Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S25 series next year. However, leaks about the flagship lineup have already started pouring in. It was earlier reported that the standard Galaxy S25 will come with the same battery specifications as the Galaxy S24.
Then the leak suggested that Samsung is going to upgrade at least three of the four cameras on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. According to the rumored camera specs, the Galaxy S25 Ultra could pack a 200MP camera with a new ISOCELL HP2 sensor.
The ultra-wide camera is rumored to be a 1/2.76-inch JN1 sensor, which will boost the camera’s resolution to 50MP. For the 3x telephoto camera, Samsung is rumored to be bringing a new 1/3-inch ISOCELL sensor. There is also a rumor that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor that will be used in the Galaxy S25 series could bring improved AI scaling for games.
In all these leaks, one thing is common, there is no mention of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus model. And if the latest Android Headlines report is to be believed, Samsung may have already gone ahead with the plan to phase out the Plus model, starting with the Galaxy S25 series. It is speculated that this will be done to simplify the flagship setup.
According to the report, the folks at Android Headlines spotted Samsung working on the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Ultra. The latter is expected to be the thinnest ultraphone since the Note20 Ultra. Interestingly, the source could not find any evidence of a Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus in the database. This could mean that it’s time for us to say goodbye to the Plus model in Samsung’s flagship S series.
According to the report, the Galaxy S25 is available with the model number SM-S931B/DS in the IMEI database, while the S25 Ultra is listed with the model numbers SM-S938B, SM-S938U, SM-S938N and SM-S9380. Where the letter “B” stands for Global, “U” for USA and “N” for South Korea.
The exact reason why Samsung may have abandoned the Plus model is currently unclear. In fact, there is no concrete evidence to suggest that there won’t be a Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus model. So, we suggest you take this piece of information with a grain of salt.
