Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S25 series in the next couple of months. All three models in the line — the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra — will reportedly feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.
Additionally, leaks suggest the lineup will start with 12GB of RAM, an upgrade from the 8GB base in the previous generation. Despite this improvement, a new leak suggests the S25 series will match the pricing of the S24 lineup.
According to a now-deleted post by leaker Jukanlosreve, the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra will retain their predecessors’ starting prices: $799, $999, and $1,299, respectively. In other regions, these prices convert to roughly £799/AU$1,399, £999/AU$1,699, and £1,249/AU$2,199.
Storage configurations are also rumored to remain unchanged, with the base S25 starting at 128GB and the Plus and Ultra models starting at 256GB.
Why the increased RAM?
While the Snapdragon 8 Elite will be an unsurprising iterative upgrade, the increased RAM is likely a response to the growing demand for on-device AI features.
Samsung has been heavily promoting Galaxy AI as a key element of its mobile platform. Adding an extra 4GB of RAM across the board could result in noticeable improvements in AI performance.
Google followed a similar approach with the Pixel 9 series. It increased the base RAM to 12GB on the Pixel 9, while the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL come with 16GB of RAM across all storage variants to make AI-powered features run smoothly on devices.
The Galaxy S25 series might launch earlier than expected, according to a recent report. We have also seen the design renders of the vanilla S25 and S25 Ultra, and all three phones in the series are expected to have slightly slimmer dimensions compared to their predecessors.
