How much more is the big question. In 2024, the regular Galaxy S24 started at $799, while the Galaxy S24 Ultra was $1,299. In an ideal world, this will remain static in 2025, but the price of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite is said to have jumped considerably, so it would be unsurprising to see a price rise for both.

We expect to see the Samsung Galaxy S25 make its debut around mid-January 2025, according to the rumors so far. And that has me thinking whether the tipped new phone will be a worthy upgrade over the Samsung Galaxy S24 or if it's more of the model to get for people running older Galaxy phones.

According to tipster Sanju Choudhary, the Galaxy S25 Slim could have a triple rear camera setup, as reported by TimesNow: In contrast, the iPhone 17 Air/Slim may feature a single 48MP main camera, potentially lacking ultrawide and telephoto lenses, MacObserver reports.
