Samsung’s Galaxy S phones are always highly anticipated, with the latest models being the S24, S24 Plus, and S24 Ultra. However, we’re already eager for what the Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup will bring.
While the current Samsung phones are impressive, there’s always room for improvement, as noted in our reviews for the S24, S24 Ultra, and S24 Plus.
Looking forward, we’ve compiled a wishlist for the Samsung Galaxy S25, but there are also early rumors circulating about these upcoming devices, which we’ll discuss below. We’ll continue updating this article with any new leaks or information.
Here’s a quick rundown:
- What is it? The next flagship from Samsung
- When is it out? Likely early 2025
- How much will it cost? Expected to start at $799 / £799 / AU$1,399
Expected Pricing and Release Date
The Samsung Galaxy S25 series is likely to launch around January 2025, following the pattern of previous releases. These phones could be costly, especially if powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Considering the starting price of the Galaxy S24, we anticipate the S25 to start at a minimum of $799 / £799 / AU$1,399. However, with potential price increases for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, the cost may exceed this baseline. The higher-tier models, like the Galaxy S25 Plus and Ultra, are expected to be even more expensive, possibly surpassing the prices of their predecessors.
Enhancements Wishlist for Samsung Galaxy S25
The Samsung Galaxy S25 series holds potential for significant improvements over its predecessor, the Galaxy S24 line.
- Revamped Design:
We’re anticipating substantial design changes to differentiate the S25 from its predecessors, fostering excitement. - Enhanced AI:
The S24’s AI features showed promise but lacked refinement; we hope for more useful and polished AI tools. - Streamlined Software:
Simplifying Samsung’s feature-packed software would enhance user experience, making it more intuitive to navigate. - Unified Chipset:
Avoiding chipset discrepancies across regions, as seen with the S24, would provide consistency and clarity to consumers. - Improved Zoom Capability:
Restoring the 10x optical zoom, possibly with a better sensor, would enhance the S25 Ultra’s camera versatility. Additionally, upgrading the 3x zoom could offer a 5x optical quality crop.
