After multiple rounds of leaks, the test firmware for the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, expected to launch next year, has been spotted, suggesting that preparations for the device are on track.
If a fresh leak is to be believed, Samsung could change its smartphone naming scheme for the upcoming Galaxy S25. Next year's flagship, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, could be called the Galaxy S25 Note.
For the first time, Samsung, in its latest earnings call, named the Exynos 2500 for Galaxy S25, which is the second 3nm chipset after the Exynos W1000, which debuted earlier this month.
The latest tip suggests that Samsung could use silicon capacitors for its Exynos 2500 processors, which it is expected to use inside next year's flagship, the Galaxy S25 series, in some regions.
It seems like Samsung may be bidding adieu to the Plus model starting with the Galaxy S25 series scheduled to launch next year, as no evidence of the Galaxy S25 Plus model was spotted in the database.
If the latest rumor is to be believed then the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 series powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor could unlock DLSS-like AI upscaling, to sharpen the graphics of games.
Latest reports suggest that next year's Samsung Galaxy S25 series could be powered by a MediaTek flagship processor, at least for handsets in some regions because of increased chip costs.
Reportedly the camera upgrades in next year's Galaxy S25 lineup may be reserved only for the Galaxy S25 Ultra, and the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus cameras may remain the same as their predecessors.
Industry analysts believe that Samsung's Exynos 2500 based on 3nm technology could surpass the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, all thanks to Samsung's GAA technology, which limits energy wastage.
