Samsung Galaxy S25 Set for Major Redesign and Enhanced Display; Qualcomm Deal Ensures Snapdragon Future

Amid rumors of significant design changes, Samsung Galaxy S25 is expected to sport a larger display, starting with the base model. This comes as Samsung secures a pivotal deal with Qualcomm, promising Snapdragon chipsets for future Galaxy devices, igniting speculation on the S25's capabilities.

Samsung Galaxy S25 to Flaunt Bigger Displays: Samsung's Leap Towards Enhanced User Experience

According to Wccftech reports, on the Korean blog Naver, tipster yeux1122 claims to have received critical information from a Samsung source. The design changes for the Galaxy S25 series needed to be more detailed, but it was stated that the base model's display size would be increased to 6.36 inches, up from 6.2 inches for the Galaxy S24. The Galaxy S24 Plus and Galaxy S24 Ultra have larger screens than the cheaper member of Samsung's current flagship family.

The Galaxy S24 Plus boasts a 6.7-inch display, while the top-tier Galaxy S24 Ultra recently entered the compact tablet category with a 6.8-inch screen. Given these figures, it's plausible that the Galaxy S25 models might sport even larger panels, potentially offering a significant edge over their predecessors. A larger display could mean more room for innovative components, enhancing the user experience.

A larger display could lead to increased battery capacity and a vapor chamber with a larger surface area, ensuring optimal cooling for the new models. Considering the impressive shipment numbers of the Galaxy S24 series, it's clear that Samsung is keen to maintain its momentum. They understand that upgrading chipsets, cameras, and AI features will only work if the design remains stagnant.

Samsung Secures Snapdragon Chipsets in New Qualcomm Deal: Future of Galaxy S25 Under Speculation

The recent multi-year agreement between Samsung and Qualcomm is a significant development in the smartphone industry. This agreement ensures that Samsung will have access to the top-notch Snapdragon chipsets for the foreseeable future. Consequently, the upcoming Galaxy S25 will likely feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor, at least in some capacity. However, there's a rumor that suggests a different scenario.

The rumor does not entirely rule out the possibility of Snapdragon chipsets in Galaxy phones; it simply states that they will be limited to the Galaxy Z series, which makes sense. However, given that the Galaxy S is mainline and the Z series is based on the S series, it makes little sense to prevent the Galaxy S25 series from using the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Of course, it is too early to say anything, but the rumor needs to sit better with me, especially given that both companies have a multi-year agreement.

While the Exynos 2400 has shown commendable performance compared to its Snapdragon counterpart, it's hard to justify withholding the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 from potential Galaxy S25 users. However, it's important to remember that we're still in the early stages of understanding Samsung's plans. A wealth of information is yet to be revealed, which will gradually unfold in the coming weeks or months.
