This has been a roller coaster few weeks for the community. With the launch of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite and the news that Samsung was looking to use Qualcomm’s latest system-on-chip across the entire Galaxy S25 range, Galaxy fans were ready for a consistent level of performance across the portfolio.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 line could land in early 2025, and we have predictions for the announcement, pre-order, and on-sale dates.

The leak from Jukanlosreve (via Android Police) hints at a Game Assist feature that appears meant to improve performance on the S25 series via upscaling and a bit of Qualcomm technology. It hints at a device that makes the iPhone 16 look outdated in terms of gaming.

Joining the S25, S25 Plus and S25 Ultra, will be an all-new S25 “slim” model, which was previously rumoured to be launching standalone at a later date.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is set to launch next year and pretty much expected to set the bar for all other phones to follow in the coming year. Let's see how Apple's current best stack up against it.

The Galaxy S25 could come with a new Game Assist mode that doubles framerate without affecting battery life or heat output.
