After the launch of the iPhone 16 series, all eyes are on Samsung as everyone is waiting to see what the South Korean tech giant is going to offer with its upcoming flagship Galaxy S25 series. If we go by Samsung’s timeline, the devices are expected to drop in the early weeks of 2025. Ahead of the launch, the rumour mill is already spinning in full swing. Thanks to that, we already know what all to expect from the upcoming Galaxy S25 series. Let me share it with you too.
Samsung has reportedly codenamed the Galaxy S25 series as “paradigm”. This hints at the fact that we might get to see a potential change in design language. It is also rumoured that former Mercedes-Benz designer Ilhwan Lee is working on the design of the Galaxy S25 series and is trying to make it look “fresh”. The initial render of the device hints at flat sides and rounded corners, similar to Sony’s Xperia line. The devices are also expected to be slightly taller and thinner this time, with a refined camera island. They can come in new colours such as Black, Green, Blue, and Titanium.
There is not much talk about their displays but if reports are to be believed, Samsung can introduce a new OLED panel that will have the fingerprint sensor on the whole panel. This also means that you can scan multiple fingerprints at the same time.
Further, Samsung might also rename the models of the Galaxy S25 series. Tipster Yogesh Brar suggests that the Galaxy S25 Ultra could be rebranded as the “Galaxy S25 Note,” and the S25 Plus as the “S25 Pro.”
The entire Samsung Galaxy S25 series is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. This means that this time Samsung will shift from its previous Snapdragon-Exynos plan. One UI 7 is also expected to be unveiled along with the Galaxy S25 series.
On the camera front, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra can get an upgrade. It can feature a 200-megapixel primary camera along with a 50-megapixel ultrawide lens and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto sensor with 5x optical zoom. Additionally, Samsung may use a new JN1 sensor for the ultrawide lens and an improved Isocell sensor for the 3x telephoto lens.
