What number of members will the Galaxy S25 household have when it launches in January? Consider it or not, this query has grow to be fairly prescient over the previous 24 hours. Yesterday a wild rumor claimed Samsung would quit on the S25+ and solely launch the S25 and S25 Extremely.
Mere hours later, nevertheless, this was refuted by one other supply which claims the corporate is actually nonetheless growing three S25 fashions as all of us anticipated it to all alongside. So RIP S25+, lengthy stay the S25+! It has been a rollercoaster journey for positive.
Let’s go into these claims now, lets? The rumor claiming the loss of life of the plus mannequin was based mostly on the truth that an IMEI database would not but include the S25+’s mannequin quantity, though in July final yr all three S24s have been seen in there.
That is a reasonably weak argument to make six months earlier than the cellphone’s theoretical launch – there’s nonetheless loads of time for it to be added to IMEI databases left and proper. Whereas this is not the best ‘proof’ of one thing like this taking place, not by an extended shot, Samsung giving up on the plus mannequin would really make sense, since it is the least offered of its flagship trio.
Anyway, one other supply claims the event goes alongside as standard with three fashions, codenamed F1, F2, and F3, aka the S25, S25+, and S25 Extremely, which have the mannequin numbers SM-S931, SM-S936, and SM-S938, respectively.
Who to consider? Nobody at this level. If Samsung has given up on the plus mannequin, we’ll hear far more about that within the coming weeks and months. If it hasn’t, then we’ll by no means hear about any of this ever once more.
