A recent certification leak suggests that the upcoming Samsung flagship phone, the Galaxy S25 may have the same charging speeds as this year’s Samsung Galaxy S24 series. This leak was found on the FCC certification website. The smartphone has also previously appeared on other certification websites like Geekbench, BIS and 3C. But what does this mean for the consumer? The smartphone appearing on certification websites means that the research and production of the device is now complete, and the company is now receiving the necessary certification before starting to sell the device in the markets.

Certification listing also means that a lot of specifications and features about the smartphone are revealed when the device is listed on these websites. Bearing in mind that the Galaxy S25 series has now appeared on multiple certification websites, there’s a lot we already know about the smartphones – of course, we’d still advise you to take this information with a pinch of salt , because it has never been confirmed. We hear it from the horse’s mouth.

We already know that the Galaxy S25 series will consist of three smartphones: the Galaxy S25, the Galaxy S25+, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Based on the latest leak, the S25 series will likely support 45W wired fast charging, the same as the 2024 flagship Galaxy S24 series. And as per the FCC certification, the vanilla Galaxy S25 model can only support 9W wireless charging, which is a downgrade of 15W compared to its predecessor. Additionally, the Galaxy S25 will support 25W fast charging, in line with its predecessor. Meanwhile, the travel adapter for the Galaxy S25+ and S25 Ultra has been identified as EP-T2510, which suggests 45W wired fast charging. Notably, Samsung still won’t include a charging adapter, so it will have to be purchased separately.

The leak also suggests that all three Galaxy S25 models will feature 5G, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth, GNSS, and NFC connectivity. However, ultrawide-band support will only be available on the Galaxy S25+ and S25 Ultra, leaving the standard model without it. The S25 Ultra will also include an S-Pen (model EJ-PS938) manufactured by Wacom.

Other leaks in the past also suggest that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, with the standard and Plus models also expected to use the same processor due to limited production of the Samsung Exynos 2500. Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy S25 series will run on Android 15-based OneUI 7. While the base model may see only minor camera improvements, the S25 Ultra is rumored to include a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, an upgrade from the current 12-megapixel sensor, while retaining the 200-megapixel primary and The telephoto camera has been retained.

In terms of design, leaked images and videos suggest that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will adopt a flat frame with rounded corners, a departure from the square design of its predecessor but will retain the flat display from the S24 Ultra. This change could align the Ultra models more closely with the standard and Plus variants, which are expected to retain their existing designs. Additionally, the S25 Ultra is rumored to have the same five-camera setup as the S24 Ultra, with some of the design inspired by the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

The Galaxy S25 series is expected to launch sometime in January. However, the official launch date has not been revealed yet.
