Samsung just lately launched its newest folding telephones, and the present Galaxy S24 collection is fairly nice. Nevertheless, I am ready for the Galaxy S25 Extremely to reach early subsequent yr, and consider it will be a wonderful substitute for my growing older Galaxy S21 Extremely.
Sure, I nonetheless use an previous however highly capable Galaxy S21 Ultra as my day by day telephone. Why? It is a strong telephone with a shocking display, glorious cameras, the newest model of Android, and far more. The previous couple of Extremely telephones have not been sufficient to sway me, but it surely’s lastly time to improve. Here is why.
An Improved Design With Rounded Corners

Certain, each new flagship phone is barely higher than the outgoing mannequin, however these days, Samsung hasn’t made sufficient adjustments to make the improve value my whereas. The Extremely has marginal upgrades, to not point out a giant, sq., boxy design. In accordance with numerous leaks, that is lastly altering with the upcoming Galaxy S25 Extremely. Personally, that is a giant deal.
From what we hear, the Galaxy S25 Extremely design is healthier in each facet. It will ditch the sq. Observe-like form for rounded edges, making it considerably simpler (and extra snug) to carry. Truthfully, that is my greatest grievance about latest Extremely telephones. And sure, it will nonetheless have the S-Pen stylus. These photographs completely sum up my ideas on the final three years of Extremely telephones.
These sharp corners, case or not, make large telephones very uncomfortable to make use of for quite a lot of minutes. These telephones are additionally more and more extensive and heavy, exacerbating the issue.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Extremely is predicted to have a bigger 6.86-inch show (in comparison with 6.79), however Samsung might promote it as a 6.9-inch display. Sure, the display is larger than final yr, however due to smaller bezels, thinner facet rails, and rounded edges, it ought to really feel smaller in hand than the S24 Extremely and older outgoing fashions.
Different Galaxy S25 Extremely specs are doubtless a sturdy titanium design, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 AI chipset, improved cameras, extra RAM, and proceed with the S-Pen, IP68 resistance, and quick 45W charging, to call a couple of.
Higher Cameras With AI Goodies
My growing older Galaxy S21 Extremely is simply getting a couple of of the many Galaxy AI features, and Android 15 can be its final main OS replace. So, whereas it is time to improve, even when the Galaxy S25 Extremely solely delivered a extra rounded design, that might be sufficient for me. Fortunately, that is not all we’re anticipating to see.
Clearly, AI is in all places. Samsung’s upcoming telephone will run the newest Android 15 replace with One UI 7, and you’ll wager on a number of new AI options. A lot of these will doubtless revolve across the powerhouse of cameras on the again, all powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.
Annually, the cameras enhance due to software program prowess, AI, and different minor adjustments. Even when we do not get 4 new cameras on the again (spoiler: we cannot), it will nonetheless be well worth the improve. I count on an upgraded 50MP ultra-wide digital camera, a 200MP HP2 major digital camera, the same 10MP 3x zoom lens, and a 50MP 5x IMX854 sensor. We may see a greater front-facing selfie digital camera, however all these will profit from improved software program, processing, and AI.
My almost 4-year-old S21 Extremely nonetheless takes glorious photographs, however the S25 Extremely can be an apparent improve.
Thinner and Lighter Than Earlier Ultras
Other than the extra snug design with rounded corners, the Galaxy S25 Extremely might be the thinnest and lightest flagship Extremely telephone but. Rumor has it that Samsung will proceed to make use of high-grade titanium for the body. Nonetheless, it will be thinner and never as extensive, to not point out the scale discount from smaller bezels, guaranteeing the telephone is bodily lighter than earlier than. Once more, it is all about consolation once we’re holding these huge units in our arms all day.
One other report from the famed leakster UniverseIce mentions how the Galaxy S25 Extremely will weigh lower than the S24 Extremely, S23 Extremely, and even the brand new iPhone 16 Professional Max.
- Samsung Galaxy S25 Extremely weight: 219g
- iPhone 16 Professional Max weight: 227g
- Samsung Galaxy S24 Extremely weight: 233g
Even with an even bigger display and higher specs, the Galaxy S25 Extremely needs to be smaller, thinner, lighter, curvier, and simpler to carry and use vs. earlier Extremely fashions. Mix all of these design enhancements with the newest model of Android, a shocking AMOLED 2X show, seven years of OS updates, and a bunch of AI goodies, and the Galaxy S25 Extremely is shaping up as a wonderful telephone value ready for.
