Samsung’s S25 and S25+: Wi-Fi 7 Support Announced

Breaking new ground in mobile connectivity, Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S25 series has just cleared a crucial regulatory hurdle.

Fresh documents from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) showcase some exciting upgrades for the tech giant's 2025 flagship lineup.

Key Connectivity Upgrades

The FCC certification reveals that Samsung is bringing Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) support to all three models in the S25 family. This marks a significant leap forward from the S24 series, which stayed with Wi-Fi 6E despite packing the powerful Exynos 2400 chip.

While Samsung has already dipped its toes into Wi-Fi 7 territory with devices like the Galaxy Fold Special Edition and Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, it's fascinating to see this cutting-edge standard becoming the norm across their flagship line. 

Interestingly, even recent releases like the Galaxy Fold 6 and Flip 6 didn't get Wi-Fi 7 support despite their Snapdragon processors.

Premium Features Still Draw Lines

Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology will remain a premium feature in the 2025 lineup. Only the S25+ and S25 Ultra models will sport UWB capabilities, maintaining Samsung's tiered approach to feature distribution.

For those curious about Wi-Fi 7's capabilities, it promises to deliver:

• Significantly faster speeds than Wi-Fi 6E

• Better handling of multiple connected devices

• Reduced latency for gaming and streaming

• Improved performance in congested networks

Market Impact

The integration of Wi-Fi 7 across the entire S25 series suggests Samsung's push to standardize next-gen connectivity in their 2025 flagship portfolio.

 This move could spark wider adoption of Wi-Fi 7 technology in the smartphone industry, potentially influencing competitors' roadmaps.

While pricing details remain under wraps, industry analysts expect these devices to shake up the premium smartphone segment, particularly in markets like India where advanced connectivity features increasingly influence buying decisions.
