Samsung’s latest earnings report for Q2 included some exciting revelations about its future plans. During the earnings call, company executives confirmed the upcoming Exynos 2500 chipset and hinted at significant upgrades for the Galaxy S25 series.
Daniel Araujo, Vice President of Samsung MX, shared some insights:
“For camera and display specs in particular, where we’ve been leading, the S25 at launch will have top-of-the-line upgrades. And we’re also preparing industry-best APs and memory to boost AI performance and offer an overall premium experience.”
While Araujo didn’t specify whether these enhancements apply to the entire Galaxy S25 lineup or just the Ultra model, rumors suggest that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will receive a 50MP 3x telephoto camera and a 50MP ultra-wide camera, a notable improvement from the 10MP and 12MP sensors on the S24 Ultra. This upgrade will complement the existing 50MP 5x periscope lens. Meanwhile, the standard Galaxy S25 and S25+ might not see significant camera upgrades.
The upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra is also expected to feature a mix of processors, including the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, the newly announced Exynos 2500, and potentially some MediaTek chipsets, depending on region and availability. This move marks a shift from the Galaxy S23 generation, which exclusively used Snapdragon chips. The Ultra model may also come with a generous 16GB of RAM, though it’s uncertain if this will extend to the other models.
In terms of display, the compact Galaxy S25 is rumored to sport a larger 6.36-inch screen, a slight increase from the 6.2-inch and 6.1-inch displays of its predecessors. While details about display technology remain sparse, fans hope the vanilla and plus models will benefit from the S24 Ultra’s Gorilla Glass Armor, which significantly reduces reflections.
Araujo also highlighted Samsung’s expanding AI ecosystem:
“We’re expanding the Galaxy AI ecosystem beyond smartphones to include smartwatches, buds, the ring, Tab and Galaxy Books as well as our OS, apps, and services. The Galaxy’s hybrid AI will effectively make use of both on-device AI for fast and stable usability and cloud AI for high-quality results depending on the situation, while also providing strong security including customer data, and personal information protection through Knox.”
Samsung’s commitment to AI suggests a future where its devices will seamlessly integrate into a broader ecosystem, enhancing user experience through both local and cloud-based AI solutions.
