In major Latin American countries such as Brazil and Mexico, Galaxy S23 series sales began a week later than the global release date of February 17, but sales were 1.7 times higher compared to the S22 series.
In Europe, where the sales portion of premium models is high, the Galaxy S23 line’s sales volume was 1.5 times higher than that of the S22 series. Moreover, sales were 1.4 times higher in India, and 1.5 times higher in the Middle East.
Talking about Samsung’s home ground, the Galaxy S23 series surpassed 1 million units. The company explained that this is a similar sales speed to the last year’s premium smartphone lineup.
During the February 2023 Unpacked, Samsung MX Prez TM Roh said that “We are aiming for more than double-digit sales growth compared to the previous product.”
As per the data shared by Samsung Elec, via Yonhap, the global sales ratio of Galaxy S23 Ultra, S23+, and S23 was 6:2, 2, respectively. However, the S23 Ultra, equipped with a 200-megapixel camera was overwhelming.

With S25 Edge unveiled, Galaxy S26 Edge already in Samsung’s pipeline; there’s bad news as well!

Samsung has just launched its slimmest smartphone yet, the Galaxy S25 Edge. Soon after the launch, early details about its next model, the Galaxy S26 Edge, have already started to emerge.
The Korean tech giant is reportedly planning a big change for its upcoming Galaxy S26 series. The company may replace the current “Plus” model with a new, slimmer “Edge” model with the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 series next year.
Sources from Samsung’s supply partners say that the company has started early development of the Galaxy S26 series. The project name is “NPA”, while the project name for the Galaxy S25 series was PA.
The upcoming Galaxy S lineup is expected to have three models: Standard, Edge, and Ultra. Until now, Samsung’s S series usually came in Standard, Plus, and Ultra versions. But the Plus model hasn’t been selling as well as the other two.
Samsung plans to ship a total of 37.7 million Galaxy S25 phones this year. Out of these, the Plus model has the lowest target at just 6.7 million units. In comparison, the Standard model is expected to ship 13.6 million units, while the Ultra leads with 17.4 million. This suggests that Samsung set a lower goal for the Plus model, likely due to its weaker sales in previous years.
Interestingly, Apple is facing the same issue with its Plus model and plans to replace it with a slim version starting from the iPhone 17.
If the new Galaxy S25 Edge doesn’t sell well, Samsung might not move forward with replacing the Plus model. This could mean that the Edge version might disappear, and the old Plus model could return in the Galaxy S26 series.
However, Samsung has made the S25 Edge tougher by using Corning’s new Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2. This makes the phone not just slim but also strong. Now, how well the Galaxy S25 Edge sells will help decide what Samsung does next with the Galaxy S26 series.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 mockup reveals size and design shift from Fold6

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 is shaping up to be a notable upgrade over the Z Fold6 as recent mockups and leaks reveal changes in dimensions and screen size, hinting at a refined design.
The Galaxy Z Fold6 measures 153.5 mm tall, 132.6 mm wide, and 5.6 mm thick when unfolded. When folded, it’s 153.5 mm tall, 68.1 mm wide, and 12.1 mm thick. Its cover screen is 6.3 inches, and the inner screen is 7.6 inches.
Unfolded, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold7 will likely measure 158.4 mm tall, 143.1 mm wide, and an impressive 3.9 mm thin. Folded, it retains the 158.4 mm height, with a width of 73.4 mm and a thickness of 8.9 mm.
The Galaxy Z Fold7’s cover screen is rumored to be 6.5 inches, up from 6.3 inches on the Z Fold6. The inner screen grows to 8.2 inches, compared to the Z Fold6’s 7.6-inch panel, promising more display space.
Source – PandaFlashPro/XCompared to the Z Fold6, the Z Fold7’s unfolded form is taller, wider, and notably thinner. When folded, it’s still taller and slightly wider but shaves off over 3 mm in thickness, improving portability.
The Z Fold7’s thinner profile could make it easier to carry, while larger screens enhance productivity; however, these specs are based on leaks, so final details may vary.
Samsung’s refinements could make the Z Fold7 a standout in the foldable market. While we await official confirmation, these leaks offer a glimpse into Samsung’s next foldable.

Will Samsung tease One UI 8 Beta at Galaxy S25 Edge launch?

