The real magic of the Samsung Galaxy S25 could be under the hood – here’s why. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. We expect to see the Samsung Galaxy S25 make its debut around mid-January 2025, according to the rumors so far. And that has me thinking whether the tipped new phone will be a worthy upgrade over the Samsung Galaxy S24 or if it's more of the model to get for people running older Galaxy phones.

For the past few Galaxy S-series generations, Samsung has opted to iterate on its flagship phones, evolving the design language established with the Galaxy S21 into the refined, if arguably a tad dull, aesthetic and proportions of the Galaxy S24. While there have been rumors of a design change coming, renders have rendered some doubt on that, meaning we can expect some tweaks but for the Galaxy S25 to look a lot like its predecessor.

We’ll aim to have a full rundown of the Galaxy S25 versus the Galaxy S24 once the former phone gets an expected official reveal and we’ve had time to test the phones. For now, read on for my thoughts on what the main upgrades could be and if the Galaxy S25 is a phone worth getting excited about in the face of its predecessor.
As mentioned, all the rumors point to a phone with a display that’ll be marketed at 6.2 inches but may have slimmer bezels than before, meaning the S25’s screen hits its true size rather than gets rounded up to 6.2 inches. A trio of rear cameras in a vertical orientation is expected too, comprising a 50MP primary camera, a 12MP ultra-wide, a 10MP telephoto (with 3x optical zoom), and complemented by a 12MP front-facing camera; basically the same setup as the S24’s camera suite.
