What to know about the Samsung Galaxy S25

Samsung has just released its latest line of high-performance smartphones, the Galaxy S25 series. The Galaxy S25 series, including the highly anticipated Galaxy S25 Ultra, promises to redefine innovation.

From different models to display sizes, design features, and improvements, Samsung’s latest creation is impressive.

Let’s dive into everything we already know about the Samsung Galaxy S25.

Pricing and models

Just like Samsung has done with countless other devices over the years, there are three different models of the Galaxy S25. These include:

• The Samsung Galaxy S25
• The Samsung Galaxy S25+
• The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

Being top-of-the-line smartphones equipped with the latest technology, the Samsung Galaxy S25 series carries a price tag similar to previous flagship devices. Luckily, Samsung didn’t increase the S25’s cost over the previous S24 series. The new lineup’s pricing is as follows:

• Samsung Galaxy S25 – $799.99
• Samsung Galaxy S25+ – $999.99
• Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra – $1,299.99

The main reasons for the varying prices on Galaxy S25 models are the unique hardware, storage, and other options available. So, let’s explore the choices you have for this new series, starting with design and display sizes.

Design and display

In general, the Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup is lighter, sleeker, and thinner than the Galaxy S24 series. It is also slightly smaller in overall surface area but retains the same screen size as the previous year’s models.

The dimensions of the S25 lineup are:

• Samsung Galaxy S25 – 5.78” x 2.77” x 0.28”
• Samsung Galaxy S25+ – 23” x 2.98” x 0.28”
• Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra – 6.41” x 3.05” x 0.32”

As far as display sizes go, the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ feature:

• S25 – 6.2”
• S25+ – 6.7”

While the Galaxy S24 Ultra features a 6.8” display, the S25 Ultra pushes it up to 6.9”. The Galaxy S25 Ultra also includes rounded corners to set its design apart from the two other models in the lineup.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra also has a titanium body—a feature first introduced on last year’s Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Besides the makeup of the Galaxy S25’s body, Samsung has also upgraded its color lineup. This year, the base model S25s come in:

• Navy
• Icyblue
• Silver Shadow
• Mint

As for the S25+, you’ll find the shades:

• Navy
• Icyblue
• Silver Shadow
• Mint

And, for the leader of the lineup, the S25 Ultra, choose from:

• Titanium Black
• Titanium Silverblue
• Titanium Gray
• Titanium Whitesilver

The borders of all Galaxy S25 models are also thinner than the previous Galaxy series. That means a razor-thin line around the edges and more advanced components packed into a tighter, smaller space.

The design of Samsung’s latest lineup is critical to any tech fan, but it’s what’s on the inside that truly counts. So, what performance and hardware upgrades have they added to the Galaxy S25?

Performance and hardware

With the Galaxy S25 lineup comes the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor. This powerful chip is a definite step up from previous versions. It has the capability to support:

• Resolutions of up to 3120 X 1440 pixels
• Refresh rates as fast as 120Hz
• LPDDR5 RAM

Besides their new processors, the Galaxy S25 series also features upgrades in RAM and data storage potential. The latest lineup features:

• Galaxy S25 – 12 Gigabytes (GB) of RAM and 128/256GB of storage
• Galaxy S25+ – 12GB of RAM and 256/512GB of storage
• Galaxy S25 Ultra – 12GB of RAM and 256/512GB of storage

As in the past, most models have upgraded storage options for those who want to store large amounts of data on their devices. This is convenient if you’re constantly looking for ways to free up space on your Android.

Camera enhancements

There are up to five lenses on the most advanced model, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, including:

• 200MP (Megapixel) wide-angle lens with an ƒ/1.7 aperture for stunning, high-resolution selfies
• 50MP telephoto lens features a ƒ/3.4 aperture, with a 5x optical zoom, a 10x optical quality zoom, and a 100x space zoom for capturing distant subjects
• 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom for even more zoom options
• 50MP the new ultra-wide-angle lens with an ƒ/1.9 aperture for capturing incredible detail in Macro shots, as well as in wide scenes

The S25 Series brings a mix of hardware and software upgrades to the camera experience, with most improvements coming from the new image processing powered by the Samsung exclusive Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy. The Galaxy S25 Ultra has also upgraded the ultra-wide lens to 50MP, which is more than four times as powerful as the previous 12MP ultra-wide lens included on Galaxy S24s. This allows for a greater field of vision and enables 8K video recording for wide shots.

The aperture on the ultra-wide lens has also been increased, allowing up to 34% more light in with each capture. This improves resolution during dark shooting conditions, and boosts focus and dynamic range.

Battery life and charging

The Galaxy S25 lineup features the same battery capacity as the previous generation, including:

• Galaxy S25 – 4,000 milliampere-hours (mAH) with up to 74 hours of audio playback time and up to 25 minutes to charge up to 50%
• Galaxy S25+ – 4,900 mAh, up to 92 hours of audio playback time, and up to 25 minutes to reach 50% capacity
• Galaxy S25 Ultra – 5,000 mAh, 95 hours of audio playback time, and up to 25 minutes to charge to 50%
