Samsung will finally bring seamless updates to its flagship phones, starting with the Galaxy S25 series - here's why that's exciting.

For reference, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is 162.3 x 79 x 8.6mm, so that would make the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra a tiny bit taller, but narrower and thinner. We’ve also heard that the Galaxy S25 Ultra might be lighter at 219g, rather than the 232g of its predecessor.

Samsung may introduce Android Seamless Update to the Galaxy S25, meaning updating Android versions could be a lot less hassle.

In fact, it already did a dry run with the Galaxy A55 that is its first phone to support the Seamless Update option. According to a reliable leakster, Samsung will indeed bring the faster, safer, seamless Android update option to the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra, making them its first flagship phones to support it.

That said, the latest Geekbench listing shows that the Exynos 2500 chipset could still feature in some regions, particularly in the Galaxy S25+ model. The device in question, with model number SM-S936B, is shown to be running the Exynos chip, despite the rumors surrounding the Snapdragon 8 Elite’s global rollout.

The Galaxy A55 5G supports seamless updates for a faster update process, and a leaker says this feature will come to the Galaxy S25 series.

We might see a brighter screen on the Galaxy S25, but the S23 holds its ground pretty well too. There's no huge reason to upgrade if you focus on the display tech alone. Of course, we need to run our tests on the Galaxy S25 when it lands in our lab, so stay tuned for that.

Samsung will release the Galaxy S25 family in early 2025—it won't admit that, but we all know it's happening. The new phones will undoubtedly run the latest Qualcomm silicon with big, bright OLED screens, but there may be a surprise inside. A leaker claims Samsung will finally add support for A/B system updates with the Galaxy S25.

The Galaxy S24 FE may not be a massive departure from its predecessor, but it still packs many upgrades, including an updated design, display size, and processor. The Galaxy S23 FE was one of last year’s best midrange smartphones,

It's likely that the Galaxy S25 will run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset when the new phones arrive next year. And that could be the most important change Samsung makes to its phones.
