The Samsung Galaxy S25 is a series of high-end Android-based smartphones developed and marketed by Samsung Electronics as part of its flagship Galaxy S Series.[6][7][8] 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.[9]

An additional model in the series, the S25 Edge, was launched at Galaxy Unpacked on May 13, 2025, and was later released on May 30.[10][11] At 5.8 mm (0.23 in), the S25 Edge is the thinnest Galaxy S device ever produced and is also thinner than Samsung's previous Galaxy A8 (2015) and U100 (2007).[12][13]

Lineup

[edit]

The Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup includes four models: Samsung Galaxy S25, Samsung Galaxy S25+, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. The inclusion of the latter marked the return of the Edge name which was last seen on the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, launched in 2016. It is also the first S series phone to have a dual rear camera setup since the Samsung Galaxy S9.

The Galaxy S25 features a flat 6.2 in (160 mm) display and a compact form factor. The Galaxy S25+ offers similar internal hardware with a larger 6.7 in (170 mm) display. The Galaxy S25 Ultra includes a 6.9 in (180 mm) display, an enlarged frame compared to its predecessor, and rounded corners that align more closely with the design language of the Galaxy S series.[14][15] The Galaxy S25 Edge, a new addition to the series, also has a 6.7-inch display and is the thinnest model in the lineup, at 5.85 mm thick.[16][17][18]

While the S25 and S25+ maintain similar dimensions to their S24 counterparts, the S25 Ultra introduces subtle design refinements, and the S25 Edge differentiates itself by featuring a significantly thinner chassis.[19]

All models are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which, unlike previous Galaxy S generations that varied by region, is used uniformly across all global variants.[1][2][3][4][20] The Galaxy S25, S25+, S25 Ultra and S25 Edge all offer the same eSIM functionality within each respective region. International variants support dual Nano-SIM slots along with dual eSIM profiles. U.S. models include a single Nano-SIM slot with dual eSIM support, while Chinese versions retain the traditional dual Nano-SIM configuration without eSIM capability.[21]

Design

[edit]
The colors of the S25 Ultra: Titanium Silverblue, Black, Whitesilver and Gray
Galaxy S25 Edge

The S25 and S25+ smartphones have an aluminium body and a glass back, similar to the design of their predecessors. Both the S25 and S25+ use Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for both the front display and rear glass panel.[22]

They come in four standard colours: Icy Blue, Mint, Navy and Silver Shadow, with an additional three colours being available only through Samsung's online website: Pink Gold, Coral Red and Blue Black.[23][24]

The S25 Ultra has a titanium body and a glass back, similar to the S24 Ultra. However, the S25 Ultra features rounded corners, departing from the S24 Ultra's squared corners. Additionally, the S25 Ultra uses Gorilla Glass Armor 2 for its front display and rear panel for improved durability and reduced glare.

The S25 Ultra comes in four standard colours: Titanium Silver Blue, Titanium Black, Titanium White Silver and Titanium Grey, as well as three additional colours that are only available through Samsung's online website: Titanium Jade Green, Titanium Jet Black and Titanium Pink Gold.[25]

The S25 Edge features a titanium body and a flat display design, similar to the S25 and S25+, but with a slimmer profile. It uses Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on the front for enhanced scratch resistance and reduced reflectivity. The S25 Edge is available in three colours: Titanium Icy Blue, Titanium Silver, and Titanium Jet Black.[26][27][28]

Display

[edit]

The S25 series of phones use a "Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X" display with HDR10+ support, a display that can go up to 120 Hz refresh rate and 2600 nits peak brightness. Additionally, the S25 and S25+ phones feature a Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 as protection for the display,[1][2] whereas the S25 Ultra uses a Corning Gorilla Glass Armor 2 as its protection for the display.[4] All phones in the series feature an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor. The S25 Edge also features a "Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X" panel with HDR10+ and 120 Hz refresh rate support, matching the peak brightness of 2600 nits. It uses Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for screen protection, similar to the base S25 and S25+.[29][30][31]

Batteries

[edit]

The Galaxy S25 models contain similarly sized batteries to the previous S24 models, with the exception of the S25 Edge. Due to its decreased thickness, it has a smaller battery than the S25+ despite having a nearly identical height and width. The S25 and S25 Edge support wired charging at up to 25 W while the S25+ and S25 Ultra have faster 45 W charging. All four support Qi inductive charging up to 15 W, and can charge other Qi-compatible devices wirelessly using battery power.

Memory and storage

[edit]

Unlike previous generations, all Samsung Galaxy S25 models launched with 12 GB of RAM. The S25 starts at 128 GB of storage, while the other three models start at 256 GB of storage. The S25 Edge also comes standard with 12 GB of RAM and does not offer configurable RAM options.

However, in South Korea and Greater China (Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan) markets, a 16 GB RAM option exists for certain Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra models. For South Korean models, Titanium Jetblack phones with 1 TB of storage come with 16 GB of RAM. For Greater China, regardless of color choice, the 1 TB storage option comes with 16 GB of RAM.

Software

[edit]
One UI 7 on the S25 Ultra

The Galaxy S25 phones were launched with Android 15 and 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).[37]

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.[38]

Reception

[edit]

S Pen controversy

[edit]

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.[39]

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.[40]
