Samsung Galaxy S25 Base Model to Feature Bigger Display Size
The Korean brand ‘Samsung’ is setting up to offer a bigger display than the base variant of the upcoming Galaxy S25 series.
Samsung is at least five months away from debuting the upcoming flagship Galaxy S25 series. Following the previous release, it’s highly expected that the Galaxy S25 series could be on the floor sometime in early 2025.
Despite any official announcement, leaks and rumors regarding the Galaxy S25 series are already blowing up in the tech market to tease the fan community. A new report has reported that the base variant of the series, the Galaxy S25, could feature a 6.3-inch display.
If this report comes true and the Galaxy S25 features a 6.3-inch display, then it will be the biggest base variant of the Galaxy S series family ever. It is being speculated by a well-reliable tipster, Anthony, on X, who shared a post suggesting that the Galaxy S25 could feature a bigger display of 6.3 inches, almost as big as the Galaxy S10+.
Recently, the design of the ultra variant of the series, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, was revealed. The leaked images of the Galaxy S25 Ultra showcased that the corners of the phone will be rounder instead of as sharp as their predecessors. The rounder corners will make it more convenient for users to use the device without a case.
It was also reported that the brand will power the Galaxy S25 Ultra with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. And we could use Exynos 2500 for the base and plus variants. It remains to be seen what new novelties the Galaxy S25 series will bring.
