Samsung Galaxy S25

A new Galaxy

The Samsung Galaxy S25 delivers meaningful hardware upgrades with the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, and a slimmer and lighter design. It doesn't look all that different from the S24, but the new colors and a ton of new Galaxy AI features are enough to make it worth a second look.

  • Bright AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate
  • New AI features for the camera app
  • One UI 7 out of the box
  • Seven years of software updates

For

  • Powerful hardware that's great at gaming
  • Versatile cameras at the back
  • Design is better to hold and use
  • Apple Intelligence has useful additions

Against
