We have tested the new Samsung Galaxy S25, three phones that stand out for their software and AI functions

by

January was not usually a month of big announcements and presentations, partly because of the MWC in Barcelona in February, an event that brings the world’s largest mobile manufacturers to Spain, and partly because of the numerous launches at the end of the year. above, like those of Apple, ALIVE and OPPO. However, Samsung has been presenting this month for a few years now. its most important terminalsthe Samsung Galaxy S. In this 2025 it is the turn of the three Samsung Galaxy S25 that has been shown at a world event in California that we have been able to attend. In it, the company has revealed the new features of these three terminals, which we have been able to test in a contact meeting in which we have confirmed that The biggest changes are not in the hardware, but in the software. It seems Samsung has followed the “If it works, don’t touch it” maxim, and sales of the S24 Series last year have been good enough that Samsung didn’t want to take any chances. However, we have improvements in performance, autonomy and in the larger model also in camera and ergonomics. We see the biggest changes in the softwareboth for the Android version and for the Samsung layer, One UI 7. But above all we see new features in the artificial intelligence functions. Samsung last year set a trend with Galaxy AI and this year it has not only maintained all those functions, but has also included other really useful ones, such as related to phone calls. Similar hardware The changes in the hardware of the new Galaxy S25 are few in the most economical models. The Galaxy S25 and S25+ only see performance and efficiency significantly modified. This is due to the processor leap, since now they implement the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elitea chipset that we were able to test thoroughly in the realme GT 7 Pro and that left us with our mouths open. Here he promises the same. Samsung has confirmed to us that there have been company engineers integrating capabilities into the custom Qualcomm chipset, hence the chipset is called Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy. In addition, all three models have a better vapor chamber with a larger size, 40% larger in the Ultra and 15% larger in the other two models. All versions They now start with 12 GB of RAM. There will be Wifi 7 in the Ultra and Wifi 6E in the other two models according to the company, which is strange because they all have the same processor. The UWB chip continues in the Ultra and Plus, like last year. We tested the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, S25 and S25+ Adrian Raya The characteristics of cameras, screen, battery, charging system or design are the same as what we saw in the Galaxy S24. The Galaxy S25 remains the company’s most compact high-end and the S25+ is still a version of the same with better Wifi, UWB chip and a larger screen and battery. As for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, we do see more changes compared to its predecessorbut not many either. It is clear that the technology is already mature and we are not going to see major modifications. The most striking thing is that now its corners are roundedand that is greatly appreciated. Ergonomics was one of the few things that could be improved about its predecessor and now it is practically perfect. The material is still titanium, and aluminum in the S25 and S25+. Colors of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Alvarez del Vayo The Free Android As if that were not enough, They have slimmed down the phone by more than 10 gramsin addition to very slightly decreasing some physical dimensions. The screen also grows, 0.1 inches, but not so much due to the design change as due to the rounding of the corners and the reduction of its frames, which are now even smaller. It maintains the much-praised anti-reflective coating on the S24 Ultra. The negative part of the changes is the S-Pen, which loses Bluetooth capabilities. But the biggest change, along with the processor, is in the ultra wide angle camera, which finally goes from 12 Mpx to 50 Mpx, which place it next to the cameras of competitors such as OPPO, Xiaomi or VIVO. Samsung was one of the few companies that had not yet made the leap to this type of sensors in this type of cameras. Of course, both the front and the main rear and the telephoto lens remain the same. The VIVO X200 Pro and OPPO X8 Pro could take away the position of best camera of the year. Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25+ Alvarez del Vayo The Free Android We also have better night video recording, noise reduction systems, the possibility of recording in 10-bit HDR and LOG recording for professionals. In addition, a virtual variable opening system has been included. Bet on software All three models use the same software, One UI 7, which runs on Android 15. Samsung wanted these phones to be the first to have this version of the system in the brandat least in a stable way, because so far Android 15 updates on current models are in testing phases. One UI 7 runs on Android 15, which has major design changes in the icons, notification buttons, notification management, etc. New notification system on a Samsung Galaxy S25 Alvarez del Vayo The Free Android One of the changes that will be most controversial is the company’s commitment to a separate system of notifications and shortcuts at the top of the screen. Until now, Samsung let One UI work like native Android, that is, showing the shortcuts at the top and notifications below. With One UI 7 we see that this changes, and if we slide on the left side of the screen we have the notifications and if we slide on the right we have the shortcuts. Luckily, It’s easy to reverse … Read more

