A few weeks back, a report surfaced that Samsung plans to switch to Sony cameras for the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ in 2025. This got many people excited. After all, the company was finally moving on from the 50MP ISOCELL GN3 sensor it has been using since 2022. Sadly, the excitement has been cut short. The latest word is that Samsung has changed its mind and may equip its 2025 flagships with the four-year-old camera.
Galaxy S25 and S25+ may get a four-year-old 50MP camera
Samsung has been using the ISOCELL GN3 camera on its S-series flagship phones since last year. The 50MP unit is found on the base Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+ (the Ultra model has a 108MP primary rear camera). This year, the Korean firm equipped the smaller two Galaxy S23 models with the same 50MP camera, while upgrading the Ultra to the 200MP ISOCELL HP2 sensor.
Next year, the entire Galaxy S24 lineup will feature the same main camera at the back as their respective predecessor. This means the ISOCELL GN3 will be around for three generations of Samsung flagships. The Korean behemoth was expected to upgrade to a new camera in 2025 and noted tipster Revegnus recently got us all excited. They claimed that the company is considering using Sony cameras on the Galaxy S25 series.
While no other information was revealed, the source said both Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ will feature Sony sensors (an upgraded 200MP ISOCELL sensor for the Ultra). Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be happening. The same source has now revealed that Samsung no longer plans to equip its 2025 flagships with Sony cameras. Worse yet, it may keep the four-year-old ISOCELL GN3 for another generation.
Once again, the information is short in detail. However, Samsung has yet to launch the Galaxy S24 series, so 2025 models are still over a year away. The firm may not have finalized the specs for the Galaxy S25 series. It could be exploring various possibilities for the camera configuration of the phones. For the time being, we advise you to take Galaxy S25 leaks with caution. We will let you know when we have more information.
Galaxy S25 leaks should come more frequently following the S24 launch
Leaks about the Galaxy S25 series should come more frequently after Samsung unveils the Galaxy S24. While the company hasn’t officially announced the launch date for its 2024 flagship lineup, leaks have already revealed the necessary details. The new phones will debut on January 17. Rumors say pre-orders for the Galaxy S24 trip will open immediately after launch, with general sales beginning on January 30.
