Leak shows Samsung Galaxy S23 might have wider bezels on all sides
Tipster IceUniverse shared an image claiming that Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S23 smartphone will have slightly wider bezels than the Galaxy S22. A few days back, the tipster revealed the possible dimensions of the Galaxy S23 series devices, and the comparison of bezels is based on that earlier leak.
According to the information, Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S23 flagship’s bezels could be widened by 0.15mm, making them slightly thicker than its predecessor. Compared to the Galaxy S21, the Galaxy S22 comes with thinner bezels, which seems to be turning again with the next-gen flagships.

The image shared by Ice suggests that the Galaxy S23’s dimensions could be 146.3mm (height), 70.9mm (length), and 7.6mm in width. It’s worth mentioning that the bezels of all four sides are apparently going to be wider than the Galaxy S22 as it expands 146 x 70.6 x 7.6 mm.

With thicker bezels, Samsung might be further improving the display’s durability as additional protection against regular dents and external harms. Meanwhile, thicker bezels will surely become a big reason for criticism as consumers don’t want to compromise with the screen-to-body ratio.
Apart from this, we know that the Galaxy S23 series will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform for all regions and countries. In its next-gen flagships, the Korean tech giant is expected to use more power-efficient and brighter displays than the existing S22 lineup.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus reappears with Exynos 2500 chipset
Samsung has just tested Exynos 2500 chipset on the Galaxy S25 Plus. Samsung’s unannounced SM-S936B was spotted on Geekbench 6. However, the retail model could be equipped with Snapdragon 8 Elite globally.
As spotted by Jukanlosreve, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus running Exynos 2500 scored up to 2358 and 8211 points in single-core and multi-core tests. The model number refers to the European variant of the Galaxy S25 Plus smartphone.
In early November, the chipset was spotted on the same handset with similar Geekbench scores. That time, the Exynos 2500 reached 2,359 points and 8,141 points in Geekbench 6’s single-core and multi-core CPU tests.
The current Exynos 2500 benchmark scores are far from its rivals. The Snapdragon 8 Elite manages to reach up to 3127 and 9509, while Dimensity 9400 reaches 2711 and 8632 points in single and multi-core tests, respectively.
It is said that the Exynos 2500 may not power the Galaxy S25 series. The Korean tech giant has reportedly commenced mass production. The next year’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 could be equipped with a 3nm-based Exynos 2500 processor.
Geekbench reveals that the Exynos 2500 features a 10-core CPU, with the prime CPU core clocked at 3.3GHz, two high-performance cores at 2.75GHz, and three at 2.36GHz. The platform has two power-efficient CPU cores, running at 1.8GHz.
Samsung’s in-house chip is speculated to get Xclipse 950 GPU based on AMD’s RDNA architecture. It could also be supported by Vulkan 1.3, additional dynamic state, device profiles, dynamic rendering, and improved sync API.
The Foundry division is currently facing yield issues with the 3nm process. Industry observers estimate that the yield rate is extremely low (around 20%). Given the yield concerns, Exynos 2500 is unlikely in the Galaxy S25 series next year.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 to grow in size with new display upgrades
Samsung will begin 2025 with the unveiling of the Galaxy S25 series. In the second half, the company will introduce next-generation foldables. A source suggests that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 may increase with new display upgrades.
Display supply chain insider Ross Young shared crucial display info about the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7. Both upcoming foldables could get new display upgrades, with the Z Flip 7 matching the Motorola Razr’s cover display lead next year.
Galaxy Z Flip 7
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 may get a larger cover and inner display than the Z Flip 6. The main screen could measure around 6.85 inches, while the cover panel could be 4 inches.
This year’s Flip smartphone has a 6.7-inch primary display and a 3.4-inch cover screen. The cover panel is not entirely rectangular due to the two camera rings on the back panel.
An increment from 6.7″ to 6.85″ will make a positive impact on the usability. The outer panel will go larger, offering even more space to use the device without unfolding.
Galaxy Z Fold 7
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 could also get an upgraded cover and inner screens. The source revealed that next year’s Z Fold model may have the same display as the Z Fold Special Edition.
The Galaxy Z Fold SE is a pretty major upgrade over the regular Galaxy Z Fold 6. It has a main display of 8 inches, while the outer display measures 6.5 inches.
With the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Samsung significantly improved the usability of the outer screen. However, the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition brought the one that users have demanded for long.
