The device could feature a more dramatically curved display than previous Galaxy S models, possibly in a bid to differentiate the flagship visually and ergonomically. It’s likely to debut alongside the Galaxy S25 and S25+, and could feature Galaxy AI features, camera improvements, and a refined design inspired by the S24 Ultra.
