Unpacked 2025: Galaxy S25 and Smarter AI
Leaks suggest the Galaxy S25 series will focus on AI and performance upgrades. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, expect faster processing, better graphics, and smarter machine learning, with Samsung’s Galaxy AI and Google’s Gemini AI integrated for seamless cross-platform features.
The Galaxy S25 series is rumored to start with 12 GB of RAM (16 GB for the Ultra) and support Qi2 wireless charging for efficient power-ups.
Camera upgrades may be minor for the S25 and S25 Plus, but the Ultra could debut 50 MP periscope and ultrawide lenses. Design changes are subtle, with the Ultra rumored to feature slimmer bezels and a more rounded look.
Color options include blue, green, titanium, and more, with exclusive choices for online orders. Stay tuned!

Samsung might have surprises beyond the Galaxy S25 series. Rumors point to a Galaxy S25 Slim, a sleek 6 mm-thin version of the flagship, potentially revealed during Unpacked. Expected to arrive later at a premium price, it may trade some features for its ultraslim design.
Other possible reveals include the Galaxy Ring 2, a health-focused wearable with improved tracking, and the Galaxy XR, a mixed reality device. Speculation ranges from smart glasses to a full XR headset running Google’s new XR OS. Stay tuned for details!
