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.

While there’s still a chance this rumor turns out to be bogus, the fact that Samsung has offered seamless updates in the Galaxy A55 does suggest things are turning around. It’s just a shame it’s taken until the Galaxy S25 to make it happen. But, better now than never.

Samsung will release the Galaxy S25 family in early 2025—it won't admit that, but we all know it's happening. The new phones will undoubtedly run the latest Qualcomm silicon with big, bright OLED screens, but there may be a surprise inside. A leaker claims Samsung will finally add support for A/B system updates with the Galaxy S25.
