Specifically, the dilemma this year is whether to get one of the Samsung Galaxy S24 handsets, or wait for the Galaxy S25 series, which we expect to launch in January or February next year.

Tech giants usually release new smartphones like clockwork every year, with Samsung kicking off the first quarter by introducing its new Galaxy S phones and Apple debuting its latest iPhones in September.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra may see a price hike due to increased production costs, potentially competing closely with iPhone 16 pricing.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series specs have appeared, partial ones, and they suggest we won't see many improved specs on the devices.
