Samsung is gearing up to unveil the Galaxy S24 series soon. However, new reports regarding its 2025 flagship lineup have already started surfacing, and it seems that the Galaxy S25 and the Galaxy S25+ might not be getting a major upgrade in camera technology.

Samsung Galaxy S25 & S25+ to retain the ISOCELL GN3 sensor

Previously, known tipster Revegnus had claimed that the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ will no longer be using the ISOCELL GN3 image sensors. This basically implied that the two models would be seeing an upgrade in terms of photography. For those unaware, the South Korean tech giant has used this sensor for multiple devices like the Galaxy S22, S22+, S23, S23+, Z Fold 4, and Z Fold 5 over the past three years.

But unfortunately, it seems like this might not be the case anymore. In a fresh tweet, Revegnus stated that it is being reported that Samsung may still use the GN3 for the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ models. This means that the previous plans to ditch the GN3 sensor may have been canceled. The current gen Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ feature the same sensor. The initial leak also hinted at the ISOCELL sensor being replaced with a Sony sensor, although the exact model wasn’t revealed.

I'm sorry… everyone… It's reported that Samsung may use the GN3 in the S25/25+. https://t.co/Hft9FS4cCf

If this is true, then Samsung’s Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ will retain a 50-megapixel primary sensor. We can also expect it to feature a 12-megapixel ultra wide angle lens and a 10-megapixel telephoto shooter. It is worth noting that this is still just an unconfirmed report so take this news with a pinch of salt and stick around for more updates.

Samsung is gearing up for the release of the Galaxy S24 lineup. While an official launch date is yet to be announced, the smartphone has begun popping up on various certification platforms, including the FCC, hinting at imminent launch.

Galaxy S24 series

Despite the anticipated mid-January 2024 release of the S24 series, leaks surrounding the successor, the Galaxy S25 series, have already started appearing online.

Galaxy S25/S25+ may ditch Samsung GN3 in favor of a Sony camera sensor

Tipster Revengus on X/Twitter has divulged new information regarding the cameras of the Galaxy S25 and S25+. As per the tipster’s claims, Samsung will abandon the Samsung GN3 sensor in favor of Sony’s image sensor for the Galaxy S25 and S25+.

Great news: The S25 and S25+ will no longer use the dreadful GN3 sensor; instead, they will feature Sony’s image sensor. I’m very happy! https://t.co/P6pxMEmyMl

The ISOCELL GN3 sensor has been used in a range of Samsung smartphones over the past three years, including the Galaxy S22, S22+, S23, S23+, Fold 4, and Fold 5. It is a 50MP sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, 1.0-micron pixels, and support for Dual Pixel PDAF and OIS.

But things could change from the Galaxy S25 series, as hinted by the tipster. This change could be significant for Samsung, as the GN3 sensor has been a reliable workhorse for the company’s flagship devices.

Of course, this is just a rumor at this point, and there is no guarantee that Samsung will make the switch to a Sony sensor. However, it is certainly an interesting development to follow.

Meanwhile, the upcoming Galaxy S24 and S24+ are expected to retain the same 50MP Samsung GN3 sensor as their main camera. This will be complemented by a 12MP ultra-wide and a 10MP telephoto unit. For more details on the Galaxy S24 and S24+, check out the full story here.
