TheSamsung Galaxy S24series only came to market in January, but that hasn’t stopped eagle-eyed leakers from sharing early rumors about theSamsung Galaxy S25and its siblings.
The latest tidbit to emerge concerns the base Galaxy S25, specifically. According to serial leaker Revengus (viaX), Samsung fans can expect “considerable changes in the overall design and concept of the Galaxy S25 series,” with the phone’s screen size tipped to increase from 6.2 inches to 6.36 inches.
This new 6.36-inch display size would bring the Galaxy S25 in line with theiPhone 16 Pro, which is alsotipped to be taller and narrower than its predecessor, theiPhone 15 Pro. For context, theGalaxy S24 Ultra’s screen measures 6.8 inches, though the Galaxy S25 Ultra isreportedlyin line for a minor screen size increase, too.

Revengus’ information comes from a “company source” inSouth Korea, but the leaker has previouslystatedthat the Galaxy S25 will boast “significant design changes” versus the Galaxy S24. In other words, this new rumor builds on existing claims, so we’re confident of its authenticity.
Revengus has also previously noted that former Mercedes-Benz designer Ilhwan Lee “is focused on the task of redefining the Galaxy brand’s past image to provide a fresh feel,” so it seems like a display size increase for the Galaxy S25 could be a key part of this shake-up.
A jump from 6.2 inches to 6.36 inches doesn’t sound like much, but this extra 0.16 inches of internal real estate could allowSamsungto beef up other Galaxy S25 components. Indeed, another Samsung leaker, Bennett Buhner, has already claimed (viaX) that the Galaxy S25 Ultra is getting a bigger battery and main camera sensor, owing to its slightly larger screen size versus the Galaxy S24 Ultra; so we could see the same philosophy applied to the standard Galaxy S25.

As for what else we’ve heard about Samsung’s next flagship models,the Galaxy S25 will reportedly use a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, which is rumored to besignificantly more powerful than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Thisnew Qualcomm chipset might also support faster RAM, which could bring better on-device AI capabilities to the Galaxy S25.