end of anonymity on social networks and transparent algorithms

by

The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has just proposed in Davos to end anonymity on social networks, and that their owners be criminally responsible for the content published on them, according to the live coverage he is doing. The Country of the Forum. Why is it important. The proposal, which at the moment is nothing more than that, seeks to stop the toxic effect of networks on democracy, according to Sánchez. The context. Sánchez has accused the platform owners of wanting to “have political power by undermining our democratic institutions.” His plan includes three main measures: End anonymity on social networks. Force transparency of algorithms. Criminal liability for owners. Between the lines. The proposal is striking but not entirely new. A few months ago, the Spanish Prosecutor’s Office proposed ending anonymity to investigate hate crimesin a reissue of the Gag Law who has been with us for years. To a similar extent, Italy approved a law a few days ago which requires identification in order to publish restaurant reviews, with the intention of tackling the problem of fake reviews. The obstacles. The technical implementation, as has been discussed with each proposal similar to this one, represents a significant challenge. public networks, VPNs or the Tor browser These are the most common ways to bypass this type of identity checks. We have a similar precedent with the ‘pajaporte‘in Spain: its scope, very limitedis another example of the complexity of regulating identity on the Internet. In perspective. Although the political will seems clear, we do not know to what extent this measure is planned to be implemented as such, and to what extent it is little more than a probe balloon… although it is not the first time we have heard such an idea. “Just as the owner of a restaurant is responsible if his customers are poisoned, the owners must be responsible if their networks poison the public debate,” Sánchez argued in Davos. Go deeper. The proposal will reach the European Council, where Sánchez will seek for states to “regain control” so that social networks help democracy instead of endangering it. The initiative poses a dilemma between network regulation, privacy and freedom of expression. And what emerges from here will be what shapes the Internet of tomorrow.

