Samsung has unveiled a glimpse of what’s coming in One UI 7, including a standout feature: AI-powered Sketch-to-Image generation. While this revelation adds to the excitement for the 2025 Galaxy lineup, Samsung’s flagship devices have already had a remarkable year.
Record-Breaking Galaxy S24 Series Sales
As of October 2024, the Galaxy S24 series has reached 31.85 million units sold, a 17% growth compared to the Galaxy S23 series within the same timeframe. Breaking down the numbers:
- Galaxy S24: 10.94 million units sold
- Galaxy S24 Plus: 6.27 million units sold
- Galaxy S24 Ultra: 14.65 million units sold
By comparison, last year’s Galaxy S23 series achieved 27.26 million units in total sales, with the S23 Ultra leading at 12.6 million units sold. This upward trajectory highlights growing consumer interest in Samsung’s flagship devices.
Foldable Phones See Steady Growth
Samsung’s foldable phones have also experienced a sales boost, with 4.28 million units sold this year, marking a 9% increase over last year’s 3.94 million units.
- Galaxy Z Fold 6: 1.81 million units
- Galaxy Z Flip 6: 2.47 million units
The early launch strategy appears to have been instrumental in this success.
What’s Next: Galaxy S25 Ultra
Samsung’s next flagship, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, is expected to launch in early February 2025, with pre-reservations rumored to start in January’s first week. The official unveiling is likely to take place on January 22 in the US.
Early leaks suggest that the Galaxy S25 series could see a price increase due to rising component costs, including the cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite processor built on TSMC’s 3nm node technology.
AI "Sketch-to-Image" in One UI 7
One of the most exciting developments in Samsung’s software ecosystem is the Sketch-to-Image feature in One UI 7. This advanced AI tool allows users to turn rough sketches into high-quality images directly on their devices. While details remain sparse, this feature could revolutionize creative workflows for artists, designers, and everyday users alike.
A Promising Start to 2025
With the success of the Galaxy S24 lineup and growing interest in foldable phones, Samsung is poised for a strong start in 2025. The integration of innovative features like AI-powered tools in One UI 7 adds even more anticipation for what’s to come.
Stay tuned for updates on the Galaxy S25 series, One UI 7, and Samsung’s next wave of cutting-edge technology.
