Previously, I reported that Samsung might not launch the Galaxy S25 Plus variant. I apologize for the misleading information. This was based on leaks where the S25 and S25 Ultra appeared in the GSMA database, but the S25+ was missing. That has changed now.
Gizmo China has now found evidence of the Galaxy S25+ variant. For some reason, the mid variant surfaced a little later onto the radar leading to the confusion. That’s no longer the case. S25+ is alive and well on its way to launch next year.
So what happened?
Samsung typically adds devices to the IMEI database about six months before launch. This year, the S25 and S25 Ultra were listed, but the S25+ was not, leading to speculation.
The S25+ variant was finally added to the IMEI database yesterday with the model number SM-S936U as you can see below.
Ignore any rumors about the S25+ being canceled doing the rounds.
