Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series is rumored to debut as early as January 2025. It will include the typical S lineup trio: the vanilla, Plus, and Ultra models. Now, a new rumor surfaced online suggesting the Galaxy S25 Ultra could see a price increase in several regions due to rising production costs.

One of the biggest advances coming to the Galaxy S25 Ultra is undoubtedly the new Snapdragon chip. We have heard from several sources that every version of the S25 will come with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, meaning improved performance for all.

Notably, ISOCELL HP5 is an unannounced image sensor, and it is expected that Samsung will introduce the recently announced ALoP camera technology inside the Galaxy S25 Slim. This could be because of the slimmer profile of the phone. ALoP technology is built to occupy less space in camera modules, making it an ideal choice for slim phones.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is shaping up to be an intriguing follow-up to the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Here’s everything we know so far, based on leaks and rumours.
