Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25+ to Maintain Same Camera Hardware, Ultra Model Upgrades: Report

According to recent reports, the Samsung Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ will retain the same camera hardware as their predecessors, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra will receive an upgraded camera setup. The base model of the handset is expected to feature a 50MP primary rear camera and a 12MP selfie camera, identical to the Galaxy S24. The Galaxy S25 Ultra, on the other hand, may come with improved main, ultrawide, 3x telephoto, and 5x telephoto shooters. All three phones are rumored to run Android 15-based One UI 7.1 software out of the box and receive seven years of Android OS and security updates.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 battery capacity has also been reported to remain unchanged at 4,000mAh, similar to the Galaxy S24. Some Chinese competitors have recently increased their handset battery capacities, making it a point of contention for some consumers.

It is important to note that these reports are based on leaks and rumors and should be taken with a grain of salt until official announcements are made by Samsung. The launch of the Galaxy S25 series is predicted to occur between January and March 2025, with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 expected to be unveiled beforehand.

  • Deception (80%)
    The author expresses editorializing and pontification by stating 'we're afraid the latest rumor on the humblest member of Samsung’s next (non-foldable) high-end handset family will severely curb your excitement.' This statement is not a fact and is an opinion. The author also uses emotional manipulation by stating 'Yes, it appears that the “base” Galaxy S25 will continue to feature a... base primary camera on its back.' The author then goes on to state that the Galaxy S24 takes 'satisfying photography experience for most users' and implies that the Galaxy S25 will be similar. This is selective reporting as it only reports details that support the author's position. The author also states 'Besides, it’s important to remember that megapixels are not everything,' which is a true statement but not relevant to the topic at hand and serves as a distraction from the deception in the article.
    • The same is thus likely to be true for the non-Plus and non-Ultra Galaxy S25 if this new report pans out, and the aforementioned 50-megapixel imaging sensor is indeed not upgraded in any way, shape, or form.
    • we’re afraid the latest rumor on the humblest member of Samsung’s next (non-foldable) high-end handset family will severely curb your excitement.
    • Yes, it appears that the “base” Galaxy S25 will continue to feature a... base primary camera on its back.
  • Fallacies (95%)
    The author makes an appeal to the Dutch publication's reputation and their past accuracy in reporting on Samsung phones. This is an appeal to authority fallacy as it implies that because the publication has been correct in the past, they must be correct now without providing any evidence or reasoning of their own.
    • Yes, it appears that the 'base' Galaxy S25 will continue to feature a... base primary camera on its back, at least according to an extremely well-connected Dutch publication that’s almost never wrong about these types of things (not even six or seven months ahead of a phone’s official launch).

    The author is expressing their opinion about the battery capacity of Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S25 being identical to that of its predecessor and using the word 'pain point' to describe it. This can be considered an appeal to emotion fallacy as the author is trying to elicit an emotional response from the reader. However, this does not significantly impact the overall quality of the article as it only makes up a small portion of it.
    • The battery capacity has been a pain point at times for Samsung's vanilla S-series devices.
