As the year 2024 draws to a close, the tech community eagerly anticipates the next wave of smartphones. Among them, Samsung, a stalwart in the smartphone industry, has sparked widespread discussions with rumors surrounding its upcoming flagship, the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

A recent revelation by a blogger indicates that one of the four standard colors for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will be white, featuring a white back and silver frame, officially dubbed Titanium Whitesilver. Additionally, the blogger mentioned that the gold hue is actually titanium gray.

Mingmei Infinite noted that this information originated from a tweet on platform X on December 8th, showcasing high-resolution renderings of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra in four colors: Titanium Silver, Titanium Blue, Titanium Black, and Titanium Gold.

Moreover, earlier reports suggest that Samsung plans to unveil the Galaxy S25 series, encompassing the base model, Plus version, and Ultra version, on January 22, 2025, with the Galaxy S25 Slim following suit at a later date.

In terms of design, the Galaxy S25 Ultra boasts a sleeker body and rounded corners, accompanied by significantly reduced screen bezels, offering an enhanced visual experience over its predecessor, the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Notably, recent reports indicate that the forthcoming Galaxy S25 series will exclusively feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor across all markets, omitting the Exynos 2500 chip variant.

This decision may stem from the low yields and insufficient production of Samsung's 3nm chips. Additionally, issues related to the yield rate and performance of Samsung's in-house Exynos chips have frequently been reported in recent years.

It is understood that a Samsung S25+ equipped with the Exynos 2500 recently appeared on the Geekbench 6 benchmarking platform, revealing benchmark scores of 2359 for single-core and 8141 for multi-core for the model SM-S936B, still trailing behind the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

At the time, rumors suggested that this new device would be released in the European market.

It is reported that the primary reason the Exynos 2500 will not feature in the S25 series is its lower-than-expected yield rate, preventing large-scale production.

The Exynos 2500 is Samsung's second-generation 3nm process chip, promising a 20% to 30% improvement in energy efficiency and density compared to the previous 4nm FinFET process.

Conversely, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Qualcomm's latest and most powerful flagship chip to date, employs TSMC's second-generation 3nm process. The CPU utilizes Qualcomm's proprietary Oryon architecture, featuring 2 ultra-large cores and 6 large cores, with the ultra-large cores operating at a frequency of up to 4.32GHz.

RAM, a critical factor influencing phone performance, is also expected to witness significant upgrades in the Samsung S25 Ultra. Reports suggest that the device may offer up to 16GB of RAM, a notable improvement over the 12GB RAM in the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

With 16GB of RAM, users can expect a smoother experience, particularly when multitasking or utilizing generative AI functions. This upgrade sets the stage for the Samsung S25 Ultra to compete favorably in the 2025 AI smartphone market.

Beyond RAM, the Samsung S25 Ultra may also incorporate more advanced storage technology, potentially adopting UFS 4.0 or higher-version storage chips, offering faster read/write speeds and increased storage capacities. This facilitates seamless storage and access to vast amounts of data and files, catering to diverse user needs.

However, based on leaked parameters, the camera configuration of the Samsung S25 Ultra is expected to see only minor improvements.

According to foreign media, the new Samsung S25 Ultra will largely retain the hardware specifications of its predecessor, the S24 Ultra, with the sole upgrade being a new 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens.

Apart from the ultra-wide-angle lens, the primary camera remains at 200 megapixels, while the tiny 3X telephoto lens, unchanged since the S22, continues its legacy. It's almost as if the same lens has been passed down for three generations... Of course, the 5X telephoto lens retains last year's 50-megapixel specification.

Overall, compared to the Samsung S24 Ultra, only the ultra-wide-angle lens specification has been upgraded, with the 3X and 5X zoom lenses remaining unchanged. While Samsung's photography style is unlikely to change drastically, improvements in night scene and super telephoto capabilities can be anticipated.

In terms of charging, Samsung continues to leverage its traditional safe fast charging technology, with the standard version offering 25W wired charging and the S25+ and S25 Ultra supporting 45W. According to previous leaks, battery capacities remain consistent with the previous generation: 4000mAh for the standard version, 4900mAh for the Plus version, and 5000mAh for the Ultra version.

Regarding pricing, referencing previous models, the Samsung S25 Ultra's starting price is anticipated to exceed 9,000 yuan, firmly establishing it as a flagship device. This marks the first design update for the Ultra series in three years, featuring a flat screen and right-angle borders, imparting a more rugged appearance that may appeal to business professionals.

Specifically, regarding pricing, a source has shared expected prices for the Samsung Galaxy S25 series in overseas markets, anticipated to remain consistent with those of the Galaxy S24 series.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 is priced at 899 euros (currently approximately 6869 yuan) for the 128GB version and 959 euros (currently approximately 7328 yuan) for the 256GB version.

The Samsung Galaxy S25+ is priced at 1149 euros (currently approximately 8780 yuan) for the 256GB version and 1269 euros (currently approximately 9697 yuan) for the 512GB version.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is priced at 1449 euros (currently approximately 11072 yuan) for the 256GB version, 1569 euros (currently approximately 11989 yuan) for the 512GB version, and 1809 euros (currently approximately 13823 yuan) for the 1TB version.

Finally, according to leaks, Samsung is expected to host its first Galaxy Unpacked event of the year on January 22, 2025, likely in San Jose, California. The event is scheduled to commence at 10 AM Pacific Time (2 AM Beijing Time the following day). While this information has not been officially confirmed, it aligns closely with Samsung's past release schedules.

Historically, Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event in early January has served as the stage for the debut of its new flagship smartphones. This time, the Samsung Galaxy S25 series will be the centerpiece of the event. Reports indicate that the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra will make their premiere, with models like the Galaxy S25 Slim and Galaxy S25 FE possibly released at a later date.

Incidentally, Samsung has initiated the One UI 7 beta testing program based on Android 15, with the official version expected to coincide with the S25 series launch, offering users a smoother and more intelligent operating experience.

In terms of interaction, the Samsung Galaxy S25 series will be the first to launch with the One UI 7 system. Unlike the current Beta version tested on the S24, the S25 series will introduce a fresh wave of AI features and an enhanced Bixby voice assistant.

Furthermore, leaks suggest that Samsung will introduce a new "Archive" feature, enabling users to archive infrequently used apps, freezing them and requiring only a click to restore without the need for re-login.

Beyond the Galaxy S25 series, Samsung may also unveil its highly anticipated XR headset device, "Project Moohan," at this event. According to leaks, this headset boasts a lightweight design, top-tier display technology, see-through capabilities, and a natural multimodal input system, providing users with a more immersive and comfortable extended reality experience.

However, with the Samsung Galaxy S25 series release still some time away, information is subject to change. Stay tuned for updates.
