Samsung unlikely to bring Ultra camera upgrades to Galaxy S25, S25 Plus
Samsung is unlikely to bring camera upgrades to Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus. The next year’s Ultra flagship is rumored to pack three 50MP and 200MP camera sensors. However, the other two variants might not see any revision in terms of optics.
GalaxyClub reports that Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus will feature a 50MP rear camera. Details about the other two rear cameras remain a mystery, and the front camera may also be unchanged. The S25 and S25 Plus may get the same 12MP front camera as the S23 and S24.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumored to be equipped with 200MP primary, 50MP 5x Periscope, 50MP 3x Telephoto and 50MP ultrawide camera sensors. Samsung may be upgrading at least three cameras in its next Ultra, cementing its presence in the flagship phone market.
Apart from this, the Exynos 2500 is also reportedly canceled. This means, all the models of the Galaxy S25 series would be equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. Not only the US and China, but Asian and European countries are likely to get Snapdragon-powered S25 phones.
Samsung may launch the Galaxy S25 series in early 2025. A mega Unpacked event will be taking place in Paris next month. At the event, a lot of new Galaxy products will be unveiled: Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6, Galaxy Ring, Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro and Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch Ultra.
Samsung has already rolled out the latest security patch to the Galaxy S24 series in India, Korea, Europe, the US, and China. Now, the company is expanding the June 2024 security patch to the Galaxy S24 models in the Middle East.
The update enhances the security and stability of smartphones by fixing over 50 issues. It also improves some features such as image display on the screen, battery usage tracking, secure phone calls, and the functionality of the Samsung Dialer application for better user experience.
Users of the Samsung Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus, and Galaxy S24 Ultra are getting the June 2024 security update in the Middle East through One UI build version S92xBXXS2AXED. The installation package size of this update is around 453.20MB.
To install the update, open the smartphone’s Settings, select ‘Software Update’, and then ‘Download and install’. Following these steps will ensure that your Galaxy smartphone is up-to-date with the latest security protections.
Aside from this, Samsung is working to introduce the Super HDR on/off toggle for Instagram on the Galaxy S24 series. This option ensures users who prefer an SDR viewing experience can still enjoy Instagram content without HDR enhancements.

Users of One UI 6.1-based Samsung devices are regularly reporting an issue in which the date and time display format is not aligned correctly. This issue is particularly noticed with Korean or Chinese characters. The Korean tech giant has confirmed to fix this issue in the next update.
Some reports via Galaxy users have highlighted the strange date and time alignment issue, which was partially resolved by switching from the default font to the Samsung One font or any other font. However, this has not fully resolved the issue for everyone as several Galaxy device models including the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 are affected by this issue.
Samsung has acknowledged the issue and confirmed that a fix is underway. A community moderator has stated that the fix for the alignment issue will be released with the next One UI 6.1 update.
It means that the upcoming July 2024 update is expected to include a patch specifically to fix this One UI 6.1 alignment error. Users are advised to install the update promptly when it becomes available to ensure the issue is resolved.
Recently, a Good Lock moderator mentioned that the clock format alignment issue is related to the QuickStar app and aims to address it in the upcoming One UI 7.0 update.
