All three models support a 120Hz refresh rate, providing a smoother and more refined visual experience for browsing, watching videos, or gaming. While high refresh rate screens are standard in today's flagship market, Samsung's continued investment in screen technology maintains its leading edge in color accuracy, brightness, and touch response speed.

Improved imaging capabilities are another highlight of the Galaxy S25 series, particularly in the Galaxy S25 Ultra. This flagship model adds a new 50MP ultra-wide lens, complementing the existing 200MP wide-angle lens and 50MP 5x telephoto lens (supporting 100x Space Zoom and 10x AI optical zoom) to form a powerful imaging system. The upgraded ultra-wide lens, custom-designed for the S25 Ultra, significantly enhances macro photography, allowing users to capture finer details in the microscopic world. The 200MP main camera ensures high-resolution images with excellent detail, while the 5x optical zoom and 100x Space Zoom provide powerful telephoto capabilities for capturing clear and sharp images even from a distance. In short, the Galaxy S25 Ultra's camera system reaches industry-leading levels in both performance and functionality.

Beyond the flagship S25 series, Samsung has more surprises in store. Recently leaked internal training materials reveal the upcoming Galaxy A06 5G, which will highlight the One UI 7.0 update and improvements in 5G connectivity and photography. This device features a 6.7-inch HD+ LCD screen with a 90Hz refresh rate, a 50MP main camera and a 2MP depth sensor, a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chip, and support for up to 1.5TB of expandable storage. A large 5000mAh battery with 25W charging ensures excellent battery life. Pre-installed with One UI 7.0 based on Android 15, making it Samsung's third device with this OS, it promises four major OS updates, offering long-term software support and updates. The estimated price is 12499 INR (approximately 1047 RMB) for the 4GB+64GB version, 13999 INR (approximately 1172 RMB) for the 4GB+128GB version, and 15499 INR (approximately 1298 RMB) for the 6GB+128GB version. The Galaxy A06 5G offers exceptional value, providing a new option for users seeking a high-value 5G phone.

Furthermore, rumors suggest Samsung will launch a new tri-fold phone, the Galaxy G Fold, expected in the third quarter of 2025. Sources suggest the "G" might refer to its unique G-shaped folding mechanism, possibly employing a dual inward-folding hinge design. Leaked renders show significant upgrades to the hinge and screen. The new hinge design will produce a different opening and closing sound, but its water resistance (IP rating) remains unclear. The inner screen uses a different flexible glass display than the Galaxy Z Fold7, resulting in thinner construction and a tested brightness of approximately 1900 nits (though Samsung might claim 2600 nits); the outer screen boasts a maximum brightness of 2600 nits and supports adaptive refresh rate and ProScaler technology. However, Samsung hasn't confirmed the specific release date and final price for this tri-fold phone; official announcements are pending.

In summary, Samsung has unveiled several highly anticipated phones in the first half of 2024. The Galaxy S25 series solidifies its position in the high-end market with its powerful performance, excellent imaging system, and premium screen technology; the Galaxy A06 5G expands Samsung's presence in the mid-to-low-end market with its competitive pricing. The upcoming Galaxy G Fold tri-fold phone represents Samsung's latest exploration in foldable screen technology and signals a future of intensified competition in the foldable phone market. Consumers can choose the Samsung phone that best suits their needs and budget.
