Guess what, is another big news rocking the Samsung group of devotees out there. This is the kind of speculation one might hear regarding the Galaxy S25 and S25+, the possible replacement of the trusted ISOCELL Sensors by Sony sensors instead. With a change of this kind, there will certainly be a transition period, but the Samsung S23 with Sony’s camera will be the first time since the S22 when Samsung has used only the company’s in-house technology for its flagship S series main camera.
The information about the leak originated from one of the tech insiders @Tech_Reve who confirmed a major camera redesign coming in the new position – requiring the S25 series for the year 2025. Why the potential switch? There are a few intriguing possibilities: There are a few intriguing possibilities:
- Sharper Shots: Sensors delivered by Sony were awarded the reputation for producing superb images, especially those taken in dim and cold weather conditions. This could become a life-changing innovation for those S25 users who always need an ‘after-dark shot’.
- Cost Considerations: It could also be that Samsung is pinning its hopes on milking the factory cost optimization through Sony offers. To this end, sometimes competition pushes the sides to evaluate the prospects for partnership.
- Feature Frenzy: The advantage of the new sensors by Sony for cameras might be that they’ll be able to do what ISOCELL sensors haven’t done yet. Think of, for instance, elements that will mark a new standard in the figure photography sphere!
Great news: The S25 and S25+ will no longer use the dreadful GN3 sensor; instead, they will feature Sony’s image sensor. I’m very happy! https://t.co/P6pxMEmyMl

Further fueling the rumor mill, South Korean technology site ETNews claims that Sony has semi-outsourced its order of sensor-related parts to Korean factories. They would possibly achieve this by allowing them to provide sensors to the leading smartphone corporation, Samsung.
While they are just rumors right now, they increase our thirst for exploration. Is it possible that the upcoming flagship model of Samsung i.e. the Galaxy S25 can bring a new era of Sony-fabricated sensors to Samsung devices? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: recent developments regarding future of the smartphone photography just have gotten a whole lot more interesting.
