And what we’ve heard so far
Samsung’s Galaxy S handsets consistently rank among the best phones of any given year, so they’re always a source of excitement. That’s why even though the Samsung Galaxy S24, Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus, and Galaxy S24 Ultra have only just arrived, we’re already looking ahead to the Samsung Galaxy S25 line.
Plus, while Samsung’s latest phones are superb, they also have room for improvement, as you’ll see in our Samsung Galaxy S24 review, our Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra review, and our hands-on Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus review.
With that in mind, we’ve created a wish list of all the key upgrades we want from the Samsung Galaxy S25 line. But early rumors about these phones have also started arriving, so you’ll find those below too, and any time we hear more about these phones, we’ll add those leaks to this article.Cut to the chase
What is it? The next non-foldable Samsung flagship
When is it out? Probably early 2025
How much will it cost? Likely upwards of $799 / £799 / AU$1,399Samsung Galaxy S25: potential release date and price
Given that the Samsung Galaxy S24 line landed in January of this year, it’s likely that the Samsung Galaxy S25 series will launch in or around January of 2025. Certainly, we’d expect these phones early in 2025 anyway, as while Samsung sometimes launches new models in February, recent generations have always arrived early in the year.
These phones might be expensive though, as it’s likely that in at least some regions they’ll be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which itself is expected to have a price increase.
For reference, the Samsung Galaxy S24 starts at $799 / £799 / AU$1,399, so that’s probably the absolute minimum you might be able to get a Galaxy S25 for. But if the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 does cost more than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 then Samsung will probably pass that price rise on to consumers. And of course the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will also cost more than the price above.
The Galaxy S24 Plus starts at $999 / £999 / AU$1,699, while the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra starts at $1,299.99 / £1,249 / AU$2,199, so you’ll probably be paying that much or more for the next models.Samsung Galaxy S25: news and leaks
There are already a few Samsung Galaxy S25 leaks, including a claim that the Galaxy S25 will use a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, which could be significantly more powerful than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, as it might have a clock speed of up to 4GHz (up from 3.
