Believe it or not, the Samsung Galaxy S25 will be here before you know it. Here’s everything we know about the S25 so far!
While Samsung releases a slew of phones every year, its flagship is the Galaxy S-series. In January 2024, we got the Galaxy S24 lineup, which is only several months old at this point. But we don’t expect Samsung to stop with that — next year should give us an even better Galaxy S25 family of devices.
It’s still pretty early to even think about the Galaxy S25 series, but the rumor mill never stops. Here’s everything we know so far about the Samsung Galaxy S25.Samsung Galaxy S25: release date
Historically, Samsung has always launched its flagship S-series smartphones at the beginning of the year. This typically means between January and March.
For the Galaxy S24, it came a little earlier than its predecessors. There have been no solid leads on when to expect the Galaxy S25, so let’s take a look at the past few years of announcements:
Galaxy S22: Announced February 9, 2022, released February 25, 2022
Galaxy S23: Announced February 1, 2023, released February 17, 2023
Galaxy S24: Announced January 17, 2024, released January 31, 2024
Based on previous announcements and releases, we think that the Galaxy S25 will be unveiled in either January or February, or March at the latest. Again, there are no leads on the next release window, so we can only guesstimate for now.Samsung Galaxy S25: price
Samsung has remained pretty consistent in pricing for its devices, at least with the base and Plus models of the Galaxy S family. Let’s take a look at what we’ve seen in the past:
Galaxy S22: $799 (base), $999 (Plus), $1,199 (Ultra)
Galaxy S23: $799 (base), $999 (Plus), $1,199 (Ultra)
Galaxy S24: $799 (base), $999 (Plus), $1,299 (Ultra)
For the base and Plus models, the prices have consistently remained at $799 and $999, respectively, for the past three years. However, Samsung did bump up the price of the Galaxy S24 Ultra by $100 from previous years while keeping the base storage the same (though it has more RAM).
It’s unlikely that we’ll see a price bump again for the Galaxy S25 family, though we won’t know for sure until we get closer to the phones’ release.Samsung Galaxy S25: design
For the most part, the design of the Galaxy S series has not changed all that much in the past few years. However, the Galaxy S25 may shake things up.
In December 2023, leaker Revengus posted on X (formerly Twitter) that Ilhwan Lee (a former designer at Mercedes-Benz and current Design Team Leader of Samsung’s MX division) has been given the task of redefining the Galaxy brand and provide a “fresh” feel. That means that we should expect significant changes in design from the S25 onward.
With the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Samsung began using titanium in the body, similar to what Apple did with the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. We should expect the S25 Ultra, at least, to continue using titanium. It’s unknown if Samsung has plans to implement titanium in the base and Plus versions.
