Samsung Galaxy S25

The Samsung Galaxy S25 is a series of high-end Android-based smartphones developed, manufactured, and marketed by Samsung Electronics as part of its flagship Galaxy S Series. They collectively serve as the successor to the Samsung Galaxy S24 series. The S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra models were announced on January 22, 2025, at the Galaxy Unpacked event in San Jose, California and were released on February 7, 2025. Additionally, a phone within the same lineup called the Galaxy S25 Edge was set to release later in 2025; however, further details about the phone are not yet known.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup includes 4 different models of phones, the Samsung Galaxy S25, Samsung Galaxy S25+, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. Although not much is known about the S25 Edge, early builds teased by Samsung on stage show a slimmer version of the normal S25. The inclusion of the S25 Edge marks a new addition to the line up of the S Series of smartphones and the return of Galaxy S Edge series since the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, which launched in 2016.
The S25 and S25+ share the same display size as their predecessors, whereas the top-end S25 Ultra has a slightly larger display. The flagship S25 features a flat 6.2 inch (155 mm) display. The S25+ has similar hardware, but with a larger 6.7 inch (168 mm) form factor. The S25 Ultra is slightly larger than its predecessor, with a screen size of 6.9 inches (175 mm). The S25 Ultra also features rounded corners as part of its design, making it align more with the rest of the Galaxy S Series of smartphones. The S25 lineup of smartphones is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which, unlike previous generations of the S Series, will be used in all S25 smartphones worldwide.
Both the Galaxy S25 and S25+ have a 50 MP wide sensor, a 10 MP 3x telephoto lens and a 12 MP ultrawide sensor.
On the other hand, the S25 Ultra has a 200 MP wide sensor, a 50 MP 5x periscope telephoto lens, a 10 MP 3x telephoto lens, and a 50 MP ultrawide sensor.
All 3 models of phones feature a 12 MP front-facing camera (also known as a selfie camera).
There were no improvements in battery capacity compared to the S24 predecessors.
Unlike previous generations, all Samsung Galaxy S25 phones launched with 12 GB of RAM. Similar to previous generations, the amount of RAM on the S25 series cannot be customized but buyers can customize the amount of storage available.
The Galaxy S25 phones were launched with Android 15 and Samsung One UI 7. Samsung has promised 7 years of OS and security updates to the S25 series of phones (meaning support may end in 2032).
The devices are additionally shipped with Galaxy AI, Samsung's advanced suite of artificial intelligence features. As a relatively new technology, it has received updated capabilities in the S25 series.
With the release of the S25 Ultra, Samsung opted to remove the Bluetooth functionality in its trademark S Pen, a feature added to the stylus with the Galaxy Note 9 in 2018. Samsung sought to remove the Bluetooth features as a cost-saving measure, claiming it was used by less than 1% of Galaxy users.
Among the functions lost in are remote camera control, air actions, and several in-app features for programs such as PowerPoint or the native Gallery app.
