The Samsung Galaxy S25 has generated excitement even before its official release. Leaked renders offer a glimpse of what the next generation smartphone might look like. Though these renders, from insider OnLeaks, haven’t been confirmed by Samsung, they align with past leaks that were accurate. Based on these insights, the Galaxy S25 design will likely focus on subtle refinements rather than major changes.
A Sneak Peek at Samsung Galaxy S25: Subtle Yet Significant Changes
Design and Build: Subtle Refinements Over Revolution
The leaked images by AndroidHeadlines and @UniverseIce and details suggest that the Galaxy S25 will maintain Samsung’s consistent design approach. In recent years, Samsung has focused on design evolution rather than drastic changes. The Galaxy S25 seems to follow this trend. Like the Galaxy S24, it stays true to the design principles of the Galaxy S series but includes small refinements.
From the front, the Galaxy S25 looks almost identical to the Galaxy S24. The display dominates the front, following the same design style as the Galaxy S24, which was a minor update from the Galaxy S23. However, the back of the device shows slight differences. The most noticeable change is in the camera module, where the rings around the three lenses are more pronounced and possibly larger than on the S24. This suggests a small shift in the camera setup, hinting at improved photography features.
Dimensions: Slight Shrinkage
One of the most intriguing aspects of the Galaxy S25, according to the leaked renders, is the slight reduction in its dimensions compared to its predecessor. The Galaxy S25 is expected to measure 146.9mm in height, 70.4mm in length, and 7.2mm in thickness, making it marginally smaller than the Galaxy S24. The Galaxy S24, for comparison, measures 147mm x 70.6mm x 7.6mm. These minor reductions may not be immediately noticeable, but they contribute to an overall sleeker and more compact device.
However, the bezels around the display seem to remain relatively unchanged, with only a very slight reduction in size. This small tweak results in a tiny reduction in the display size, from 6.2 inches to 6.17 inches. The difference is so minimal that most users are unlikely to notice it during daily use.
Processor and Performance: Snapdragon’s Return?
On the technical front, the Galaxy S25 could mark a return to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors across all regions. Historically, Samsung has alternated between its in house Exynos chips and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors depending on the region. However, rumors suggest that the Galaxy S25 will be running the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which promises to be a powerhouse of performance, especially in handling AI-driven tasks.

Additionally, the Galaxy S25 is expected to receive an upgrade in RAM, moving from the 8GB standard found in the Galaxy S24 to a more robust 12GB in the base model. This increase in memory should help the Galaxy S25 handle more demanding applications, especially in the context of on device artificial intelligence, which Samsung has been heavily promoting with its Galaxy AI initiative.
Storage and Battery Life: Unchanged but Optimized
Despite these upgrades, it appears that the Galaxy S25’s base storage configuration will remain at 128GB. This may come as a disappointment to some users who were hoping for a larger base storage option, especially considering the growing size of apps, photos, and videos. However, Samsung has historically offered higher storage variants, so users requiring more space can likely opt for those.
In terms of battery life, the Galaxy S25 will reportedly feature the same 4,000mAh battery as the Galaxy S24. While 4,000mAh might seem small compared to some other flagship devices on the market, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors are known for their energy efficiency, meaning the S25 could potentially offer better battery life than its predecessor. This efficiency gain could offset the disappointment of not seeing a larger battery capacity in the S25.
Camera and Display: Minor Tweaks
As mentioned earlier, the Galaxy S25’s camera rings appear slightly more pronounced than those on the S24, which could indicate that Samsung has made some behind the scenes tweaks to its camera system. It remain to see whether these changes are purely aesthetic or indicative of hardware improvements. However, Samsung has consistently focused on improving its camera technology. So it’s likely that the S25 will offer at least some enhancements in this area.
The display itself remains largely the same, with the aforementioned slight reduction in size being almost imperceptible. However, another insider, Ice Universe, has suggested that the bezels surrounding the display may be thinner than those shown in the early renders. This could contribute to a slightly more immersive viewing experience, though the difference could be minor.
Conclusion: A Familiar Yet Improved Flagship
In conclusion, the Samsung Galaxy S25 appears to be a familiar yet refined flagship. It may not bring any groundbreaking design changes but continues Samsung’s approach of steady improvements. The focus remains on performance, camera upgrades, and small design adjustments.
For Galaxy S24 users, the S25 might not seem like a huge upgrade. However, those with older models will find it to be a modern and powerful device with the latest features.
As always, these leaked details should be taken with caution until Samsung officially reveals the Galaxy S25. This will likely happen in early 2025 at their next Unpacked event. Still, if past leaks are any indication, these renders and specs are probably close to what we’ll see on launch day.
