Now that theiPhone 16series has arrived, we expect the next major phone launch to be the simultaneous release of the rumoredSamsung Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra in an update to the company’s current flagshipSamsung Galaxy S24lineup.

We’ve seen renders of the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Ultra already, and now it’s the turn of the middle-of-the-pack Galaxy S25 Plus.

Renders shared byAndroid Headlinesand leakerOnLeaks, based on Computer-Aided Design (CAD) documents, show the Galaxy S25 Plus as changing very little from the previous generation, apart from one key design update.

And finally, here comes your very first and early look at the #Samsung #GalaxyS25Plus (360° video + sharp 5K renders + dimensions)!One again, on behalf of @Androidheadline 👉🏻 https://t.co/MfKbWDYFWN pic.twitter.com/vnQ44Q5bWPSeptember 17, 2024

The renders show the supposed Galaxy S25 Plus toting thick camera rings that look similar to the ones on theGalaxy Z Fold 6. The placement of these cameras, though, seems to be the same as that of the cameras on theGalaxy S24 Plus, and the flat-edged rounded design looks pretty much identical too.

This follows what we’ve seen from OnLeaks’Galaxy S25andGalaxy S25 Ultrarenders, which similarly feature a near-identical design to their predecessors while adopting thicker camera rings and, in the case of the Ultra, thinner bezels.

It’s worth noting that CAD mockups aren’t entirely accurate, as they focus primarily on the dimensions of a product. AsAndroid Headlinesnotes, the renders do not feature a SIM tray, but this doesn’t necessarily meanSamsungis getting rid of it.

That said, the images appear to provide our first look at the supposed Galaxy S25 Plus following months of rumors about the phone’s internals.

Specs-wise, rumors suggest that Samsung may ship the entireGalaxy S25 series with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset.

We had previously heard that Samsung’s own Exynos 2500 chipset was the preferred choice for Europe, South Korea, and India, but asTom’s Guidenotes, Samsung may be struggling with producing the massive quantities of 3nm chips required for its smartphones.

Other leaks suggest that theGalaxy S25 Plus could launch with 12GB of RAM, up from 8GB on the Galaxy S24 Plus, which would match the amount of RAM found in theGalaxy S24 Ultraand Z Fold 6.

GSMArenasuggests that the Galaxy S25 Plus will have the same 6.7-inch display size and 4,900mAh battery as the Galaxy S24 Plus, in both regards just shy of the 6.8-inch screen and 5,000mAh battery found in theGalaxy S24 Ultra.

Of course, this is all based on rumors – it’ll be up to Samsung to confirm the design and specs of the Galaxy S25 Plus in due course.

We expect to see the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus announced alongside the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Ultra in early 2025, so until then, be sure to keep up with ourSamsung Galaxy S25hub for the latest news and updates.
