MagSafe-like charging
One fascinating addition that has solely just lately acquired tipped is the attainable presence of a MagSafe-like system on the Samsung Galaxy S25 line, although precisely the way it will work is unsure.
One rumor urged the Samsung Galaxy S25 sequence would all assist Qi2 wi-fi charging, which is a really related tech to MagSafe, with magnets within the telephone that allow you to magnetically connect wi-fi chargers and equipment, similar to battery packs and tripods.
However, one other urged that as a substitute Samsung may merely promote some magnetic instances, which you may then connect magnetic equipment to.
We’re inclined to say that each of those rumors are in all probability true – that the telephones will assist Qi2 charging, but in addition that Samsung may launch a variety of magnetic instances, maybe so to nonetheless firmly connect magnetic equipment when there’s a case on the telephone.
A brand new ultra-wide digital camera
Several sources have urged that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra may have a brand new ultra-camera, with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra’s pretty modest 12MP ultra-wide being changed with a extra pixel-packed 50MP sensor.
This ought to permit for extra detailed images, and can hopefully result in an general high quality improve, bringing ultra-wide pictures extra consistent with images taken with the principle digital camera.
However, this improve is reportedly only for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, with the opposite fashions possible sticking with the identical cameras as their predecessors.
A brilliant-powered chipset
Perhaps essentially the most noticeable improve in day-to-day use might be a brand new chipset, with each Samsung Galaxy S25 mannequin positive to have a quicker chipset than their predecessors.

As for the opposite fashions, they might properly use the Snapdragon 8 Elite too, however there’s an opportunity that in some areas they might use an Exynos 2500 as a substitute. This is a chipset that Samsung itself makes, and based mostly on previous kind it in all probability received’t be fairly as highly effective because the Snapdragon 8 Elite – however it ought to nonetheless be a giant improve on the Galaxy S24’s chipset.
A brand new ‘Slim’ mannequin
Not a function as such, however the largest ‘new’ factor within the Samsung Galaxy S25 line may be a very new mannequin, which for now we’re referring to because the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim.

However, to maintain it slim there could also be compromises elsewhere, similar to within the variety of lenses or the dimensions of the battery.
Extra RAM
Going by rumors, it’s wanting very possible that each the bottom Samsung Galaxy S25 and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra may have extra RAM than their predecessors.

However, one tip means that the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s beginning configuration will nonetheless have 12GB of RAM, with solely larger storage variants getting 16GB.
In any case, a lift in RAM might be fascinating, particularly for AI duties, which may be very depending on RAM. Notably although there’s no signal of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus being boosted from the 12GB of its predecessor.

So this in all probability received’t make a drastic distinction, however it should deliver the telephone extra consistent with the 6.9-inch iPhone 16 Pro Max.
However, the Samsung Galaxy S25 and Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus will in all probability have the identical display sizes as their predecessors, at 6.2 inches and 6.7 inches respectively.
