Samsung targets 22M Galaxy S25 production by mid-2025, Ultra will lead
Samsung has high ambitions with the Galaxy S25 series, targeting 22 million units by June 2025. A report suggests that parts of the upcoming models have entered mass production. The lineup is set to be announced early next year.
According to TheElec, Samsung is targeting 22 million units for the Galaxy S25 series by June 2025. The information coming from a major component partner, which reportedly received a production plan forecast from Samsung.
In particular, the S25 series’ production forecast is around 6 million Standard units, 4 million Plus units, and over 11 million Ultra units, summing up 22 million units. The S25 Ultra model will account for half of the production volume.
The report also reveals that the project name for Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 series is “Paradigm.” The term Paradigm often represents a standard, which shapes the way people think about or approach a particular topic or issue.
Galaxy S25 Series Specs (Expected)
Samsung’s next flagship lineup will have three models: a 6.2″ vanilla, a 6.7″ Plus, and a 6.9″ Ultra. While Standard and Plus are the same in size, the S25 Ultra’s screen could go slightly larger, up from 6.8″ of the S24 Ultra.
The company will be using Qualcomm’s upcoming flagship SoC. There are also rumors of MediaTek Dimensity 9400 use in the Standard model. However, things will be cleared sequentially as we approach the tentative January release.
Samsung is also exploring new designs for the S25 series. A major overhaul isn’t likely but the frame and rear sides going iPhone-inspired. The S25 Ultra could be Samsung’s sleekest and nice-looking Ultra flagship in recent years.

How to capture Northern Lights with Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
It’s the right place if you are wondering about tips to capture northern lights with your Samsung Galaxy smartphone. The Galaxy S24 Ultra packs Samsung’s best camera hardware and is excellently suitable for capturing natural wonders.
Northern Lights is considered one of the world’s most famous natural wonders. In the US, New York City’s sky lit up with hues of pink, purple, and green on Thursday night as northern lights were visible in the city.
In addition to the US, Northern Lights were also seen in the UK due to Solar Storm. It’s like a festival for astrophotography lovers and photographers. You don’t need a professional DSLR camera to capture as your Samsung Galaxy is here to help.
Capturing perfect short of the aurora is a bit tough but not impossible. You need to adjust some settings in your Galaxy camera application. Expert RAW offers pro controls, making the S24 Ultra the ultimate solution to shoot aurora borealis.
Here’s how to capture the Northern Lights.
On your Galaxy device, open the One UI’s Camera app (Expert RAW preferred). Now, enable night mode on your phone’s camera app. You need to modify some settings due to which you need to access the Manual settings mode.
Now, toggle the ‘MF’ icon to focus the camera and turn off the flash setting. ISO setting needs to be adjusted to 1600 and above so the sensor works better in low light. White balance should be around 3200K so the image will look more natural.
Next, you need to adjust the shutter speed (longer) based on the brightness of the aurora. I recommend placing the phone on a tripod horizontally so your Galaxy can capture a wider image, covering a larger portion of the aurora light.
You can use ProCam X – Lite, available on Play Store, to access manual settings.
