Samsung Galaxy S25 series: Specifications and features

design and construction

The Galaxy S25 and S25+ retain a familiar aesthetic with three different rear cameras, sleek frames, and ultra-thin bezels. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumored to adopt a rounded design, moving away from the boxy look of its predecessors. Notable changes include thinner bezels and a camera lens ring that matches the color of the frame, giving it a more sophisticated look.

The standout device, the Galaxy S25 Slim, is rumored to be just 6.4mm thick without the camera bump, making it Samsung’s thinnest phone to date. Despite its slim profile, the smartphone will reportedly feature a 6.7 to 6.8-inch display.

camera

The Galaxy S25 and S25+ are believed to share a triple-camera setup:
– 50 megapixel primary sensor
– 10 megapixel telephoto lens (3x zoom)
– 12 megapixel ultra-wide camera

The Ultra model features a quad-camera setup, which includes a 200-megapixel main sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom. Selfies across the series will be handled by a 12-megapixel front camera.

Display and battery

All models are believed to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. This was also hinted at in a tweet posted by Snapdragon, which was a response to the announcement at Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event. The post read: “See you there”.

The Galaxy S25 phones are also expected to be paired with up to 12GB of RAM. The Ultra model is said to have a 5,000mAh battery with up to 31 hours of video playback. The S25+ will likely retain the 4,900mAh capacity of its predecessor.
