Samsung promises Galaxy S25 will get ‘top-of-the-line’ camera, display upgrades

TL;DR

• A Samsung executive has claimed that the Galaxy S25 series will offer “top-of-the-line” camera and display upgrades.
• The executive also said it expects future devices to “understand the context of conversations.”

Samsung mobile experience (MX) vice-president Daniel Araujo promised notable Galaxy S25 upgrades in a Q2 2024 earnings call (h/t: Seeking Alpha):

So on your second question, we’ve consistently upgraded the hardware in our S Series to deliver industry-leading experiences to customers, and we’ll continue to enhance key experiences as well (as) upgrade hardware so that we can offer top performance. For camera and display specs in particular, where we’ve been leading, the S25 at launch will have top-of-the-line upgrades. And we’re also preparing industry-best APs and memory to boost AI performance and offer an overall premium experience.

The executive didn’t delve into specific camera and display upgrades. However, the most recent leaks suggest the Galaxy S25 Ultra, in particular, would get a 50MP 3x camera, which would be a major upgrade in theory from the S24 Ultra’s 10MP 3x sensor. We hope the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus also see significant hardware upgrades, especially in light of the vanilla and Plus phones using the same camera hardware since 2022.

Araujo also broadly touched on Samsung’s future mobile AI plans:

So looking forward, we expect to be able to understand the context of conversations and provide a natural conversation and experience across our devices. To achieve this, we’ll strengthen partnerships and collaborations while developing our AI technologies further.

This statement comes a couple of weeks after Samsung announced the acquisition of UK startup Oxford Semantic Technologies, which specializes in knowledge graph technology.