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge launch is set for May 13, 2025, sparking curiosity about whether the One UI 8 Beta will be teased. With the event just hours away, let’s explore the possibility of One UI 8 Beta tease during the S25 Edge reveal.
The Galaxy S25 Edge, a sleek addition to the S25 series, will be unveiled at an online-only event in the US tonight. Samsung’s teaser points to a sleek yet lightweight design, a 200 MP camera, and exceptional performance.
Today’s online event is scheduled for May 13, at 9 AM Korea time, 8 PM on May 12 in New York City, US, and 5:30 AM on May 13 in India. This event will likely focus on the device’s hardware, but software updates could also be highlighted.
Historically, Samsung has used flagship launches to highlight software features, such as new One UI versions or Beta Programs.
One UI 8, based on Android 16, is nearing its Beta phase. Recent reports claim that the Beta Program begins around the end of this month or early next month. The Galaxy S25 series, including the Edge, will likely be eligible for Beta.
The Galaxy S25 Edge is confirmed to ship with One UI 7, running Android 15. No official word confirms a One UI 8 Beta tease, but the timing is compelling.
Samsung often uses flagship events to discuss software. Past Unpacked events have teased beta programs. After the One UI 7 delays, announcing the One UI 8 Beta could rebuild user trust.
There is no direct confirmation, but the proximity of the launch and beta start suggests a possible announcement. The One UI 8 Beta is rumored to start by the end of May or early June, with the Galaxy S25 series first in line.
Users should watch the live stream for confirmation.

Samsung’s Tri-Fold phone display to head to factory floor next month

Samsung is about to take a big step in foldable phone technology. Starting next month, the company will reportedly begin mass production of a brand new screen that can fold into three parts. This new display will be used in Samsung’s first Tri-Fold phone, which might be called the Galaxy G Fold. The phone is expected to be released later in 2025.
The Korean tech giant has been working on Tri-Fold screens for several years and has shown test models at events. Now, the company is ready to start making them in large numbers.
According to information via Jukanlosreve, Samsung will start mass production of the Tri-Fold display panels next month. It has also been mentioned that Samsung will produce around 200,000 to 300,000 tri-fold displays in the first batch.
The Galaxy G Fold is likely to feature advanced design and will be quite expensive, possibly more than the current Galaxy Z Fold models. It may be priced similarly to Huawei’s tri-fold phone, the Mate XT, which has already sold 400,000 units globally since February 2025. This shows that people are interested in new foldable phone designs, even if they cost a lot.

At first, Samsung might sell the Galaxy G Fold only in a few countries, including Korea and China. If it does well, the company will expand to more markets.
In addition to this, the company is also planning to release the next generations of its other foldable devices, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7, in July 2025.
Some reports claimed that the Samsung Tri-Fold phone will share several components similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, like the hinge mechanism, speaker drivers, and cutouts. In addition, it might use a Silicon-Carbon battery to store more power in a smaller space. Stay tuned for more information.

Hate Exynos? Samsung Galaxy S25 FE may pack MediaTek’s best chip

Samsung is reportedly considering a flagship MediaTek chip for the Galaxy S25 FE. Recent rumors point to Exynos 2400e’s utilization in the next Fan Edition, but the company is thinking of Dimensity 9400 as a backup chipset.
You may be pretty happy if wondering about owning the next FE, but the Exynos chip could create trouble. MediaTek’s Dimensity range is broadly used by Chinese OEMs and has proven impressively competitive against the Snapdragon 8 series.
Samsung may use MediaTek Dimensity 9400 in the Galaxy S25 FE if Exynos 2400e supply falters. The Exynos chip is being mass-produced on Samsung’s 4nm node, and literally, the Foundry has mastered its enhanced 4nm process.
Galaxy Tab S10 series also launched with a flagship MediaTek SoC. Therefore, a top-notch Dimensity silicon isn’t impossible in the Galaxy S25 FE. However, it’s just an early anticipation and Samsung may try its best to retain Exynos.
MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 chip features better specs than the Exynos 2400e. It has another advantage of being produced at TSMC facilities. Meanwhile, it would raise cost burdens on Samsung due to outsourcing the FE’s chipset.
The Galaxy S25 FE is the works, with a potential launch expected later this year. The smartphone will come with Android 16-based One UI 8 software. The FE launch in Q4 will help Samsung maintain an edge in the market.
