Here are some important details of Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S21
Samsung may launch its first tri-fold smartphone in 2025. Following the launch of Huawei Mate XT, industry sources and Korean media outlets reported that Honor will also be entering the tri-fold device market.
Recently, Korean leaker yeux1122 claimed that Samsung is developing the Galaxy Z Fold with a tri-fold screen, which is likely to release the device as early as 2025.
Unlike the Mate XT, Samsung’s tri-fold could use a dual inward-folding hinge. The different design approach will allow for an independent external screen.
This redesign will enhance the phone’s usability and multitasking capabilities. Notably, foldable displays generally work as both the main and cover screen.
This year, Samsung’s phone lineup has been relatively subdued. The company acknowledged that changes to its product lineup are gradual, but it has promised significant changes next year.
Other reports have made similar claims, stating that a three-screen Galaxy Fold is in development, suggesting Samsung is taking its foldable technology in a new direction.
The development of folding panels is advancing rapidly, with more vendors entering the competition. It seems Samsung may be preparing for a big leap forward in the foldable market.
Apart from this, the source pointed out that a Special Edition of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is in development, and it is expected to launch alongside the standard Galaxy Z Fold 7.
Many significant upgrades from Samsung are anticipated in 2025, as it is also mentioned that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE will be released together with the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
Samsung Galaxy S25 will launch in early 2025 with new specifications including an improved display, new display, optimized battery life, new software features, and more. This standard Galaxy S25 offers different capabilities including the following.

Disclaimer: These Samsung Galaxy S25 specifications are gathered from leaks, rumors, and previous flagships. However, none of these cannot be confirmed as 100% accurate.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Price
Samsung Galaxy S25 5G should start at $800 in the United States. The price leaks and rumors aren’t out yet. However, the industry speculates a slight increase due to Qualcomm’s pricey 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Release Date
The Galaxy S25 series could be announced early next year. The company officially confirmed at its earnings call that the new Galaxy S will be released in the second half. You can expect the new flagships to be available by February 2025.
Galaxy S25 Ultra dummy leak reveals the nearly final design of Samsung’s next big flagship. After CAD renders, we now have a closer look at the refined new design of the Ultra flagship, which will give sleepless nights to Apple.
Onleaks posted a set of Galaxy S25 Ultra dummy models. The flagship can be seen with its refined design, which makes the corner slightly rounded. The Z Fold6-inspired camera rings also elevate the rear panel’s appearance, making it appealing.
There are three major changes in the body design of Samsung’s next Ultra flagship. The first is the frame, which is getting flatter like the iPhone. Second is rounded corners, that are not that rounded like S24/S25, and third is textured camera rings.
Notably, the dummy units don’t show a close look at the bezels. However, this aspect is expected to be improved over the previous generations. Minimal symmetrical bezels will present an appealing look on the phone’s front side.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is slimmer than the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The S Pen compartment resists on the frame’s bottom, accompanied by the primary microphone, USB C-Type port, speaker grille, and SIM card tray.
The right side of the frame features volume adjustment buttons and a side key. The power button can be configured to trigger a digital assistant. The fingerprint scanner will be featured as an in-screen solution with faster and more reliable recognition.
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S25 series in late January next year.
