Samsung Galaxy S25 Spotted on Geekbench with 12GB RAM

Samsung will likely unveil the Galaxy S25 series in January. However, it’s unclear whether the launch will happen early or late in the month. As the release date approaches, benchmark tests have revealed that the base model will come with 12GB of RAM. This is a significant upgrade from the Galaxy S24’s 8GB entry-level version, although the S24 also offers a 12GB option.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Series Could Drop the 8 GB RAM Version

We’re hoping Samsung will drop the 8GB version for the S25, but we won’t know for certain until the official announcement. Still, the jump to 12GB of RAM in the base model signals that Samsung is prioritizing better performance right from the start.

There’s still some uncertainty about which processor the Galaxy S25 models will use. The big question is whether all versions will come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, or if there will be different processors for different markets. For now, the answer is unclear, as we’ve heard conflicting reports on this.

Gizchina News of the week

A recent benchmark test showed that a prototype of the Galaxy S25, set for release in Korea, uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite and runs on Android 15. However, it’s important to note that this model might not be the same as the ones in other regions.

While it’s still up in the air, there’s hope that all Galaxy S25 models will feature Qualcomm’s chip, following rumors that Samsung might move away from using its own Exynos chips in some regions. But we’ll have to wait for the official release to know for sure. In terms of design, the Galaxy S25 is expected to closely resemble its predecessor, according to the leaked renders above. The overall look should remain familiar, with only minor tweaks, if any, to the design elements.

We expect more details to keep popping out in the next weeks. After all, it has been hard to keep new Galaxy smartphones a secret in recent years.
