For just a few years now, one of the best Android telephones have typically had the phrase “Extremely” within the title. For instance, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Extremely ($1419.99 at Amazon) is without doubt one of the greatest telephones you’ll be able to presently get. There have even been rumors that Apple might rebrand its “Professional Max” iPhone to an “Extremely” this yr, that means we might see an iPhone 16 Extremely.

Talking of the Galaxy S25 Extremely, that cellphone can also be anticipated to debut in January or February 2025. This could as soon as once more imply Xiaomi could be competing with Samsung for consumers able to dish out huge bucks for an “Extremely” cellphone. We’ll want to attend and see how that pans out for Xiaomi.
