Samsung Galaxy S Series has already paid significant rule in the tech community, with enthusiasts eagerly awaiting its release. However, as rumors and leaks circulate, it's clear that the Samsung Galaxy S25 may skip some major features, leaving many wondering what the next-generation flagship will truly offer. Based on current leaked rumors and industry speculation, this post will explore 6 biggest features that Galaxy S25 is rumored to skip.

A flagship is expected to deliver the best of the best, and the Galaxy S25 will likely carry that premium price tag. However, rumors hint at six significant features missing. Let's delve into the features of the vanilla S25 and explore their real-world impact.

Here are the 6 major features that the Galaxy S25 is rumored to skip:

1. Display Technology

• S25 Sticking with the Same Old Screen to OLED with M13 material set

rumor mill suggests the S25 might stick with the same display tech as the S24. Don't get me wrong, Samsung makes fantastic screens, but where's the innovation? We're craving something fresh!

while we discuss other competitors in the Tech market Apple and Google equipped their latest flagships with M14 OLED. The new display technology offers better efficiency, vibrant colors, and higher brightness.

    2. Outdated Memory

• 128GB Base Storage in 2025? Seriously?

Upgrading in the history of technology App size, high-res photos, and 4K videos, the rumor of a 128GB base storage option feels downright stingy. It's 2024 (almost 2025!), and many competitors are offering 256GB as the starting point. Are we going to be managing storage on a flagship phone?

The Galaxy S25 base model will still have 12Gb RAM and 256Gb storage, but 512Gb and 1Tb models could have 16Gb RAM.

Meanwhile, Samsung is lacking 12Gb RAM on the other two models. Things are weird with the vanilla S25 variant, which will have 128Gb storage on its base model.

It leaves a bad impact on Tect Ethuastic no higher memory options for consumers who require over 200 GB of space. The base should have 256Gb and 512Gb should be an option, like the S25 Plus.

3. Primary camera

• Galaxy S25 is rumored to have the same primary camera as the S22

The S25 is rumored to use the same 50MP main camera sensor that's been in use since the S22.

While the sensor is decent, it's not exactly cutting-edge anymore. You might not see the same level of detail, low-light performance, or overall image quality compared to phones with newer sensors. Are you a photography enthusiast? This could be a major disappointment. While software improvements (like Galaxy AI) can help, they can't fully compensate for outdated hardware.

The 50MP sensor offers decent photography and videography experience. Meanwhile, Samsung used a modern image sensor like Apple and Chinese rivals.

4. Zoom camera

• 3x optical zoom camera while 10MP resolution isn’t fit for Flagship phones.

The Zoom camera is also rumored to be a bit of a letdown. While a 3x optical zoom is okay, the rumored 10MP resolution feels low for a flagship device. We're used to seeing higher resolutions that allow for more detailed zoomed-in shots.

Directly comparing the S25 rumored zoom capabilities with Apple's iPhone 16 Pro to highlight the potential difference. why these camera choices matter to the user, such as the potential for lower detail in zoomed shots or the benefit of a better ultrawide for landscapes.

5. Fast charging

• not support 45W fast charging as compared to Plus, and Ultra.

The rumor that the S25 vanilla might not even support 45W fast charging is disappointing. It means longer charging times compared to the competition. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S25 Plus and S25 Ultra will likely support up to 45W fast charging

On the other hand Galaxy S21 series (including Ultra) supports fast charging up to 25W. Samsung has boosted the speed to 45W, which starts in 2022 models but kept it limited to Plus and Ultra models.

6. Skip of UWB Love

• Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology missing

Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology is becoming increasingly common, enabling features like precise location tracking and digital car keys. The rumor that the S25 might skip UWB is a bit of a head-scratcher. It feels like a missed opportunity.

So, What Does This All Mean

It's important to remember that these are just rumors that Galaxy S25 Vanilla misses. Meanwhile, Snapdragon 8 Elite processors, Galaxy AI, and Gemini Nano are quite interesting. Things can change drastically before the official release. However, if these rumors turn out to be true, the S25 might not be the groundbreaking upgrade we were hoping for. It could feel more like an incremental update rather than a true leap forward.

Samsung announced the Galaxy S25 series in late January next year. Pre-reservation should start by mid-January and the official release is expected to be kicked off in early February.
