Samsung Galaxy S25 Series Launch Date Leaked; Might Land Earlier Than Usual

Samsung usually launches its latest Galaxy S series phones in late January or February. The South Korean tech giant is yet to reveal a possible date for the launch of the Galaxy S25 lineup, but a newly leaked survey suggests that we may see the phones earlier than usual this time. Samsung launched the Galaxy S24 series in January this year. Last year’s Galaxy S23 series was unveiled in February. Samsung’s new non-foldable flagship lineup is likely to include the vanilla Samsung Galaxy S25 alongside the Galaxy S25+, Galaxy S25 Ultra and a fourth Slim variant.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Lineup Early Launch Evidence Is Growing

A leaked Samsung promotional survey, spotted by X user IMEI Pham, points to an early January release for the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra. As per the screenshots of the survey (translated from Vitanemes), users who complete the promotional survey will receive a “10 percent discount” on the 2025 Galaxy S series on “January 5,” hinting that Samsung could announce the lineup on that date.

The January 5 launch window would be earlier than Samsung’s usual launch timelines. This year’s Galaxy S24 series was launched on January 17 during the Galaxy Unpacked event in San Jose, California. Pre-orders for the phones opened that same day with a January 31 in-store sales date. The Galaxy S23 series was unveiled on February 1 2023 and went on sale from February 17.

Samsung recently revealed that the Galaxy S25 series will go official in the first half of next year. The Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra models are expected to be powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and are likely to ship with new Galaxy AI features. The purported fourth model, the Galaxy S25 Slim, is rumoured to join the lineup later.

As per past leaks, the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Ultra will be released in seven colourways and the Galaxy S25+ in eight colour options. They are said to be available in three online exclusive shades as well.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Leaked Renders Hint at Tweaked Design and Four Colour Options

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to debut in early 2025 as the successor to the company’s Galaxy S24 Ultra model that arrived in January. This year, Samsung is expected to tweak the design of its flagship smartphone, and renders of the purported Galaxy S25 Ultra have now surfaced online, giving us an idea of what to expect from the handset. The top-of-the-line model in the Galaxy S25 series has also been tipped to arrive in four colourways that have previously been leaked.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Design, Colour Options (Expected)

Design renders shared by Technizo Concept (@technizoconcept) on X (formerly Twitter) show the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra with a slightly tweaked design, with the most noticeable change being the rounded corners. While it is expected to retain the flat edges seen on the current-generation flagship phone, the Galaxy S25 Ultra could have slightly round corners, making it easier to hold.

The renders also show the rear panel of the smartphone, including a close-up view of the rear camera module. The Galaxy S25 Ultra is tipped to feature thicker rings around each camera lens, and these are visible in the images shared on X.

Only one of the design renders shows the display of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, which appears to have a flat screen. It is also expected to arrive with support for Galaxy AI features out-of-the-box. We can also see the S Pen in all the leaked images, which should not come as a surprise.

The post also claims that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will arrive in four colour options — Titanium Black, Titanium Blue, Titanium Gray, and Titanium Silver. This aligns with DSCC CEO Ross Young’s prediction last month that the handset would be launched with the same colourways.

The handset was recently spotted on Geekbench with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, with a big jump in performance compared to the Galaxy S24 Ultra. More details of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra are likely to surface in the weeks leading up to its anticipated debut.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim Reportedly Spotted on IMEI Database

Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim could join the Galaxy S25 series next year. The lineup usually includes a base, a Plus, and an Ultra variant. However, there could be a new model next year. As the name suggests, the Slim version is expected to be thinner than the other models. It is tipped to compete with the purported iPhone 17 Slim or iPhone 17 Air. Not much is known about the expected features of the Galaxy S25 Slim, but it has now reportedly been spotted on the IMEI database.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim Listing

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim was spotted on the IMEI database with the model number SM-S937, according to a Smartprix report. A US variant of the handset with the model number SM-S937U appeared on the website as well. This suggests that the phone could launch in both the US and global markets.

Notably, the purported Samsung Galaxy S25 carries the SM-S931 model number, while the Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra models have the model numbers SM-S936 and SM-S938, respectively.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim Launch Timeline

An earlier report claims that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim is expected to be introduced in Q2 2025, a few months after the Galaxy S25 series launch. The thinner version could see a limited release as the company is said to gauge customer response to the handset.

While not much is known about the rumoured Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim, it is expected to arrive with watered-down features compared to the base Galaxy S25 model, similar to the Fan Edition models.

Notably, the anticipated Samsung Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra variants have been tipped to be slimmer than the preceding Galaxy S24 series handsets. Previous reports suggested that all Samsung Galaxy S25 smartphones will carry Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipsets.

Samsung recently confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup will be unveiled in the first half of 2025. An exact launch date will likely be announced closer to the event. It is expected to arrive sometime in January or February.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim to Debut in 2025, Could Rival Purported iPhone 17 Air: Report

Ashish Singh — Thu, 31 Oct 2024 14:32:50 +0000

Apple could shake up its iPhone lineup next year by introducing a new iPhone 17 Slim (or Air) model, according to recent reports. While it’s currently unclear whether Apple will replace its Plus model with a new ‘Slim’ model, a South Korean publication reports that Samsung is also considering the launch of a ‘slim’ Galaxy S25 handset. This purported Galaxy S25 Slim model is likely to be released in limited numbers, according to the report. The Galaxy S series typically includes a standard and Plus model, as well as an Ultra variant.

