Galaxy S25 series will be the next flagship device in the smartphone gallery, and it might debut on January 22, 2025, at the Galaxy Unpacked event in the US. Ahead of the launch, a tipster claimed that the base models of the Galaxy S25 series will come with 12GB of RAM.
@yabhishekhd on Twitter/X says that the Galaxy S25 series’ base storage variant will come with 12GB of RAM. It means, this year you may miss the 8GB RAM variants. Plus, the base storage variant can be 256GB. As a result, we may see the price increase.

As we step closer to the tentative launch date, another tipster @Jukanlosreve leaked Spigen-made and third-party cases of the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra. This leaked case image shows a Nothing-style transparent design with the phone’s internal components.
Earlier, a leaker Evan Blass published the Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra images and the final color name of all Galaxy S25 series phones. The Galaxy S25+ continues to sport round corners and thin bezels, while, the Galaxy S25 Ultra features slightly rounded corners, unlike the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which contains sharp corners.
In addition to this, the leaker also shared the image of the Galaxy Unpacked launch event invite for the Galaxy S25 series. The leaked poster reveals that the Galaxy S25 series will likely be unveiled on January 22, 2025.
All Galaxy S25 series phones will run Android 15 based on One UI 7 pre-installed and eligible for seven years of Android OS upgrades and security patches, similar tot he Galaxy S24 series.

After the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung has today resumed the rollout of One UI 7 based on the Android 15 update for the Galaxy Z Flip 6, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Fold 6 SE. It is worth noting that the Korean tech giant had halted the rollout a few days ago due to a serious bug discovered in the initial update, so it is now rolling out a new firmware that will fix this issue.
Samsung has started rolling out the new One UI 7 update for the Galaxy Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6, and Fold 6 SE. Initially available in South Korea, the new One UI 7 build will go live in more markets soon. This build is a more refined build than the initial build and includes fixes for system improvements.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6, and Fold 6 SE users can recognize it by the build number ending with BYD9.
Your Galaxy foldable device might have also received the new build. But you can check for the update manually in Settings > Software update. Click on Download and install so that your phone can receive the new OTA.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has now appeared on Geekbench, revealing that the company is carrying out pre-launch tests and preparations for its new device. The latest listing also solves the chipset mystery that has been in rumours for a long time.
According to the Geekbench 6.4 listing, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 US variant with model number SM-F966U achieved 3022 points on single-core and 9307 points on multi-core tests.
The US variant of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has appeared on Geekbench with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. Also, the phone is expected to run on Android 16-based One UI 8 operating system
Being a flagship folding handset, all these things sound quite good. Nevertheless, the actual performance will only be known once the device is officially launched in the consumer market. Inputs reveal that the chipset is clocked at 3.53 GHz base frequency.
Apart from this, the Korean tech giant can launch the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 around July this year. Also, an affordable flip model can also be introduced along with both the devices.
