Documentation confirms that the device will retain its signature S Pen and offer 45W wired fast charging, supported by the included EP-T2510 charger. This matches the charging speed of its predecessor, the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
The Ultra model will feature connectivity options such as Bluetooth, dual-band Wi-Fi, 5G, GNSS, and NFC. Its sibling, the Galaxy S25 Plus (SM-936U), will share these connectivity specs and also retain 45W fast charging with the same charger model. The base Galaxy S25 (SM-931U) will have similar connectivity features but diverges in charging capabilities.
It continues to support 25W wired charging but reportedly downgrades its wireless charging speed to 9W, compared to 15W on the Galaxy S24. While details about the internal hardware and design are still sparse, the series is expected to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Rumours also suggest a design overhaul, with the S25 Ultra adopting softer, rounded corners and flatter sides for improved ergonomics.
Leaked live images and a brief hands-on video have showcased its thinner bezels, flatter design, and elements of Samsung’s One UI 7 interface. A South Korean report indicates Samsung has high expectations for the Galaxy S25 lineup, planning to produce 2 million units by December and another 5 million in January. The company is also reportedly integrating more AI capabilities into its next-generation devices.
Samsung is poised to unveil the Galaxy S25 series in January, likely setting the stage for a major 2024 flagship launch..