This will be the aid for deported citizens

by

Among the large number of far-reaching decisions that are coming with the new administration and the presidency of Donald Trump in the United States, Mexico “gets” twoabove any other. On the one hand, the announced proposed tariffs and their possible scenarios. On the other hand, one where the human side becomes very important: deportations. If the “national emergency” declared by the magnate is not a bluff, Mexico already has the answer. The national emergency at the border. He communicated it as soon as he arrived. For Trump there is a national emergency on the southern border of the United States as part of a series of executive orders aimed at tightening immigration policies and stopping unauthorized crossings from Mexico. During his first appearance in the Oval Office after taking office, the executive signed an order authorizing the deployment of troops to assist the Department of Homeland Security in full control of the border. Even though illegal crossings have decreased in the last six months due to the previous administration’s restrictive policies, Trump has justified the measure by citing the “gravity and imminent threat” that migration represents irregular. But there is much more. End of birthright citizenship. In another controversial move, Trump signed an executive order to restrict birthright citizenshipdenying automatic nationality to the children of undocumented immigrants born on US soil. This measure, that challenges the 14th Amendment of the Constitutionalso faces immediate legal challenges from civil rights organizations such as the ACLU, which They have promised to take the case to court. The order would take effect 30 days after its implementation and directs federal agencies to suspend issuing documents to children born to parents without legal status. The reply: Mexico embraces you. Given the strict immigration policies announced by Trump, the Government of Claudia Sheinbaum has responded by implementing the operation called “Mexico Hugs You”a comprehensive strategy designed to receive and support repatriated Mexican migrants. The plan includes the implementation of protocols at border ports and airportsthe launch of an emergency application connected to the Information and Assistance Center for Mexican People (CIAM), as well as the incorporation of deportees into all the country’s welfare and public health programs. Let’s look at it in more detail. Access to social and health programs. Sheinbaum has assured that Repatriates will have immediate access to the programs of the Ministry of Welfare and the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS)providing them with tools for their reintegration. All These programs include transportation to their places of origin, access to health services for themselves and their families, and support in the processing of essential documents such as the Unique Population Registry Code (CURP), facilitating their reintegration into life in Mexico. Paisano Wellbeing Card: immediate financial support. As part of the immediate actions, deported migrants will receive the Bienestar Paisano Card, with an initial balance of 2,000 pesosintended to cover transportation costs and basic needs on their return to their communities. Furthermore, in the coming days the government will announce the requirements and procedure to obtain said cardwhich, there is no doubt, will represent crucial support for compatriots in their adaptation process. Welfare programs available for returnees. Migrants, in addition and as we said, will have the opportunity to integrate into the flagship social programs of the Mexican government, the same ones designed to offer economic, educational and social support to locals, in order to reintegrate them into society. Namely: Affiliation with the IMSS for humanitarian reasons. The approach is much broader in terms of aid, since, as part of the strategy, repatriated migrants and their families also They will be automatically affiliated with the IMSSguaranteeing access to the five insurances contemplated in the social security law. Here is included: Illness and maternity: Unrestricted medical, pharmaceutical and hospital care, in addition to payment for sick leave. Work risks: Medical and pharmaceutical coverage for work accidents, including disability pension. Disability and life: Disability pension for the insured and pension for the beneficiaries in the event of death. Retirement, unemployment in advanced age and old age: Retirement savings and pension for the insured upon reaching retirement age. Daycare and social benefits: Access to children’s homes for the care of minors and social welfare programs. Coordination with high migration states. It is the last of the legs that ties together the framework organized by the Mexican government. To guarantee effective reception, the Ministry of the Interior has established a special coordination with the states with the highest number of migrantsincluding Chiapas, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Puebla, Michoacán, Guanajuato, State of Mexico, Sinaloa, Jalisco and Veracruz. All of these states will have additional resources to support the return and reintegration of their compatriots. In summary, Mexico, in the figure of Sheinbaum, has reaffirmed its commitment to offering dignified and safe repatriation to deported Mexicans. after Trump’s wordsand it does so with a comprehensive strategy that ranges from immediate financial support to inclusion in wellness and health programs.

