The base variant is likely to come with 12GB of RAM, offering smooth multitasking capabilities. Storage options will include 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB, giving users plenty of space for their apps, photos, and videos.
Battery life is a key focus, and the Galaxy S25 will feature a 4,000mAh battery, which is paired with 25W wired fast charging. While wireless charging support is also expected, details about its output remain uncertain. As for the camera, the Galaxy S25 is rumored to sport a 50MP primary sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 10MP telephoto lens.
