Samsung confirms the arrival of its S25 and teases a new, cheaper foldable model

The year 2025 should be the year of change for Samsung. Its S24 range is certainly enjoying great success, but the firm seems to be relying on its achievements over the past few years, whether it be its flagships or its foldable models, which offer little in the way of new features compared to older models. Thus, Samsung took advantage of its financial statement of the third quarter of 2024 to give a vision of what awaits fans of the firm for 2025, starting with the new Galaxy S25.

The Galaxy S25s launched in the first half of 2025 (which will surprise no one)

Samsung thus indicates that these new premium models will be unveiled in the first half of 2025, which will not be a surprise to anyone since it is the firm's habit to announce its new Galaxy S in the first three months. of each year. As a bonus, Samsung shared a little word about Galaxy AI: “The Galaxy S25 series, which will be launched in the first half of next year, plans to enhance the Galaxy AI experience to enable real innovation in daily life and increase Samsung's sales by strengthening both marketing and user experience” we can read in the press release from the South Korean firm.

A quick word about Samsung's XR device

For several months now, various rumors have been talking about the launch of an extended reality device, developed in collaboration with Google and powered by a Qualcomm chip. Initially planned for 2024, this new device will not finally arrive until next year, and Samsung was able to slip in a little note about it: “We plan to contribute to the expansion of the Samsung Health ecosystem with the Galaxy Ring launched this year and strengthen the connectivity experience between our products, such as the XR (eXtended Reality) device scheduled to launch in the future“.

What about foldable smartphones, then?

This is one of Samsung's specificities: every year, the firm offers new foldable models with its Galaxy Z Fold & Galaxy Z Flip. Next year should be no different, but this time, Samsung seems to be preparing a cheaper model to reach a wider audience. More specifically, Samsung claims to explore “ways to lower barriers to entry so more customers can actually try foldable products“. Remember that, until now, Samsung had been quite clear on the problem: there would be no cheaper foldable model. But with sales at half mast, it seems that the firm is finally changing its position on this about.
