hello. This is Technologytodaynow. Ahead of the announcement of the iPhone 16 series, the Galaxy S25 series is also gaining more and more attention. While the iPhone 16 series is expected to introduce a new camera placement and enhance its ability to support mixed reality (MR) technology, the Galaxy S25 series is expected to follow suit.
Linkage of Galaxy S25 series and Galaxy XR
The Galaxy S25 series is expected to be closely tied to the Galaxy XR, a new space computing platform that Samsung is preparing. IT tipster Ice Universe noted that the Galaxy S25’s design and some of its features were designed with the Galaxy XR in mind. This suggests that mixed reality (MR) technology, which is being jointly developed by Samsung Electronics and Google, could have a significant impact on the Galaxy S25 series.
The Galaxy XR behind the veil
Samsung will unveil the Galaxy XR in the second half of 2024 through a Galaxy One-Pack event. Although specific information about the Galaxy XR is lacking so far, integration and interworking with the Galaxy S25 series is expected to be a key feature. Specifically, the Galaxy XR will feature Qualcomm’s dedicated chipset for spatial computing, Snapdragon XR 2 Plus Gen 2, to ensure smooth data transfer and communication with the Galaxy S25 by supporting Wi-Fi 7 and advanced Bluetooth standards.
Galaxy S25 Ultra looks set to get a major design change
The Galaxy S25 series, and the Ultra in particular, is heralding a significant change in design. Unlike previous Galaxy models, the Ultra will have rounded side frames when viewed from the rear backplate. This leads to an asymmetrical design of the front display and back, and this design element is expected to enhance the user experience.
New design of the S25 Ultra with the Galaxy XR in mind
One of the benefits of the asymmetric design is its enhanced grip. This new design of the Galaxy S25 Ultra is likely to be designed to be more comfortable in your hand, especially when acting as a remote controller for the Galaxy XR. As a past example, a similar design approach was taken on the Galaxy Note 5, and this same design element is likely to be reflected in the new generation of the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
The Galaxy S25 series is expected to connect with new spatial computing technologies, not just hardware upgrades. With the iPhone 16 series highlighting mixed reality technologies, we can’t wait to see how the Galaxy S25 series will show a differentiated competitiveness.
