- Reports out of South Korea recommend the Samsung Galaxy S25 collection will price barely greater than the S24 line
- We’ve additionally heard what storage configurations these telephones is likely to be out there in, with the usual S25 beginning at simply 128GB
- Another leaker claims all three telephones would possibly assist MagSafe-like magnetic wi-fi charging
The Samsung Galaxy S25 collection is leaking at an more and more speedy charge, with three new leaks having emerged up to now couple of days – and two of them include claims which have me anxious about what to anticipate when the telephones launch, doubtless just a few weeks from now.
First up, in response to a report from Yonhap News Agency (through @Jukanlosreve), the Samsung Galaxy S25, Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus, and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will all most likely price barely greater than their predecessors.
The website provides two causes for this. First, as we’ve heard earlier than, the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset that the telephones are anticipated to make use of is assumed to price much more than the earlier Snapdragon mannequin, which in flip will enhance Samsung’s manufacturing prices.
The website provides that there’s an opportunity some fashions will as a substitute use the cheaper Exynos 2500, however that is apparently trying unlikely, because of difficulties in manufacturing it.
In any case, the positioning additionally says the falling worth of the South Korean received may have an effect on the value of those telephones, as it should enhance the price for Samsung to import components.
As for precisely how a lot the Samsung Galaxy S25 value would possibly rise by, JoongAng.co.kr claims costs will rise by round 150,000 received (roughly $105 / £80 / AU$165), although that doesn’t essentially imply the value will rise by precisely that a lot in different areas.
Low beginning storage and a charging improve
Next up, leaker Roland Quandt has shared storage capacities for the three telephones on Bluesky. Quandt claims, disappointingly, that the Galaxy S25 will begin with simply 128GB of storage, which I’d argue is just too little for a high-end telephone.
There will apparently even be a 256GB mannequin, and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus is claimed to come back in each 256GB and 512GB configurations, whereas the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will apparently be out there in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB variations.
Those storage capacities are precisely the identical because the Samsung Galaxy S24 collection, though there was additionally a 512GB mannequin of the usual Galaxy S24 in choose areas, so it’s unclear if the identical shall be true of the S25.
Finally, in additional optimistic information, leaker @Jukanlosreve claims that fellow leaker @UniverseIce has stated the Galaxy S25 collection will assist Qi2 wi-fi charging. This charging normal permits for chargers and different equipment to connect to the telephone magnetically, equally to how Apple’s MagSafe system works.
So if that is correct you need to be capable to magnetically stick the likes of wi-fi battery packs, PopSockets, and mini tripods to the again of your telephone.
I’m taking all these leaks and claims with a pinch of salt after all, however all of them come from respected sources, so they could effectively show correct. We’ll most likely discover out in January, because the Samsung Galaxy S25 launch date is rumored to be January 22.
