The rumors are still swirling about the Samsung Galaxy S25 and its siblings. They could be among the absolute best phones of 2025, and it probably won’t be long to wait, with the launch rumored to be in January.
While nothing will be known for certain about these phones until then, we do have a good idea of what to expect as there has been an influx of leaks and rumors.
As such, combined with our own best guesses, we’ve been able to put together a partial list of the likely specs you’ll find on these phones, which we’ve detailed below.
Samsung Galaxy 25 rumored specifications
| Header cell – Column 0 | Samsung Galaxy S25 rumored specifications |
|---|---|
| Display: | 6.2-inch AMOLED screen |
| Solution: | 1080 x 2340 pixels |
| Refresh rate: | 120Hz |
| Chip set: | Snapdragon 8 Elite |
| Rear cameras: | 50 MP wide, 12 MP ultra-wide, 10 MP telephoto (3x zoom) |
| Front camera: | 12 MP |
| RAM: | 12GB |
| Storage: | 128GB, 256GB, 512GB |
| Battery: | 4,000mAh |
The base Samsung Galaxy S25 won’t have as much high-end tech as the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, but this phone can still impress.
Rumors suggest that the Samsung Galaxy S25 will have a screen of around 6.2 inches, and while the resolution hasn’t been leaked, we predict it will be 1080 x 2340, just like the Samsung Galaxy S24, as the rumored screen is the same.
That would translate to a pixel density of around 416 pixels per inch, and the Samsung Galaxy S25 will also definitely have a 120Hz refresh rate, as its predecessor does, and since higher refresh rates are typically reserved for gaming phones.
There has been some disagreement over which chipset will be used, but sources now seem to agree that the Samsung Galaxy S25 will be equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Elite, Qualcomm’s top smartphone chipset.
Multiple leaks also suggest that the Samsung Galaxy S25 will have 12GB of RAM. That’s more than the 8 GB in the Galaxy S24. But even if these leaks are true, it’s possible there will be 8GB models as well.
Storage capacities are unknown for now, but we predict that Samsung will once again opt for 128GB, 256GB and 512GB models – although it’s not impossible that the 128GB model will be ditched or a 1TB version will be added .
For cameras, TechManiacs reports that they will be the same as on the Samsung Galaxy S24, that is, a 50 megapixel primary camera, a 12 MP ultra-wide angle, a 10 MP telephoto (with 3x optical zoom) and a 12 MP front camera.
We’re taking this with a grain of salt since we’ve only heard it from one source, but the fact that we haven’t heard of any other camera leaks rather suggests that not much is changing.
Finally, we’ve heard that the Samsung Galaxy S25 may also have the same battery size as the S24, at 4,000 mAh.
Samsung Galaxy 25 Plus rumored specifications
| Header cell – Column 0 | Rumors about the specifications of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus |
|---|---|
| Display: | 6.7-inch AMOLED screen |
| Solution: | 1440 x 3120 pixels |
| Refresh rate: | 120Hz |
| Chip set: | Snapdragon 8 Elite |
| Rear cameras: | 50 MP wide, 12 MP ultra-wide, 10 MP telephoto (3x zoom) |
| Front camera: | 12 MP |
| RAM: | 12GB |
| Storage: | 256GB, 512GB |
| Battery: | 4,900mAh |
Informational tidbits reveal that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus will have a 6.66-inch display, which will likely be marketed as 6.7 inches, just like the Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus’ display.
We can therefore guess that the other screen specs are also largely in line with those of the S24 Plus, which perhaps means a resolution of 1440 x 3120 for around 513 pixels per inch. And the Galaxy S25 Plus will almost certainly have a 120Hz refresh rate too, as that’s the standard for high-end handsets.
For the chipset, we expect a Snapdragon 8 Elite. In fact, the Snapdragon 8 Elite will likely be used in every model in the Galaxy S25 series. Some benchmarks suggest that the Snapdragon 8 Elite could even outperform the chipset in the iPhone 16 Pro Max, so this could be a big win for Samsung.
That chipset will reportedly be joined by 12GB of RAM in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus, which wouldn’t be a change from the Galaxy S24 Plus. There’s no word on storage yet, but chances are Samsung will keep the same capacities as the current model, i.e. 256GB and 512GB versions.
Our only real camera information comes from the TechManiacs report linked in the Samsung Galaxy S25 section, pointing to the same megapixel count as the Galaxy S24 Plus. That would mean a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, a 10MP telephoto camera (likely with 3x optical zoom) and a 12MP selfie snapper.
And from the same source we learned that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus, like its predecessor, will have a 4,900 mAh battery.
Samsung Galaxy 25 Ultra rumored specifications
| Header cell – Column 0 | Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra rumored specifications |
|---|---|
| Display: | 6.9-inch AMOLED screen |
| Solution: | 1440 x 3120+ pixels |
| Refresh rate: | 120Hz |
| Chip set: | Snapdragon 8 Elite |
| Rear cameras: | 200 MP wide, 50 MP ultra-wide, 50 MP telephoto (5x zoom), 10 MP telephoto (3x zoom) |
| Front camera: | 12 MP |
| RAM: | 16GB |
| Storage: | 256GB, 512GB, 1TB |
| Battery: | 5,000mAh |
The best specs are likely to be reserved for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, which rumors suggest will have a 6.86-inch screen, which will likely be marketed as 6.9 inches. That makes it slightly larger than the 6.8-inch screen of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
We haven’t heard yet what resolution the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s screen will have, but given the likely increase in size, there’s a chance it will be higher than the 1440 x 3120 of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. We also haven’t heard yet what the refresh rate will be, but we’re pretty sure it will be 120Hz since that’s the standard for most high-end phones.
As with the rest of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is reported to have a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, and in fact we’re even more confident that this phone will get that than the other models , as some previous leaks pointed to other chipsets for the rest of the line, but not for this.
We’ve also heard that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra may have 16GB of RAM, although it’s not clear if that’s the starting amount or just the amount you get in the top configuration. Either way, that’s an improvement over the 12GB included in every configuration of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, and it should boost all of the Galaxy AI features.
There’s no news on storage, but the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is available in 256GB, 512GB or 1TB, and we think the same capacity will likely be offered again.
However, the cameras could be getting an upgrade, with sources suggesting the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will have a new 50MP ultra-wide camera, up from 12MP on the current model. The other cameras reportedly won’t change, though, meaning a 200MP main sensor, a 50MP 5x telephoto, and a 10MP 3x telephoto, along with likely a 12MP front camera.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra’s battery will also reportedly be no bigger than the S24 Ultra’s, with leaks suggesting it will again be 5,000mAh and recharge at 45W.
Samsung Galaxy 25 Slim rumored specifications
Along with the Samsung Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra, leaks have hinted that a Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim is on the way, and it could land alongside the other models.
However, we don’t know much about it yet. From what we’ve heard, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim could have a better camera than the base Galaxy S25. One tip even suggests that the Galaxy S25 Slim will have an ‘Ultra’ level camera.
So it can impress for photography, and of course it should also be thinner than the rest of the S25 series, although Samsung reportedly hasn’t been able to make the S25 Slim as thin as it would like.
We don’t actually know anything else about this phone and that’s why we haven’t included a specification overview. But we can predict that it will likely have a 120Hz refresh rate and a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, just like the rest of the S25 line.
