Samsung is preparing to unveil the next generation of its flagship smartphones. The Galaxy S25 series is looming and the rumor mill is buzzing. Based on information from GameStar and MyDealz Magazine, we have summarized the most exciting details for you. From the design to the specifications to the possible release date - you can find out everything here.
Release Date: When will the Samsung Galaxy S25 be released?
January 22, 2025 could be a key date for technology fans. On this day, Samsung is expected to present the Galaxy S25 series at a major event in San Francisco. Global availability is expected just a few weeks later, so the new model should be on the shelves soon.
The timing is clever: before the Chinese New Year and in time to outshine the competition. Samsung seems determined to usher in 2025 with a technological bang.
Models: Variants for different requirements
The series is expected to include three models – Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra – with a possible fourth model, the Galaxy S25 Slim, which could feature a particularly compact design.
- Galaxy S25: Compact and powerful entry into the new series.
- Galaxy S25+: Slightly larger, with more battery capacity and stronger features.
- Galaxy S25 Ultra: For those who expect the best in terms of performance and camera.
- Galaxy S25 Slim (rumor): A possible design statement in a particularly slim construction.
It remains to be seen whether all of these variants will see the light of day. However, Samsung has proven in the past that diversity in the model range can be an important factor for success.
Design: Simple was yesterday
With each new model, Samsung revises the design of its devices, and the Galaxy S25 series is no exception. Especially the Ultra model could usher in a new era of material choice with a titanium casing. Titanium stands for stability and lightness, which should be a real advantage, especially for a large device like the S25 Ultra.
Additional design features:
- Narrower display bezels for a more immersive experience.
- New colors like Moon Night Blue and Titanium Black.
- Rounded edges for a more comfortable feel in the hand.
Samsung should once again bring the interplay of aesthetics and functionality to the point.
