Samsung is managing to bring such fruitful hardware upgrades due to the return of the Exynos 2400. It’s reported that cost reduction through diversification of processors played a significant role in the reason why high-performance M13 OLED can be installed earlier than next year’s iPhones.
Not that all, but the base and Plus Galaxy S24 models could come with 12GB RAM, while the Ultra with 16GB RAM. Ditching the 128GB storage option, Samsung appears to be shipping 256GB storage models as standard, which is another bold decision.
“Galaxy S24 is expected to show improvement in generational differences by evolving almost all performance such as device, quality, cost, and power consumption through the installation of M13 OLED.” It will be evaluated as a focused and powerful product,” said an industry insider.
Samsung could soon launch its new Fan Edition smartphone. Ahead of the launch, the official unboxing video of the Galaxy S24 FE leaked, revealing the phone’s design, colors, specifications, and key features.
Leaker EvanBlass posted an official Galaxy S24 FE unboxing video. Samsung is expected to launch the smartphone on September 26. The leaked video will be published by Samsung following the phone’s official announcement.
In-box stuff includes an S24 FE handset, a USB Type-C to Type-C cable, a SIM tray ejector pin, and a user manual. The video showcases the smartphone in all of its upcoming color variants alongside some Samsung.com exclusive shades.
The Galaxy S24 FE will have a 4700mAh battery, up from the 4500mAh of the S23 FE. The display is also 6.7-inch, a 3-inch increase over the previous FEs. The upgraded panel will support ProVisual Engine and extra brightness up to 1900nits.
The device features a 50MP primary, a 12MP ultrawide, an 8MP telephoto, and a 10MP selfie camera. Galaxy AI could introduce new camera features such as AI Zoom so the handset could deliver enriched zoom shots.
Samsung has reportedly increased the pricing by $50 in key markets. This is due to upgrades made across aspects including display, processor, and battery. The phone could start at $649 in the US and the 256GB model could have a price tag of $709.
Additional features include an in-display fingerprint reader, stereo speakers, up to 7 years of Android updates, Galaxy AI suite, an IP68 rating, support for 25W wired, 15W wireless charging, and 4.5W reverse wireless charging.
Samsung could launch the Galaxy S25 series in early 2025. Meanwhile, work on future products is already underway as a routine process. Apple could debut its 2nm processor in the 2026 iPhone to rival Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series.
Ming-Chi Kuo revealed Apple’s tentative chipset strategy for future chips. The analyst claimed that the iPhone 17’s SoC will be produced on a 3nm TSMC N3P process. The company would debut an advanced 2nm chip with Pro models.
It is expected that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 will be made using 2nm process technology. Previously, Qualcomm approached Samsung Foundry on a 2nm production deal. However, TSMC will remain the primary producer of 2025 Snapdragon.
Samsung’s 2026 flagships will certainly use Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset. This means the advanced semiconductor process product will first come to Android before Apple. The iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max could arrive in late 2026 with 2nm silicon.
The processors for 2025 iPhone 17 models will be made by TSMC's N3P process/3-nanometer technology. The processor for 2026 iPhone 18 models is anticipated to use TSMC's 2-nanometer technology. However, due to cost concerns, not all new iPhone 18 models may be equipped with a…

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is manufactured using a second-gen 4nm process. Qualcomm stuck with 4nm despite Apple’s decision to opt for 3nm last year. This year’s Snapdragon will be the first Android chip to be made using a 3nm processor.
Rumors floated so far suggest that the 2026 Snapdragon could be based on a 2nm process node. The chip will be smaller than the upcoming Snapdragon, offering enhanced power efficiency and performance wonders.
Galaxy S25 x Snapdragon 8 Gen 4
Samsung’s upcoming flagships will be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. This processor will introduce Qualcomm’s Oryon CPU and newer GPU. It’s the biggest opportunity for Android vendors to beat Apple’s lead in chip performance.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus could look the same as S24 Plus from the front. The company has reportedly reduced side bezels on the vanilla and Ultra variants. Meanwhile, the lineup’s middle child could introduce no bezel refinements.
The Galaxy S25 Plus could have wider bezels than S25 and S25 Ultra. Tipster IceUniverse claims that the move is aligned with differentiating the Plus from Ultra. It’s also said that the recently leaked renders have frame appearance errors.
The S25 Ultra is said to be slightly thicker and more squarish than the S25 Plus. This is highly due to identical display size with a difference of only 0.1mm. The backplate will have notable differences due to distinct cameras and sensors.
Samsung’s next-gen flagships will likely debut in January next year. Details about the upcoming phones are floating heavily, fading the One UI 7 trend. However, things may change with time as early rumors couldn’t be considered final specs.
A bad news,S25+ will be the widest bezel among the three models, which is almost the same as S24+.
It may be that Samsung did this on purpose to make way for S25 Ultra.

The Galaxy S25 Plus could be equipped with a 4900mAh battery. Similar to the S24 Plus, it would support 45W fast charging technology. Yet, you can expect even longer battery performance due to the enhanced application processor.
Samsung will either use Exynos 2500 or Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Both chipsets will be developed using the next-generation 3nm chipset. Improved display technology may further push the power efficiency, offering even more juice to run.
