Gizmochina recently reported the discovery, confirming that the South Korean tech giant has started internal tests for the Galaxy S25 lineup. This early testing ensures that Samsung will launch the S25 series with minimal issues. Since the Galaxy Note 7 debacle, Samsung has significantly improved its quality control and security measures, rigorously testing its devices before release.

The Galaxy S25 series consists of three models: Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and the premium Galaxy S25 Ultra. These devices were also previously spotted in the IMEI database, revealing their model numbers: SM-S931, SM-S936, and SM-S938, respectively.
