Rumours about Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series have been circulating for months, making it one of the most anticipated phone releases of 2025. It’s expected to come with a higher price tag than previous Samsung models, so if you’re planning to upgrade, now could be a great time to start saving. Why not trade in your phone for cash with Mazuma Mobile to get a head start?
In this blog, we’ll cover everything we know so far about the S25 series, including its expected price, features, and design changes.
Release Date
The big question on every tech enthusiast’s mind is: when will the Samsung Galaxy S25 series be released? While Samsung hasn’t confirmed a date yet, we can make an educated guess based on previous trends. The Galaxy S24 was announced and released in January 2024, so it’s likely the S25 will follow a similar timeline in early 2025.
For those looking to make an exact prediction, the S24 was announced on the third Wednesday of January and released on the fifth Wednesday of January 2024. Based on these dates, we can expect an announcement on the 15th of January and a release on the 29th of January 2025. Of course, this is just a prediction, we won’t know anything for sure until Samsung themselves speak out.
Anticipated Features
Samsung is known for introducing new features with each Galaxy S Series release, and with the S24, we saw advancements like enhanced AI settings, brighter displays, and longer-lasting batteries. We can expect similar upgrades with the S25 series, particularly in key areas such as AI and performance.
With the smartphone industry focusing heavily on AI, such as Apple’s Intelligence and Google’s Gemini, it’s likely that the S25 will include an upgraded version of Galaxy AI. While Galaxy AI is already present in some Samsung devices, we anticipate it will play a more prominent role in improving photography and enhancing the overall user experience.
There’s also speculation that the S25 series will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 4 chipset. This chipset is expected to boost performance, speed, battery life, and gaming capabilities, making the S25 faster and more efficient than previous models.
Other anticipated features include new cameras, improved storage and advanced display features. Of course, we won’t know the real details until the phone is launched.
Design Changes
There have also been some rumours regarding a change in design for some of the models within the Galaxy S25 series. Some have suggested that the S25 Ultra will feature more rounded corners than is seen on the S24 Ultra, giving the Ultra a new look for 2025.
Samsung has received feedback about the discomfort caused by the sharp edges on previous models, so this design upgrade would likely make the S25 Ultra more comfortable to hold and use. As for the other models in the series, we expect their designs to remain quite similar to the S24, so if you’re a fan of the current look but want to upgrade, there will still be familiar options available.
It has been debated whether the cameras are going to change with the S25 series. The Samsung Galaxy S24 is already highly rated for its camera quality, so it will take a lot of work to beat in the new 2025 lineup. There had previously been concerns that the Samsung stylus, the S Pen, would be discontinued with the release of the Galaxy S25 range – but it doesn’t look like this is going to be the case! The stylus is now anticipated to remain, so those who enjoy note-taking or quick sketching can benefit from the S Pen’s features once more.
Price and How to Maximise Your Savings
While we can anticipate a range of new features and benefits with the Galaxy S25 series, the ultimate question remains: how much will it cost? With no official price announcement yet, it’s difficult to give an exact figure. However, we can look at the current prices of the Galaxy S24 models for some insight. The S24 starts at £799, the S24 FE at £549, the S24+ at £999, and the S24 Ultra at £1,249, depending on storage and payment plan options.
Based on these prices, we can expect the base model of the S25 to start at around £799, aligning with the pricing trends of the latest Apple and Google smartphones.
