Samsung Galaxy S25 Series
Samsung is at it again: Galaxy S25 series will combine cutting-edge technology with sleek design, redefining the smartphone experience.

Throw in the promise of beautiful AMOLED displays, and long-range batteries.s
Sleek Design and Immersive Display
The Galaxy S25 series is an improvement when it comes to form. The body of the series flagship - the Galaxy S25 Ultra - is now more streamlined, with slightly rounded corners, slim bezels,s, and a polished metallic frame. Its camera rings blend with the device’s body, resulting in a more modern and cohesive look. The S25 and S25+ come both with retouched classic Galaxy design, which is complemented by thinner bezels that improve the screen-to-body ratio.
Display's Features:
- Galaxy S25 Ultra: 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 3200x1440 resolution, with 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, HDR10+ supported.
- Galaxy S25+ and S25: 6.6-inch and 6.1-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X, Full HD+ resolution displays respectively.
Samsung’s displays are long considered to be top of the mark and the S25 series doesn’t change that narrative. The most radical distinction between the Ultra model and its base analogs is stronger visuals coupled with smoother scrolling, which is important for gamers and content creators.
Performance: A Powerhouse with Snapdragon 8 Elite
For the first time, Samsung’s S-series flagship models around the world will utilize Qualcomm’s Snap Dragon 8 Elite, eliminating the need for a regional Exynos version. This specific chip is projected to have greater efficiency with a 20% improvement in performance while utilizing less power.
Configurations:
- Galaxy S25: Up to 12GB of RAM and 256/512 of storage.
- Galaxy S25+: Same as S25 but with a larger size of display and battery.
- Galaxy S25 Ultra: Up to 16GB of RAM with 256/512/1TB of storage.
This multicore configuration enables Backbone’s next 8 Elites with faster AI processing, enhanced gaming, and more efficient multitasking due to its superior fabrication at 3nm. So the S25 series has no bottleneck on requirements.
Next Generation of Camera Technology
We anticipate that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will revolutionize the world of smartphone cameras. Samsung is also including a new 200MP primary sensor with improved image stabilization and low light sensitivity, that performs the task of a professional camera.
Camera Details (Galaxy S25 Ultra):
- Main Camera: A 200MP sensor complete with AI improvements.
- Ultra-Wide Camera: 50MP which is designed for wider shots.
- Telephoto Lens: A ground-breaking 50MP sensor combined with 3.5x optical zoom and Samsung’s new ALoP (All Lenses on Prism) technology that allows for thinner camera modules without sacrificing image quality.
We expect the S25 and S25+ to sport a triple camera system while slightly downgrading the specs, but still retaining good image quality. These models are going to be focused more on enhanced AI features like better portrait modes, night photography, and object detection.
Battery and Charging
The S25 series of Galaxy assures users an outstanding battery life as a result of new highly efficient processors and advanced battery life management systems.

Galaxy S25+ and S25 still target users who want enhanced long-life performance, while Ultra focuses more on the robust battery.
Software: One UI 7 and Android 15
With Android 15, One UI 7 will be the version of the software shipped alongside Galaxy S25. One UI 7 packs a ton of new functionalities such as:
- “Now Bar” for Live Activities allows users to check for live updates such as athletic scoring, delivery tracking, and music being played all from the lock screen on their phone.
- AI-powered recommendations are further enhanced for suggested applications to use, settings, and user actions that are likely to be taken.
