A major Samsung Galaxy S25 leak bares all, and there’s plenty of bad news

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series will officially pop up on stage later this month. It does not offer much to feel excited about, it seems. The folks over at Android Headlines have shared alleged specs sheets of the upcoming Samsung phones alongside market-ready product renders of all three trims.

Starting with the Galaxy S25 and its Plus variant, the only notable change is the new silicon. They will arrive toting Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, but the rest of the internal hardware is a no-excitement zone. As far as the design goes, abandon all hope.

The only consolation is the increased 12GB RAM, which is apparently in response to the on-device AI workload requirements. The storage capacity once again maxes out at 512GB, while the battery capacity will also seemingly remain unchanged.

Unfortunately, the Galaxy S25 will reportedly stick with a 25W wired charging pace once again. The S25 Plus sibling will at least go up to 45W, but it is still nowhere near the competition, such as the OnePlus 13 and its 80W charging pace.

The Galaxy S series is known for its camera prowess, but it seems these two phones won’t deliver any fresh goodies. The main camera is reliant on a 50-megapixel sensor, accompanied by a 12-megapixel unit for ultrawide capture and a 10-megapixel unit for zoom shots.

Samsung is only making some meaningful upgrades on the top-of-the-line Galaxy S25 Ultra model. The design is cleaner, favoring rounded corners instead of its predecessor’s sharp corners, and an upgraded camera sensor.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra served a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera, but its successor will replace it with a more powerful 50-megapixel sensor. The rest of the imaging hardware includes a 200-megapixel camera, a short-range 10-megapixel telephoto camera, and a long-range 50-megapixel periscope zoom camera.

The camera’s optical zoom range, battery capacity, and charging speeds are identical to that of the Galaxy S24 Ultra. On the software side, the three phones will run One UI 7 based on Android 15.

The baseline Galaxy S25 and its Plus variant will reportedly hit the shelf in Iceblue, Mint, Navy, and Silver Shadow tones. The Ultra version is said to come adorned in Titanium Black, Titanium Gray, Titanium Silver Blue, and Titanium White Silver hues.

As far as the hit on the wallet goes, an alleged European retailer leak courtesy of 91Mobiles suggests these phones will likely deliver a price shocker.

The asking price of the entry-point Galaxy S25 could climb by EUR 50, about EUR 85 for the Galaxy S25+, and approximately EUR 100 for the Ultra trim. Expect a similar hike in U.S. dollar denominations unless Samsung pulls off a surprise kitty (by absorbing the hit on profits).

Sony wants you to know the new Xperia phone’s AI camera is not that bad
Sony's AI camera assistant is under fire, and its defense isn't exactly convincing.

Sony’s Xperia smartphones are known for their camera quality. They feature incredible lenses paired with advanced in-camera controls, allowing users to capture the best photos possible. 

So when the company’s official handle posted some before-and-after photos captured with its AI camera assistant, everyone was shocked, to say the least. Not only did the company foray into AI slop, but the images it shared were abysmal.

Siri is years late to the AI party, but it’s iOS 27 overhaul could still be a beta experience
Siri spent 15 years in beta and might stay there longer

Apple is reportedly preparing one of the biggest Siri redesigns in years with iOS 27, but even after multiple delays, the company may still label the upgraded assistant as a beta product. According to reports from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, internal test versions of iOS 27 already refer to the revamped Siri as a beta experience and include an option allowing users to leave the Siri beta entirely.

The move would be unusually familiar for longtime Apple users. When Apple originally introduced Siri in 2011, the assistant itself launched under a beta label before Apple quietly removed the branding in 2013. Despite that, Siri has continued to face criticism for lagging behind competitors in reliability, conversational abilities, and overall intelligence.

Siri might finally forget your embarrassing AI questions

Apple’s long-awaited Siri overhaul in iOS 27 could introduce a feature that most AI chatbots still treat as optional: automatic deletion of AI conversations. According to Mark Gurman's Bloomberg newsletter, Apple is preparing a redesigned Siri experience with a dedicated chatbot-style interface, but unlike rivals such as ChatGPT and Gemini, the company may make privacy controls a central part of the experience rather than a hidden setting.

The reported feature would allow users to automatically delete Siri conversations after 30 days, one year, or keep them permanently. The approach appears similar to the auto-delete system already available in Apple’s Messages app.
