Samsung Galaxy S25 Series Unveiled in FCC Filing: Specs and Release Date Hints
The highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S25 series has made its way onto the FCC database, revealing key details about the global variants of the flagship phones. Notably absent from the listing are the US versions, which were previously spotted by eagle-eyed tech enthusiasts. The filings shed light on model numbers, connectivity features, and charging capabilities, painting a clearer picture of what to expect from these powerful devices.
Global Model Numbers
The FCC documents confirm that the global variants of the Galaxy S25 will bear the model numbers SM-S931B (S25), SM-S936B (S25 Plus), and SM-S938B (S25 Ultra). These models are destined for markets outside the United States, encompassing regions such as Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East.
Connectivity Features: S Pen Support and UWB
The filings solidify that the base Galaxy S25 will not include UWB (Ultra-Wideband) technology. This advanced connectivity feature, which enables precise indoor location tracking and data transfer, will be exclusive to the Galaxy S25 Plus and S25 Ultra, promising enhanced connectivity possibilities for these high-end models.
Consistent with earlier leaks, the S25 and S25+ were tested with the EP-TA800 charging adaptor and EP-DN980 cable, indicating compatibility with these accessories. Both models will support Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n/a/ac/ax/be), GNSS, DisplayPort, and NFC, bolstering their versatile communication capabilities.
As expected, the Galaxy S25 Ultra emerges as the flagship device, boasting S Pen support, a feature unique to this model within the lineup. The Ultra will also inherit the UWB feature, alongside Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n/a/ac/ax/be), GNSS, DisplayPort, and NFC connectivity, ensuring a premium and highly connected experience.
Additionally, the S25 Plus and S25 Ultra will support 45W fast charging, allowing for rapid juice-ups.
Extensive 5G Support
The document reveals the global S25 Ultra will support a wide range of 5G bands: n1/2/3/5/7/8/12/20/25/26/28/38/40/41/66/77/78. This extensive band compatibility ensures broader network access and potentially faster data speeds across various regions.
Galaxy S25 Ultra Release Date: Uncertainty Driven by Political Tensions
While the FCC filing offers valuable insights into the hardware specifications, Samsung has yet to officially announce a release date for the Galaxy S25 series. However, recent events in South Korea may cast a shadow over the expected launch timeline.
“South Korea is currently facing some political tension as the President recently imposed Martial Law (Emergency) and lifted it shortly after,” one source revealed.
Despite the political uncertainty, Korean media outlets previously reported that the Galaxy Unpacked event, where new Galaxy devices are typically unveiled, might take place in late January 2024. If plans proceed as anticipated, we could expect the S25 series to make its debut on January 22, with a retail release potentially following in early February.
