Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series was expected to get a hefty software update in May 2025, but a leak from tipster Alfaturk suggests the big changes have been postponed. Instead, the upcoming firmware might only bring the May 2025 security patch, leaving fans waiting for the promised camera and performance boosts.
Early rumors hinted at camera enhancements for sharper photos and better videos, alongside system optimizations. However, Alfaturk’s leak, shared on X, reveals Samsung has pulled back, with the May release now likely limited to a security patch.
The new firmware build swaps “U2” and “DB” for “S3” and “DA” in its bootloader and minor version, signaling a minor update, not a feature-packed one. While stock apps like the system launcher and camera might still get minor refreshes, major upgrades are off the table for now due to unspecified issues during testing. Samsung is known for tweaking updates until they’re rock-solid, so this delay could be a quality control move.
X posts show mixed reactions—some fans are bummed, others trust Samsung’s polishing the update for a later drop, possibly June or July. The S25’s 6.2-6.9-inch AMOLED displays and 200MP cameras (on Ultra) already shine, but enhancements could have pushed Galaxy AI features like Photo Assist further. For now, S25 owners can expect a leaner update via Settings > Software Update, keeping their devices secure but not transformative. Samsung’s next move will decide if this delay pays off with a bigger, better update soon.
For those considering an upgrade but unsure whether to wait for the S26 series, it’s worth noting that the successor may use Exynos chips in most markets—making the S25 likely the safer bet.
