Here we are at the end of the 50th week of the year 2024. Just two more weeks left!
It looks like the European prices of the upcoming Galaxy S25 series will be similar to the S24 series.
The Galaxy S25 series isn’t bringing massive upgrades – apart from the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which is a big step up from the Exynos 2400 that Europeans got in their S24 and S24+ phones – but there are several important smaller upgrades too. For example, the smaller S-phone will eventually get 12GB of RAM (but base storage will still be 128GB), the two larger models may get 16GB in some configurations. The S25 Ultra is getting a new 50MP ultra-wide camera.
On this topic, the report suggests that the main camera of the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be similar to that of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which was mostly similar to the S23 Ultra.
