Samsung could pull a similar trick with the Galaxy S25 family, namely release the three expected handsets—the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra—in mid-January and hold back the presumptively named S25 Slim for a few months.

It’s no secret that Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S25 series of smartphones early next year, which should consist of three models, including the standard Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

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

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.

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