The Galaxy S25 series will include three models: the Galaxy S25, the Galaxy S25+, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
As per Samsung, the Ultra model is expected to have a new flat-frame design with rounded edges which is different from its predecessor. It may also come with 16GB of RAM, more than the 12GB RAM available in the previous model. The camera is also getting an upgrade with a 50MP ultra-wide sensor replacing the 12MP lens.
The Galaxy S25 and S25+ models will have brighter displays with thinner bezels and the same powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.
Samsung is moving away from using its own Exynos processors. However, the prices of these new smartphones are expected to be higher than the previous models with a possible increase of Rs 5,000 in India.
