Samsung will announce Galaxy S25 series in next few months and everyone from tech enthusiasts to the regular smartphone users are looking for it. In 2024, the new series will comprise the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus and S25 Ultra – all of which are likely to feature Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset (qualcomm.com).
According to our trusted source, the other notable upgrade in this series compared to the Galaxy S24 series is the base RAM: 12GB instead of 8GB. But even more lucrative is the steamed-up news that these updates may not necessarily mean a price hike, further making these new models an attractive buy for customers in India.
As per the leaks, the prices of Galaxy S25 series are likely to remain unchanged at the initial price level in India compared to its predecessors. The Galaxy S25 could be priced from ₹66,000, the S25 Plus from ₹82,000 and the top end Galaxy S25 Ultra from ₹1,07,000. This pricing is based on the global prices of $799, $999 and $1,299.
Galaxy S25 Series — Partnership Continues: More Watson for Same Price
It is a bold move for Samsung to up the RAM without also raising the price. Generally, higher RAM leads to smoother multitasking and overall performance, especially for resource-hungry tasks that require gaming or performing on-device AI. Samsung raises the bar for flagship smartphones by making 12GB of RAM the norm.
Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset efficiency: The Snapdragon 8 Elite that powers the new lineup is expected to feature incremental performance gains, and continues with an emphasis on efficient and AI processing speeds. To ensure you have enough space for apps, media and more, storage options start at 128GB for the base S25 model and go all the way up to 1TB (yes, half a terabyte) on select Plus and Ultra variants.
Why Is Samsung Boosting RAM?
It seems the DXOMARK team has added RAM across the board to help with on-device artificial intelligence. Samsung has been heavily pushing Galaxy AI to be the engine behind things like voice commands, real-time translations, photography capabilities and more.
More RAM will help the performance of these AI-centric features, and with 4GB of RAM now standard across all models, there could be significant enhancements. Users will probably benefit from speedier response, more powerful app-switching and smoother multitasking.
Samsung’s approach dovetails nicely with Google’s recent enhancements to the Pixel 9 series. In response, Google upped the base RAM to a whole 12GB for the standard Pixel 9 — and put 16GB in its high-end models entirely to support its burgeoning list of AI-based features.
Pricing in INR: Samsung Galaxy S25 series pricing is especially interesting for Indian buyers Fortunately, the pricing should reflect those upgrades rather than continue what looks destined to be the Galaxy S24 series:
- Galaxy S25 — Rs 66,000 (approx)
- Galaxy S25 Plus: Between ₹82,000 approx
- Galaxy S25 Ultra: ₹107,000 (approx)
With these prices, the S25 series is set to face tough competition in India as compared with other competitors, especially with RAM and performance upgrades.
Dimension and Design Comparison
It is mentioned that the Galaxy S25 series will be slightly slimmer than previous generations, if design leaks are to be believed. Notably, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumored to sport a thinner design with more rounded corners for better ergonomics.
The Galaxy S25 standard and the S25 Plus will also receive minimalistic and elegant design changes. Samsung’s premium materials also make these design tweaks okay in my book — this is the sleek, functional Galaxy device users will appreciate.
Examining the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset
Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset will be the powerhouse of Galaxy S25 series. It’s known for its efficiency and quickness, the better so-called “thermal management” which means energy optimization that works well in devices with a lot of RAM.
It also emphasizes on the AI aspects to make things work more seamlessly such as voice assistant, advanced photo editing and predictive text. With 12GB of RAM, we suppose Snapdragon 8 Elite will be an industry-leading performance benchmark on flagship devices.
What Differentiates the S25 from Competitors
The Galaxy S25 series will compete strongly with other brands, such as OnePlus in the Indian market and Xiaomi, Google. Though almost every competitor with a flagship device would boast similar hardware specs, Samsung is miles ahead of the competition when it comes to ecosystem and after sales service.
12GB of RAM as the new base level is where the Galaxy S25 stands out against competitors. The OnePlus 12, for instance, is said to offer a baseline of 8GB RAM — making the S25 more appealing to power users.
Improved AI Features for the Contemporary Professional
It is likely that Galaxy S25 series will also feature AI-based capabilities like real-time language translation, AI-powered photography, improved voice recognition, and more. Such features are gaining importance for users in India where vernacular speaking, and social media sharing is routine.
That added RAM means that all those features can run in the background without strangling performance, and overall it gives a fast-and-smooth feeling experience.
Price in India and Release Date
According to reports, the Galaxy S25 series is said to arrive sooner than expected and it will launch in Q1 2025 instead of the traditional February month. The quick launch could give Samsung the early edge on its competitors.
The devices will be available online through Amazon, Flipkart, and more as well as offline via Samsung’s vast retail strategy in India.
Last Words: Should You Upgrade For It?
Significantly, the Galaxy S25 series stands out as one of the first devices to introduce substantial improvements over conventional smartphone specs — and increase RAM + AI are major components regarding that. Apart from that, the unchanged pricing makes it one of the most excellent all-rounders in the premium smartphone segment.
Whether you are a Power User, a Mobile-Gamer, or simply someone who wants the latest and greatest in tech, the Galaxy S25 series seems geared up for Ultimate Flagshipdom. It looks great, performs great, and at this price point it should be on the shortlist for any 2025 upgrade.
Samsung has thus managed to keep the pricing of Galaxy S24 series similar while providing noteworthy upgrades, which will help in making Galaxy S25 series even more enticing for existing users as well as new buyers in India.
