S25 = 24 + new SoC

    If this is true then it’s Top 5 atleast. But it won’t get near to OnePlus 13

      Darth Caesium, 01 Jan 2025S25 Ultra if it had actual upgrades: •Price — $1,250 / $1,... moreIt's would be perfect, but Samsung will do these upgrades in 5years to milk money with every year's release

        I'm being a bit more reserved with the specs here because of the space taken up by the S-Pen, but this is what I'd envision a more competitive and competent Samsung to do. Notice how I'm using only Samsung sensors — that's because a competent Samsung would be structured much better than how it is right now, and would be able to have significant cost savings from using their own sensors. Allegedly they don't make ANY cost savings right now by using their own sensors, because the different divisions inside Samsung have zero communication with each other and are almost entirely their own separate companies.

          Narazumono, 01 Jan 2025What to expect: everything that's on the S24 Ultra but... moreFailed jokes.

          95% of phone copied the middle punch hole signature design of Samsung.

          Where is notch?
          Where is corner punch hole a la chinese phone ?

          They all look like Samsung now.

            DarlingYext, 01 Jan 2025Easy answer: Nothing new. I agree, nothing new for S Ultra in having higher sales number than any chinese flagship.

              DarlingYext, 01 Jan 2025"Finally, Samsung will premiere the belated One UI 7 w... moreNo nees to hurry, since many features on Android 15 are based from old features OneUI 6 (or older)

              I mean just look all those new AI features on chinese flagship, they have been existing already on OneUI 6.

              Next year, i can guess next "new" features of Android 16 only by looking the OneUI 7.

                "Finally, Samsung will premiere the belated One UI 7 with Android 15 on the Galaxy S25 series. "

                Talk about late. That's terrible from such a large company, especially one that's being praised for their updates.

                  You mean :

                  bad cameras (compere it with 200 pro and find x 8 pro..) bro ,find x8Ultra and x200 ultra are on the way!!!

                  And bad charging, after all those years... 🤦🏻‍♂️

                  I decided to buy it ,but in this specs... Defently not.

                    I expect S25 Ultra to have higher sales number compared to any chinese flagship, just like before.

                      Just ultra wide camera upgrade it's look like not a new model but face lift of version of s23 ultra.

                        Battery should be 5.5k at least it would be good if so :/

                          Michalis, 01 Jan 2025Where did you get the laughable notion that Samsung would u... moreThey will actually use an 8MP ultrawide with fixed focus, just so they can say they changed something, other than the price.

                            Easy answer:

                            Nothing new.

                              Eduard33, 01 Jan 2025>It's expected to be an ISOCELL S5KJN3 sensor, comm... moreThe logic ain't logicing bro 😭

                                >It's expected to be an ISOCELL S5KJN3 sensor, commonly known as the GN3

                                Great logic right here lol

                                  What to expect: everything that's on the S24 Ultra but now with a generic iPhone copy paste design
                                  Oh and maybe a higher price as always

                                    Dear Samsung, replace that 10MP 3x telephoto with the ISOCELL S5K3LU. Thank you!

                                      Isn't the screen supposed to be 6.86"?

                                        Where did you get the laughable notion that Samsung would use a 1/1.56" sensor for UW? IceUniverse has confirmed it's JN3, 1/2.52" sensor with f/1.9 aperture.
