Samsung Galaxy S25+ and Ultra India launch nears as BIS listing surfaces
Samsung Galaxy S25+ and S25 Ultra will launch soon in India. The upcoming flagship phones have been listed on India’s BIS database. The lineup is expected to be introduced early next year, with vanilla S25 will also be unveiled.
91mobiles spotted the presence of the Galaxy S25+ and S25 Ultra on the BIS database, confirming the India launch. However, the listing reveals nothing other than the model numbers, which isn’t a sensational input.

Notably, the S25 (standard model) has not been listed on BIS. The company is expected to bring three models; S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra, globally. We expect the S25 will also be listed on the certification to ensure a seamless debut.

Samsung has allegedly made fruitful design refinements across the lineup. The Galaxy S25 Ultra would feature slightly rounded corners, while all three models could have flat frames, as part of enhancing the handling experience.
The S25 series is expected to use Snapdragon 8 Elite globally. Qualcomm’s new processor brings huge performance improvements over previous generations. It’s fabricated using a 3nm process, which significantly enhances efficiency.
As far as the pricing is concerned, inputs contain mixed assumptions. Some reports say Samsung may not hike prices following Apple. Meanwhile, it’s also rumored that the S25 Ultra maybe $110 costlier than the S24 Ultra.
A Korean media outlet reported that the Galaxy Unpacked may take place on January 22 in the US. We’ve also heard that the pre-reservation may start in early January. The lineup could be released globally in early February next year.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will set new standards for mobile cameras and performance. The company has made meaningful changes to the design, while the boxy Note design is being eliminated. Recent rumors promise exceptional photography capabilities and performance upgrades in the next Ultra flagship.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Price and Release
The upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to be available in two RAM and three memory options. The device could start at $1299 in the US for 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, while the 1TB variant could reach up to a whopping $1659. Samsung is rumored to release the next-gen Galaxy S phones in late January 2025.
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.
SIM tray and charging boards of Samsung Galaxy S25 series have been leaked. While the phones are yet to go on sale, official spare parts have been listed online. The parts discovered by Roland Quandt reveal color options for the S25.
Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus could be available in Black, Green, Purple, Blue and White colors. The SIM tray spare reveals the official color options for both non-Ultra Samsung flagships coming early next year.
Notably, the SIM trays are for only Samsung’s Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus. The Ultra variant’s colorways may be different from these models. We could see a similar revelation for the Galaxy S25 Ultra too, in the next few days.

The source also spotted charging components for the S25 models. Unlike the SIM tray, charging assemblies surfaced for the S25 Ultra too. The phones will feature a USB Type-C charging port – as confirmed through the charging board leak.
Internal components have started to appear, but, the official launch could only happen in 2025. It is expected that the Unpacked event could be held in late January next year, with shipments starting in early February.

Samsung will equip the Galaxy S25 Ultra with Snapdragon 8 Elite. The flagship will have 12GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage (paired with 16GB RAM). This powerful configuration will deliver never-before-seen performance.
The device could also get a 50-megapixel ultrawide sensor. The remaining four cameras (including the selfie snapper) will remain the same as the S24 Ultra. The entire lineup is slated to come with a price increment of $100.
