Larger Sized S25 Base Model

Most leaks I'm seeing are suspecting the S25 base mode screen to be 6.36" vs the 6.2" of the S24. I prefer smaller devices so am a little put off if this holds true. The screen to body ratio might get slightly better but that won't completely account for the extra 0.16". I am seeing that the S25 might be thinner which may equate out to less weight (which i prefer as it can typically withstand drops better).

Other than the SD Elite chipset and 12GB RAM I'm not sure I'm seeing enough tangible benefits to upgrade from the S24 base.

Anyone else a little dismayed by the potential larger size or any other takes on the base S25?

*I realize we are all in wait/see mode for the actual specs on January 22nd but it's kind of fun to play the speculation game as we get closer to the unveiling.
