As we approach the second half of 2024, various leaks about Samsung's upcoming S series flagships have gradually emerged. Recently, some of these leaks have mentioned this content.

According to the latest leaks, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will be upgraded to 16GB of RAM, making it the most powerful flagship in the history of the Samsung Galaxy S series.

Currently, the Galaxy S24 Ultra comes standard with 12GB of RAM, and even the 1TB version priced over 10,000 yuan still only has 12GB of RAM.

From the leaks, it appears that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will surpass the 12GB RAM threshold and move to 16GB of RAM.

It is reported that the main reason for the upgrade to larger RAM in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is the high memory requirements of AI large models.

One of the reasons why the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is equipped with 16GB of RAM is to locally run Google's Gemini Nano AI model, which has high memory requirements. Therefore, Samsung has decided to expand the RAM to enhance AI performance, but the Samsung Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ will still use 12GB of RAM, and all three models will use LPDDR6 specifications.

Edge AI large models have high memory requirements for smartphones. In the high-end flagship market, 16GB of RAM will gradually become the mainstream. The emergence of AI technology has accelerated the popularization of large memory, and it is essential for users to upgrade to larger memory to experience more interesting AI features.

However, if you think this is the first time Samsung phones have come with 16GB of RAM, you are mistaken. In fact, both the Galaxy S20 Ultra and Galaxy S21 Ultra had versions with 16GB of RAM. After that, Samsung reduced the RAM to a maximum of 12GB in the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

If Samsung really brings 16GB of RAM to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, enthusiasts will surely rejoice. Higher RAM not only benefits heavy multitasking but also speeds up the execution of AI tasks. With all other conditions being equal, devices with larger memory can process AI tasks faster.

Moreover, having 16GB of RAM aligns Samsung's phones with the latest hardware specifications, satisfying consumers' demand for high-performance phones while also helping enhance Samsung's competitive position in the Chinese market. Additionally, the S25 Ultra is expected to undergo a redesign, featuring rounder corners, creating a stark contrast with the angular style of the S24 Ultra.

Regarding design, Samsung has also put in a lot of effort. At the end of 2022, Samsung hired Hubert H. Lee, former Chief Design Officer of Mercedes-Benz China, and appointed him Executive Vice President and Head of the MX (Mobile Experience) Design Team. It is reported that he is responsible for the design of the S25 series.

It is reported that the Galaxy S25 Ultra may adopt an asymmetrical frame this time, with the side closer to the back cover expected to be rounder, and the frame closer to the front of the phone may be straighter. In terms of width, it may remain the same as the current model, the Galaxy S24 Ultra, but the side bezels are expected to be further narrowed, which means it will not only improve the hand feel for one-handed use but also potentially bring a more impressive screen-to-body ratio.

Apart from the upgrades in memory and design, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is also expected to feature significant camera upgrades, although specific details have not been announced. As the release date approaches, consumer expectations for this flagship phone continue to rise.

Incidentally, according to previously leaked information, the new Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will be equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen4 for Galaxy mobile platform. Compared to the standard Snapdragon 8 Gen4 mobile platform, it offers higher clock speeds for its large cores and stronger theoretical performance, bringing an unprecedented performance leap to users. Whether it's handling complex tasks or playing large games, it can handle them with ease. Additionally, in markets like South Korea, a version equipped with Samsung's own Exynos 2500 processor will be launched, also using advanced 3nm technology. It will compete fiercely with the industry benchmark Snapdragon 8 Gen4, striving to provide users with a more balanced and lasting user experience.

According to the leaks, the Exynos 2500 will adopt a 10-core CPU design, including one Cortex-X5 core with a clock speed of 3.2GHz, three Cortex-A730 cores with clock speeds ranging from 2.3-2.5GHz, two slightly lower-clocked Cortex-A730 cores, and four Cortex-A520 cores. For graphics processing, it is expected to feature Samsung's self-developed Xclipse 950 GPU based on AMD's RDNA3 architecture.

There are also reports that Samsung is working to improve the energy efficiency of the Exynos 2500, aiming to compete with top-tier Qualcomm chips and provide users with a more balanced user experience.

It's worth noting that the Galaxy S25 Ultra, the highest-end model in the series, may adopt a single-cell battery solution. Its battery models are EB-BS938ABY and EB-BS938ABE, both supplied by Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL), and likely to retain a capacity of 5000mAh, supporting wired fast charging with a maximum power of up to 45W.

Earlier, there were rumors that the Galaxy S25 series might introduce a new feature called "Battery AI," aimed at increasing battery life by 10%.

This technology achieves power savings by intelligently identifying and shutting down unnecessary background applications and tasks that consume system resources.

Furthermore, it is revealed that the Galaxy S25 series will achieve unprecedented breakthroughs in camera technology. The Galaxy S25 Ultra, in particular, will be equipped with an impressive quad-camera setup, consisting of a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, a 200-megapixel primary camera with a large sensor, a 50-megapixel 3x telephoto lens, and a 50-megapixel 5x periscope telephoto lens. These high-resolution lenses not only provide an ultra-wide field of view and extended shooting distance but also ensure high image clarity and detail, easily capturing both vast natural landscapes and distant details. Additionally, both the primary and telephoto lenses support OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), further enhancing the stability and accuracy of shooting.

Combining relevant information, it appears that the Chinese version of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has already completed its filing process and may arrive soon, featuring a rear camera setup comprising a 200-megapixel primary camera, 3x telephoto lens, 5x periscope telephoto lens, and ultra-wide-angle lens.

Both telephoto lenses use new-generation sensors with larger light-sensitive areas and faster response times, improving image capture rates in low-light environments.

In addition to the comprehensive upgrade of the camera system, the Galaxy S25 series has also undergone significant improvements in screen and performance. It is reported that the series will feature top-tier AMOLED screens with a resolution of up to 2K, offering exceptional color reproduction for an immersive visual experience. Whether playing games, watching movies, or for daily use, users can enjoy crisp and clear images.

Finally, Samsung is confident about its future Galaxy AI plans, aiming to provide devices that can understand the context of conversations and offer more natural interactions and experiences through strengthened partnerships, collaboration, and further development of AI technology.

Judging from Samsung's flagship update pace, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is set to be released in January next year. However, it's currently only August, so the wait can be challenging. If you don't see the need to wait and are considering upgrading your phone now, I highly recommend considering the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra! The reason is simple: it boasts the best configuration in the brand, and its price has dropped significantly, with the 12GB+1TB variant now 2,200 yuan cheaper, making it a truly compelling option.

At present, there are at least five months left until the official release of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series. The S24 series has already gained widespread market recognition after adapting AI functions, and with further improvements in memory specifications, Samsung is expected to deploy richer large models on the edge, bringing users a more intelligent and personalized experience.

In summary, information about the Samsung Galaxy S25 standard version remains uncertain, and we will continue to monitor and bring you more related reports.
