South Korean tech giant Samsung’s next flagship series, the Samsung Galaxy S 24 series is highly awaited. The rumour mill suggests that this year Samsung will surpass its timeline and the flagship series will launch early. It is expected that the smartphones in this series will be announced on 17 January 2024, which is just next month. Even though the Galaxy S24 series is still not out, we hear that Samsung has already started to work on its successor, the Samsung Galaxy S25 series. A tipster has shared certain key details, let’s take a look and find out more about it.
As I mentioned previously, the Samsung Galaxy S24 series could be unveiled in January 2024. This means that the Samsung Galaxy S25 series is more than a year away from release. Now, a new leak suggests that Samsung will increase its camera quality significantly with the Samsung Galaxy S25 series.

The leak suggests that with the Galaxy S25 series, Samsung is planning to say goodbye to the 10-megapixel telephoto sensor with 10x optical zoom and replace it with a larger 50-megapixel telephoto sensor with 5x optical zoom.
Tipster Revegnus, who is quite spot on with his leaks related to Samsung, took to X (formerly Twitter) to share that Samsung might be ditching the 50-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL GN3 sensor on the Samsung Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ smartphones. The ISOCELL GN3 sensor was first paired with the Samsung Galaxy S23 and the Samsung Galaxy S25+ smartphones. The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 and the Samsung Galaxy S24+ will continue to use this particular sensor.
Revegnus further adds that Samsung could be collaborating with Sony to use the Sony sensors on the Samsung Galaxy S25 and the Samsung Galaxy S25+ smartphones. We are not sure but these could either be Sony IMX 890 or LYT-700 sensors.

Now coming to the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra in particular, Revegnus suggests that Samsung could be working on a 1-inch sensor for this. The camera module on the S25 Ultra could include a 200-megapixel sensor with a sensor size of 1 inch, a pixel pitch of 0.8μm, and a Horizontal and Vertical Dual Pixel Autofocus (H/V DPAF). It will also offer 4X zoom. This would mean a significant upgrade.
Lastly, a tip also suggests that Samsung could pack its S25 series smartphones with an M13-based display instead of the M11-based display. And the Samsung Galaxy S25 could carry Exynos 2500 based on Samsung’s 3nm process in certain markets.