Samsung Might Have a New Galaxy S25 Phone in the Works

An ETNews report (in Korean) citing industry sources states that Samsung is planning to unveil a slim model as a follow-up to the Galaxy S25 series, which is expected to arrive in early 2025. Like the recently launched Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, this Galaxy S25 version will reportedly have a thin build. It could be released a few months after the Galaxy S25 series, according to the publication.

Samsung is reportedly considering a limited release for the purported Galaxy S25 Slim model, and will gauge the market’s response. The report states that if the handset receives a positive response from customers, then Samsung might change the Galaxy S26 series lineup, which is not expected to debut until 2026.

If these claims are accurate, the shift to a slimmer form factor would be the most notable design change Samsung has made to its Galaxy S family in the last four years. The South Korean brand’s Galaxy S series usually comprises a standard model alongside Plus and Ultra variants.

Meanwhile, Apple’s thinner phone is expected to debut sometime in the second half of 2025 as the iPhone 17 Slim — or iPhone 17 Air — as per recent reports. This handset could rival Samsung’s purported slim Galaxy S25 model.

Samsung has already confirmed that its Galaxy S25 series will be launched in the first half of next year, presumably in January. The trio is said to run on Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and is likely to ship with Galaxy AI features. A recent leak suggests that the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Ultra will arrive in four colourways while the Plus variant will be sold in five shades. They will reportedly sport low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) OLED panels built by Samsung Display using M13 organic materials.

Honor Magic 7, Magic 7 Pro Confirmed to Launch Globally Soon

Samsung Galaxy S25 Series to Feature Older Display Technology to Cut Costs

Ashish Singh — Sat, 26 Oct 2024 09:33:07 +0000

Samsung Galaxy S25 series will reportedly feature slightly older display technology to keep costs of producing the upcoming handsets in check. While the iPhone 16 Pro models sport displays that are built with the company’s latest technology, the purported successors to the company’s Galaxy S24 lineup might not offer the same display improvements as its rivals, according to a report. Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S25 series of smartphones in early 2025, with Snapdragon 8 Elite chips.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Could Feature Older Display Technology to Cut Costs

An ETNews report citing industry insiders (in Korean) states that Samsung will equip the Galaxy S25 series with low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) OLED panels built by Samsung Display using M13 organic materials. These are the same OLED materials were reportedly used by the company to produce the displays for the Samsung Galaxy S24 series that arrived earlier this year.

This means that the Samsung Galaxy S25 series will not feature displays that are built using M14 organic materials, used by Samsung Display to produce the panels on the iPhone 16 Pro models that were launched earlier this year. Display Chain Supply Consultants (DSCC) CEO Ross Young also echoed these claims, stating that the decision was made for “cost reasons”.

Confirmed with materials suppliers that the S25 Ultra will use M13 rather than M14 materials for cost reasons.

— Ross Young (@DSCCRoss) October 25, 2024

The report also sheds some light on the display sizes of the company’s upcoming flagship phones — the Galaxy S25 could feature a 6.16-inch screen, while the Galaxy S25+ and the Galaxy S25 Ultra may sport 6.66-inch and 6.86-inch displays, respectively.

At Qualcomm’s recent Snapdragon Summit 2024 event, Samsung Mobile President TM Roh said that Samsung’s upcoming smartphone models would be equipped with the chipmaker’s latest flagship processor. It is unclear whether the purported decision to use an older display technology to cut costs is related to the reported decision to use Snapdragon 8 Elite chipsets on all models, unlike the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ that arrived with an Exynos 2400 SoC in several markets.

Samsung Galaxy S25+ US Variant With Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC Surfaces on Geekbench

Ashish Singh — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 13:42:35 +0000

Samsung Galaxy S25+ may launch alongside the base Galaxy S25 and the Galaxy S25 Ultra early next year. It is expected to launch as a successor to the Galaxy S24+, which was unveiled in January this year. Previous leaks have revealed CAD-based design renders as well as battery details of the purported handset. Now, the US variant of the smartphone has been spotted on a popular benchmarking website. Notably, the US variant of the Galaxy S25 Ultra was also spotted on this site.

Samsung Galaxy S25+ Geekbench Listing

A Samsung handset with the model number SM-S936U, speculated to be the Galaxy S25+, has been spotted on Geekbench. The “U” suggests that this is the US variant of the purported handset. It appears with an octa-core Qualcomm chipset with two cores clocking 4.19GHz and six cores with a speed of 2.90GHz. The listed chipset comes with an integrated Adreno 830 GPU.

The chip architecture suggests that this is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC, which is scheduled to launch in October. Notably, previous leaks have claimed that all Samsung Galaxy S25 series handsets may get this chipset. There will likely be Exynos 2500 variants of the lineup as well. Usually, the flagship Galaxy phones launch with Qualcomm chipsets in the US market.

The Samsung Galaxy S25+ scored 3,054 and 9,224 points on the single-core and multi-core tests, respectively, on the benchmarking site. The Geekbench listing shows that the purported Galaxy S25+ will support 12GB of RAM and run on Android 15.

Previous leaks have shown CAD-based renders of the Samsung Galaxy S25+. It appears to be similar to the existing Galaxy S24+ model with additional rings surrounding the triple rear camera slots. We have seen a similar design in the rear camera module of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6.

The Samsung Galaxy S25+ is expected to be backed by a 4,755mAh-rated battery with a typical value of 4,900mAh. This is similar to the preceding Galaxy S24+. It is tipped to support 45W wired fast charging.
