Galaxy S25 Special Edition Leaks
Samsung is gearing up for another Galaxy Unpacked event in early 2025 to unveil the Galaxy S25 lineup, including a highly anticipated Special Edition model. Reports suggest that this limited production handset will be a coveted addition to the Galaxy family, with details indicating a production run of three million units, making it a rare find compared to the standard models.
Foldables Imperfect Future
Despite high hopes for foldable smartphones, industry experts note that adoption rates have not met initial expectations. Samsung’s ambitious goal of having 50% of its flagship devices as foldables by 2025 seems unlikely, as candybar phones continue to dominate the market. While shipments of foldables are expected to reach nearly 18 million units in 2024, they still represent less than 2% of the total smartphone market.
Dimensity’s Regular Core Moment
Mediatek is shaking up the chipset market with the launch of the Dimensity 8400 processor, posing a challenge to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chipsets. The Dimensity 8400 boasts 8 regular cores, promising a significant boost in multi-core performance and reduced power consumption compared to its predecessor. This new entrant is set to offer consumers more choice in the competitive smartphone landscape.

And Finally…
Looking ahead to 2025, smartphone trends are expected to focus on improved battery life, with the wider adoption of silicon batteries leading the charge.

As the industry continues to innovate, consumers can look forward to longer-lasting smartphones with enhanced performance capabilities.
