The Samsung Galaxy S25 is first on the list to be scheduled for next year, 2025, and it is expected to have upgraded RAM, but the maximum storage remains unchanged. 

The Galaxy S25 is quite far from debuting, but already leaks and rumors have started unveiling details regarding hardware and software novelties. Now a few rumors are claiming that Samsung could keep various areas of the Galaxy S25 Ultra unchanged as compared to the newly launched Galaxy S24 Ultra. On the other hand, another tipster says that Samsung could introduce a RAM upgrade to its top-end flagship in 2025, but the internal storage might not change. 

It is expected that the Korean giant is setting up to bring back 16GB of RAM to the Galaxy S25 Ultra after reducing it in recent models. It appears that this move might be a response to competition from Chinese phone makers and a strategy to upgrade market share. 

However, the reason to reduce RAM by Samsung is yet to be clear, but it could be related to keeping costs down. Initially, Samsung introduced a 16GB RAM variant with early flagship devices such as the Galaxy S20 Ultra and the Galaxy S21Ultra. 

A post on X shared by a tipster hinting at three variants of Galaxy S25 variants: 

• 12GB + 256GB 
• 16GB + 512GB
• 16GB + 1TB

However, Samsung might be hesitant to increase base storage since usually users don’t need that much. While expandable storage is perfect for some, it’s unlikely the Galaxy S25 Ultra will have a microSD slot based on recent trends from Samsung. 

The Galaxy S24 seems like a good luck button for Samsung! Just after the debut of the Galaxy S24 series, the revenue and profits of the Korean giant went on cloud nine. It breaks a record of four years, as Samsung smartphone sales have risen in the US more than in the previous four years. 

It was already revealed within a few days after its debut, the Samsung Galaxy S24 broke the sales record of its predecessor series. Now again, the reports are unveiling the new metrics of success, as the Galaxy smartphone market share within the first quarter of this year was 31%, which is a 14% boost as compared to last year’s first quarter (Q1 2023) when the brand’s market share stuck near 27%. 

The boost in market share appears to have come at the expense of Google’s and TCL’s shipments. With a rise of 31% in the market, the share reached a four-year high after 2020. However, here’s the catchable fact: even after a boost in sales, Samsung remained the second-biggest smartphone brand behind Apple. 

Apple was the leading  smartphone brand in the US during the quarter. It had a market share of 52%, similar to its metrics for 2023. That’s impressive, and it appears that the debut of the Galaxy S24 series didn’t affect Apple since it is still leading the market share. However, a huge range of people are choosing Samsung’s high-end phones, such as the Galaxy S24 Ultra. 

Circle to Search, or you can call it in your so-cold language. Circle and Search both refer to a facility that lets you search anything directly from the screen by just circling text or image. Let’s count the smartphone devices that support Google Circle and Search right now. 

The Circle to Search by Google feature gained its fandom after Samsung introduced it on the Galaxy S24 series as a part of Galaxy AI. Later, Google introduced over the last few weeks the Circle and Search feature along with the support of Google Lens, which lets you integrate Google search in a completely new way as compared to previous times. 

Circle to Search is a Google AI tool that permits users to search for queries on their smartphones using gestures such as circling or tapping without even switching between the apps. The major fact about this novelty is that it prevents wasting time switching between two apps just to search for something. Google and Samsung have already made this convenient novelty available on their smartphones. Check out the list mentioned below:
