Samsung's Galaxy S series of smartphones are among the most highly anticipated mobiles every year. They can set the tone of style and software that consumers will expect to see. Now, Samsung's design approach for 2025 is becoming clear.

We're expecting three Samsung Galaxy S25 phones to appear sometime in January 2025, but the latest rumors suggest the standard edition might be the last of its kind – with Samsung potentially dropping the cheapest, smallest Galaxy S26 model in 2026.

Granted, we're comparing apples and oranges here. A better comparison would be the new Galaxy S24 FE (starts at $649.99) and the entry-level Galaxy S24 (starts at $859.99). They share more of the same specs and the price difference between the two is only $210.

The latest Galaxy S25 Ultra details suggest Samsung has found a way to improve the speed it takes to process AI routines.

There are still a few months to go before the Galaxy S25 Ultra launch, but we may now know what it looks like.

Your palms can breathe a sigh of relief, the S25 Ultra is set to have much improved ergonomics compared to Ultras from the last several years.

This price hike could deliver a ~$190 price tag for Qualcomm and a potential ~$155 tag for MediaTek's Dimensity 9400. Qualcomm confirmed its next chip will rock custom Oryon cores and its SVP Chris Patrick eluded to a potential price increase last year.
