The renders also make it clear that the current trend of flat-sided design is also not going anywhere.

Certain media reports have claimed that the Galaxy S25 will be slightly smaller at 146.9 x 70.4 x 7.2mm. If true, this will make the upcoming smartphone shorter, narrower, and thinner than its predecessor.

The biggest design change as we can see, even though very minor, comes from the camera layout. While there are still three cutouts, the cameras now have textured rings, adding a touch of sophistication.

This design element for those who pay attention and now remember was first seen on the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

Galaxy S25 – Rumours Features

If rumours are to be believed the Galaxy S25 series could use an Exynos chipset globally. However, this claim was challenged by some others who believe it will feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.

As per all previous reports around Galaxy S25, the Snapdragon option seems more likely. Leaked benchmarks have already indicated that it outperforms even Apple’s A18 Pro chip in a previous report.

The Galaxy S25 clock speeds potentially reaching 4.32GHz is expected to offer lightning-fast performance.

Samsung is also rumoured to update to 12GB RAM on the non-Ultra models. Meanwhile, the storage capacity starts from 128GB.

The battery capacity is likely to stay at 4,000mAh.

As per rumours, Samsung is expected to announce the Galaxy S25 in early January 2025. It will most likely be around January 13th as it would follow CES 2025.
