As we get closer to the end of the year, we’re nearing the release of Samsung‘s next generation of flagship smartphones. The Galaxy S25 lineup is the brand’s new premium device, with the Galaxy S25 being the newest compact flagship. It is expected to pack some high-end specs and features, so here’s a detailed breakdown of the base Galaxy S25 model.

Toggle1. Samsung Galaxy S25: Design and Display
Just recently, we covered leaked renders that offered us a proper look at the Galaxy S25’s design. The full body of the phone is visible from the front and sides. Its overall design appears similar to its predecessor, the Galaxy S24. The back seems to retain the flat glass panel along with a vertically stacked triple camera setup. Samsung is expected to launch this device with the Armor Aluminum frame. The same report adds that it measures 146.9 x 70.4 x 7.2mm in dimensions, making it slightly slimmer than the S24.
On the other hand, the Galaxy S25 is expected to house a 6.2-inch display that is surrounded by minimal bezels and center aligned punch cutout. Samsung released the Galaxy S24 with a 6.2-inch Dynamic LPTO AMOLED 2X display that offered a 120Hz refresh rate, DHR10+, and 2600 nits of peak brightness. This screen also has a Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 panel for protection. So this might be a similar case again.
2. Hardware
Being a next-gen flagship phone, Samsung would likely equip the Galaxy S25 with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC in South Korea and the US. Although, the rest of the world would likely receive this model with a new Exynos chipset. This has been the routine for the brand, but there are reports hinting at a Snapdragon exclusive Galaxy S25. Rumors have hinted that the base model would pack higher RAM. Apparently, it is getting a 4GB bump so the Galaxy S25 may launch with 12GB of RAM.
Under the hood, the new compact flagship isn’t receiving a larger battery and is expected to house the same 4,000mAh battery pack once again. This model would likely support 25W wired fast charging along with 15W wireless fast charging and reverse wireless charging support. Out of the box, it would run on the Android 15 OS based One UI 7 custom skin.
3. Camera
While the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S23, and Galaxy S24 packed Samsung’s ISOCELL GN5 50MP cameras, the Galaxy S25 might be ditching ISOCELL for a Sony sensor. The specific details of the other two cameras are still unclear, but they will likely include an ultra wide angle lens and a telephoto shooter for zoomed shots.
4. Launch Date
The South Korean tech giant has yet to confirm an official launch date for the Galaxy S25 series. But considering how the Galaxy S24 lineup launched at the start of this year, its successor should likely follow a similar release timeline. Meaning, the launch might be set for the middle of January 2025. This is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more updates.
