Just a few days after leaked renders showed us the Galaxy S25 Ultra and its design, a new leak has revealed what the base Galaxy S25 model will look like. The source is once again Android Headlines, who published several renders of the phone earlier today.
From the overall design to the dimensions, the Galaxy S25 is very similar to the Galaxy S24. The only notable change is the addition of a textured ring around all three rear cameras. Samsung introduced this design element with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 earlier this year.
The display bezels also appear to be smaller than the bezels on the Galaxy S24 at first glance. Look closer, though, and you will notice the bezels haven't been slimmed down. And that's fine, because the bezels on the Galaxy S24 series are already rather minimal.
Galaxy S25 design will be similar to the Galaxy S24
The Galaxy S25 reportedly measures 146.9 x 70.4 x 7.2mm. The Galaxy S24 measures 147 x 70.6 x 7.6mm, so the S25 will be marginally thinner. The slimmer profile will not affect battery capacity, however. Samsung upgraded the battery capacity from 3,900 mAh on the Galaxy S23 to 4,000 mAh on the Galaxy S24, and that same battery is expected to power the Galaxy S25.
Any battery gains, therefore, will come down to software optimization and the efficiency of the chips that will power Samsung's next Galaxy S flagship lineup. Speaking of chips, it's unclear if Samsung will use both Exynos and Snapdragon chips.
Rumor has it that Samsung might ditch the Exynos 2500, the successor to the Galaxy S24's Exynos 2400, and go all in with the yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip. But there is no concrete evidence to support either outcome.
Many people, including some diehard Samsung fans, will prefer Snapdragon over Exynos. However, the latter may be a better choice next year. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is said to be quite expensive, and that may force Samsung to jack up the asking price.
