smaller space. This could increase energy density by 10% and the S25 series will have amazing battery life.
In terms of battery capacity, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumored to have a 5,000 mAh battery which is an upgrade from the previous one. But there’s a catch the standard S25 model might have the same 4,000mAh battery as the S24 so we’ll have to wait and see if that will affect the overall battery life.
Charging speed is another area where the S25 series can impress. The S24’s wired charging is capped at 25W so there’s a high chance Samsung will upgrade it for the S25. That would be a welcome change for faster charging times and a more seamless experience.
AI and Software
Samsung has been working on their AI for a while now and the S25 is expected to take it to the next level. Building on the AI features from the S24, the S25 will have even more of them. Features like Instant Slow-mo, Generative Edit, and Voice Recorder Summaries have already proven themselves and Samsung will likely add more to give users an even smarter phone.
Some AI features are practical, some are still finding their use case. The S25 software updates will likely focus on polishing these features so they are more than just new.
Memory and Storage: RAM Rumors
For RAM, the rumors are mixed. Some say the base Samsung Galaxy S25 will start with 12GB of RAM, a big jump from the S24 and S23. This could be for the AI and overall performance.
But another leak says the S25 will only have 8GB of RAM, which would be the same as the S24 and S23. The S25 Ultra on the other hand is rumored to have 16GB of RAM for power users and those who want the best performance.
Connectivity:
The S25 series is expected to have a major connectivity upgrade—satellite connectivity. This will allow users to send messages, especially to emergency services even when they’re off the grid. This will be a game changer for adventurers and travelers so they can stay connected wherever they go.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 series is looking to be a beast, with improvements in processing power, battery, AI, and connectivity. Some rumors and leaks are conflicting but it’s clear Samsung is going to deliver a flagship that will surpass expectations.
We’ll wait for the official announcements but the S25 series is looking to be a big upgrade, with a mix of the latest tech and better user experience. More updates as we get closer to the launch.
