Here’s the skinny:
- Rumors flew suggesting Samsung might ditch the Galaxy S25+ for a standard and Ultra model only.
- Fear not! Reliable sources confirm the S25+ is still in development.
- Hold your horses: Specs and details are scarce this early in the development cycle.
Galaxy S25 fans were thrown a curveball this week when rumors surfaced about Samsung potentially skipping the Plus model in their next flagship lineup. Thankfully, those fears can be put to rest. Trusted sources have confirmed to SamMobile that the Galaxy S25+ is alive and well, currently in development alongside its standard and Ultra counterparts.
The rumor originated from Android Headlines, who interpreted the absence of an S25+ in their IMEI database as a sign of cancellation. However, the lack of early information about an upcoming smartphone doesn’t necessarily equate to its demise.
Samsung’s Galaxy S25 development process has been underway for some time. Codenames F1, F2, and F3 designate the base, Plus, and Ultra models, respectively, with corresponding model numbers SM-S931, SM-S936, and SM-S938 lining up with expectations.
Concrete details about the Galaxy S25 series are scarce at this point. While intriguing rumors have emerged, it’s far too early in the development cycle to place full stock in them. Conversely, dismissing these rumors entirely, including the potential absence of an S25+, is also premature. The best approach for now is to maintain a healthy dose of skepticism until Samsung unveils its upcoming foldable phones, after which we might see a clearer picture of the S25 lineup.
