The latest report that has just come in now shares a different perspective on the processor housed in the lineup. According to the post by tipster heyitsyogesh on the popular X platform, all three smartphones in the Samsung Galaxy S25 series will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. This is in line with a statement by another noteworthy tipster Ice Universe on the same platform that the handsets for the home and international markets will incorporate the same processor.

The lineup will have larger displays and rounded corners when compared to their predecessors. The vanilla and Plus variants could house the same camera setup as their Galaxy S24 counterparts while the Ultra variant could have an upgrade for the secondary telephoto and ultra-wide lenses with each snapper having a resolution of 50 MP.
