Samsung’s latest phone in the Galaxy S series, Samsung Galaxy S24, is on the horizon. With the phone about to get its official unpacked event on January 17, 2024, some fans are already eagerly anticipating what the next installment in the Samsung Galaxy S series will bring.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 might be a way off, but some good old-fashioned speculation can give an estimated date for when the phone might launch. There is also some leaked hardware-related information that might get tech-savvy individuals even more hyped for the S25 Ultra’s launch.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Release Date
There is currently no official release date for the Samsung Galaxy S25. However, the popularity of this phone series strongly suggests that the release of the Samsung Galaxy S25 is a matter of when and not a matter of if.
While Samsung hasn’t given any information regarding the Samsung Galaxy S25’s release date, the launch dates of previous entries in the Galaxy S series might give an idea of when the S25 will launch.
Previous Samsung Galaxy S Release Dates
Below is a table showcasing the four most recent phones in the Galaxy S series along with their launch dates.
| Phone | Release Date |
|---|---|
| Galaxy S20 | March 6, 2020 |
| Galaxy S21 | January 29, 2021 |
| Galaxy S22 | February 25, 2022 |
| Galaxy S23 | February 17, 2023 |
| Galaxy S24 | January 17, 2024 |
In addition to these, the S25 is rumored to have a launch date of early 2025. Although some self-proclaimed insiders are claiming that the S25 might launch near the end of 2024, it’s much more likely for it to have a Q1 2025 release date.
Not only would a 2025 release date continue Samsung’s trend of releasing one phone every year, but it would also ensure that the S25 comes out in 2025, similar to how the S23 came out in 2023 and so on.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Camera Leaks
Because of how much time is left for the Samsung Galaxy S25 to even be announced, there’s hardly any information on the phone. However, a notable leaker(Revegnus) in the tech space leaked the Samsung Galaxy S Ultra roadmap.
Those leaks contained information regarding the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s camera upgrades. According to them, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will have the following camera upgrades:
- Wide-angle lens upgraded.
- Folded telephoto lens upgraded with variable capabilities.
- Ultra-wide-angle upgraded to 50MP.
What Do These Leaks Mean?
The standout upgrade in this is definitely the folded telephoto lens. While Sony’s Xperia phones have had this feature for a couple of years now, Samsung’s camera range will likely be more than Sony’s maximum of 5.2x.
Although specifics of the “Wide-angle lens” upgrades weren’t given, upgrading the ultra-wide-angle to 50MP would allow Samsung to enable 8K recording, even with digital stabilization. There’s also the potential for Samsung to use pixel-binning thanks to this upgrade.
Conclusion
This concludes everything we currently know about the Samsung Galaxy S25 and its launch date. As the phone’s launch date edges closer, we’re certain that more information will be given to fans, whether it be through official sources, or thanks to leaks. After all, much information about the S24 was leaked even before its official unpacked event.
