It’s that time of year again! Samsung’s about to drop their latest and greatest new devices, and though there have been plenty of leaks thus far, we’re still eagerly awaiting a few surprises from Samsung. The latest version of Unpacked is just around the corner, and the Galaxy S25 series is ready to take center stage.
Aside from the usual bump in specs and polish we expect from every new Galaxy phone, there’s a lot of hype around the S25’s camera. Rumors are swirling about a massive 200MP sensor on the Ultra model, and if that’s true, we could be looking at a serious contender for the best smartphone camera out there.
We’re also fully expecting some big changes to the look and feel of the Galaxy S25 Ultra with the exit of the boxy shape and the entrance of more rounded corners and flattened sides that feel a bit more modern and in-line with other flagship smartphones.
Of course, we’re also expecting a lot of AI to be a part of the announcements. Samsung has been at work with Google to continue pushing what AI can do on our phones, and we’re expecting some big announcements on that front.
