Samsung Galaxy S25: Potential Big Display & Camera Enhancements

The Galaxy S24 Ultra, one of Samsung's flagship Android phones launched this year, is indeed an impressive piece of technology. Its anti-reflective display and high-performance capabilities are laudable features that have won users' hearts worldwide. However, despite these highlights, the phone falls short in its camera capabilities compared to competitors like OnePlus and Xiaomi. 
 
Samsung's 200MP primary shooter and telephoto cameras on the Galaxy S24 Ultra do not measure up against its rivals'. This shortfall is primarily because Samsung has refrained from using larger camera sensors on its top-tier Galaxy phones as opposed to other brands. But all hope is not lost for photography enthusiasts who also happen to be loyal fans of Samsung. 
 
During a recent Q2 2024 earnings call by Samsung, Daniel Araujo, VP of Mobile Experience (MX), hinted at significant improvements in store for next year’s Galaxy S25 model. He emphasized that "top-of-the-line" enhancements would be made in both display quality and camera performance. 
 
As leaders in OLED display technology, it comes as no surprise that Samsung plans to use the best available panels for their flagship devices. The current Galaxy S24 Ultra boasts a staggering peak brightness level with its 6.8-inch OLED panel protected by Corning's new Gorilla Glass Armor, which reduces reflections by about 75%. With expectations set high for next year’s release, the introduction of new Tandem OLED display technology could offer even higher brightness levels while improving power efficiency simultaneously. 
 
In terms of camera upgrades—much needed considering current feedback—rumors suggest that the Galaxy S25 Ultra may sport a larger 50MP 3x telephoto sensor instead of retaining the smaller-sized sensor currently used since launching their 2021 model, the Galaxy S21 Ultra. This upgrade should significantly improve image quality and detail captured through photos taken via this device. 
 
Despite these promising advancements projected towards enhancing the user experience with future models such as the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Samsung appears to be sticking with its 200MP primary sensor, which has been a constant feature in their recent models, the S24 and S23 Ultra. 
 
Beyond hardware improvements, Araujo also mentioned Samsung’s plans to upgrade AI capabilities. The company aims to work closely with partners like Google and others for this purpose. The goal is to develop devices that can understand context within conversations and offer users a more natural interaction experience across all devices. 
 
Samsung's lead over competitors in terms of AI integration is already considerable, but if these planned enhancements materialize as expected, it will only further solidify their position in the market. 
 
In conclusion, while the Galaxy S24 Ultra may not have hit all marks perfectly—particularly concerning camera quality—there remains great potential for improvement with next year’s release of the Galaxy S25 model. This anticipation alone might just be enough reason for users to contemplate whether or not they should invest in a new phone now or wait until next year.
