S25 what is expected vs S24

[Wodehouse]

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series for the Indian market is expected to introduce several enhancements over the Galaxy S24 series. Here's a comparative overview based on leaks, rumors, and industry insights:

Design and Build:

Display: The S25 is rumored to feature a larger display than the S24, potentially going from 6.2 inches to about 6.36 inches for the base model. The S25 Ultra might retain its 6.8-inch screen but with thinner bezels and a lighter, possibly titanium frame.

Design: Expectations include a more rounded frame for the S25, moving away from the boxier design of the S24. The S25 Ultra might follow suit with a sleek, slim design while retaining the S Pen.

Performance:

Chipset: The Galaxy S25 is anticipated to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 globally, potentially eliminating the regional Exynos variants seen with the S24. However, there are suggestions of three chipset options including Exynos and MediaTek Dimensity 9400 in some markets.

AI Enhancements: Improved AI capabilities are expected, including on-device AI for better performance in tasks like camera processing, battery management, and real-time translation.

Camera:

Sensors: The S25 Ultra might feature an upgraded 50MP telephoto lens, enhancing zoom capabilities from the S24 Ultra's 10MP 3x telephoto. The base models might retain similar camera setups but with software improvements.

Camera AI: There's mention of DLSS-like AI upscaling for games, suggesting advancements in camera software to improve image quality.

Battery and Charging:

Battery: The S25 series might not see significant changes in battery capacity, potentially keeping around the same 4,000mAh for the base model and 5,000mAh for the Ultra. However, efficiency might improve due to the new chipset.

Charging: No significant changes are expected in charging speeds, keeping with 25W wired and 15W wireless charging for the base models.

Software and Features:

Software Support: Like the S24, the S25 is expected to offer seven years of OS and security updates, ensuring long-term software support.

New Features: Anticipation includes new Galaxy AI features, with an emphasis on productivity and photography enhancements.

Pricing:

Price Increase: There's speculation that the S25 Ultra might be more expensive than the S24 Ultra due to increased production costs, although Samsung aims to keep prices competitive by employing cost-cutting measures in some areas like display technology.

Market Strategy:

Shipment Targets: Samsung is reportedly setting higher shipment targets for the S25 series, aiming to outperform the S24's sales with an expected shipment of around 37 million units in 2025.

In summary, while the S25 series aims to offer incremental but meaningful upgrades over the S24, particularly in performance, AI, and camera technology, the core design philosophy and battery life seem to remain consistent with an eye on sustainability and cost management. Remember, these are based on leaks and expectations which can change as Samsung finalizes its strategy for the Indian market.

Remember Qi2 doesn't mean magnets.

They should do away with heat chip India variant. We hate dragon 🐉 🫣

[Darkvader12]

dont think so snapdragon processor is better in terms of heat management and thermals

Price variance high compared to Exynos which Indian consumers may not prefer without a quantum bump in features and performance which does not look imminent in S25.

Upgrades are minimal except for 8elite 3nm chip but mo major upgrades / set of new specs. Also, the price increase doesn't looks good, value for money is getting low.
Hardware like camera sensor size, battery capacity is lower than recent launches and will fall behind in S26 series when the chineee brands upgrade hardware even further.
It aches my hearts to say that Samsung no longer is leading innovation.

[Wodehouse]

True. S series is afflicted with poor battery capacity which they could have pumped upto 6000 MAh for Ultra and between 5000 to 5500 for lower versions.

[AudioJack35]

That would be great and would have somewhat justified price increase.
