Design and Display Changes
In addition to being slimmed down, The next generation Galaxy S- series Flagships could also sport curves around their edges which brings back memories of when Samsung made curved-edged phones such as the Galaxy Note7 instead of boxy-shaped designs like those seen on current ultra models.
By reintroducing curved displays into its designs—something that was characteristic of early Samsung handsets—the company improved on ergonomics and attracted the eye.
Processor Variants and Strategies
Reports on the Galaxy S25 series have been at odds with each other regarding which processors will be used. Initially, there were rumors that Samsung would use Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and Exynos 2500 processors for different regions suggesting a twin-chip strategy.
Speculation was based on the assumption that the Exynos 2500 processor may be better than the Snapdragon equivalent.
However, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes that Samsung will only rely on Qualcomm for its Galaxy S25 series, dismissing the possibility of Exynos-powered models.
Furthermore, in a recent report, it was suggested that Samsung may also use a MediaTek chipset, as costs associated with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 continue to rise.
As such, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is shaping up to be a significant upgrade in terms of performance, design as well as versatility.