photographs and first details of the brand’s finest and most innovative mobile

Samsung’s big day is not over yet. Although the presentation of Unpacked 2025 has focused on Galaxy AI and the news of the new Galaxy S25, that is not all that has appeared throughout the event, and there are many details that we will be able to expand upon as the hours go by. For example, the biggest surprise of the event: the Galaxy S25 Edge. Of course, calling it a ‘surprise’ is perhaps exaggerating, because this is another part of the presentation that had already been leaked a few months ago; The part we didn’t expect is the name. Originally, this device was leaked as the Galaxy S25 Slim, a hint of what it was going to be like; but perhaps that is why Samsung has decided to choose the name Edge for its new model, which will complete the S25 range in the near future. The Galaxy S25 Edge is Samsung’s most innovative mobile phone in many years. To say that it is thin is simply an understatement, since reaching a lower thickness is not as easy as it seems, especially if we do not want sacrifices in the most important areas of the mobile. That is where Samsung’s innovation lies, reducing the thickness while offering an experience very similar or identical to that of the rest of the Galaxy S25 range. For example, the Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to use ALoP technologypresented last year, for the cameras; specifically, for the telephoto camera, which usually takes up a lot of space on the device due to the lenses necessary for optical zoom. Samsung’s solution places the lenses horizontally to avoid this problem without reducing the zoom level. The Galaxy Unpacked preview video showed off this new camera, confirming that it will use it. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Alvarez del Vayo The Free Android San Jose, California In the same way, the short video also focused for a moment on the battery of the Galaxy S25 Edge, which uses the new battery technology from Samsung. Instead of stacking the cells, this technology allows the area occupied by the battery inside the mobile to be expanded, to reduce the thickness without reducing capacity. Therefore, the Galaxy S25 Edge should last about the same as a Galaxy S25, or even a Galaxy S25 Ultra according to rumors. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Alvarez del Vayo The Free Android San Jose, California EL ESPAÑOL – El Androide Libre has been able to see some models of the Galaxy S25 Edge in person, and the first impressions are shocking. It is a very thin and light device, and surprisingly, it has its own design lines instead of using the same design as the rest of the Galaxy S25 range. Samsung The Free Android This original design is evident in the camera array, which has a completely new design. The big difference is the ‘island’ in which the lenses are housed, unlike the Galaxy S25, whose lenses come directly from the back of the devices. It is very possible that this island was necessary for the space occupied by the cameras, even with Samsung technology, and that makes this device easily recognizable. At the moment, Samsung has not given more details about this new device, both the ‘hardware’ used and the expected launch date; There are likely still several months of development left, considering there were no functional units in Unpacked.

The “Finnish trick” to insulate your house from the cold by hand sounds great. Has major leaks

by

We all know those videos that started on Facebook and reached TikTok of fixes or repairs in less than five minutes. Some were useful, others logic itself told you that it couldn’t be like that. In this line and with the arrival of the cold, ingenuity sharpens, last winter the trick was simple: Use a plastic film that adheres to the window frame and is sealed with tape, creating an additional layer of insulation. However, they have now changed it to a Finnish trick that uses bubble wrap. Finnish trick. The trick consists of using bubble wrap as insulation for windows during winter. By spraying water on the glass and placing the smooth side of the plastic, the bubbles act as a layer of air that improves thermal insulation, reducing cold entry and heat loss. It’s a cheap and easy solution, although visibility will be somewhat blurry. You can keep it all winter if placed correctly. But is it safe or recommended? A video taken from social networks must be taken with a grain of salt, because we do not know if it really works. In this case, the trick can offer A temporary, economical and easy solution to improve the insulation in windows. In this Finnish trick, the efficiency lies in the layer of air trapped inside the bubbles, which acts as a thermal insulator. However, this method is not a long-term option and can become damaged over time if not installed properly. Along those same lines, the use of plastic and poor installation can cause humidity between the plastic and the window, favoring the appearance of mold. In addition, you have to seal the material with tape, which can cause air leaks. Although the technique may be useful as a quick or temporary solution, it should not be considered a replacement for more effective and permanent methods of isolation. Alternatives without reforms. Among the different options, the most popular is the use of thermal insulation window films, which offer a more resistant barrier to the cold without compromising visibility. These easy-to-install films cling to windows and create an insulating layer of air, but unlike bubble wrap, they are thinner and less prone to damage. In the same line is the sealing of windows and doors with weather stripping or special tapes that prevent air leaks. For their part, without the need to carry out a renovation, there are thermal curtains, which can be a simple solution to keep the heat inside the rooms, since they are designed to block the cold outside and maintain the inside temperature. Invest money. Now if your goal is to continue improving your home, then install double-glazed windows, because they offer superior insulation and reduce heat loss and the entry of outside noise. And if you are going to continue investing, another alternative is gas condensing boilers, which can reduce energy consumption while reducing CO2 emissions. The impact of plastic. While the hacks circulating on TikTok, like this one from Finland, may seem like clever and inexpensive solutions to dealing with the cold, it’s important to consider their environmental impact. Excessive use of plastic, even in small quantities, contributes to the growing waste problem. For this reason, although these ideas may be effective in the short term, we must be responsible when using it and think about the long-term environmental impact.

Netflix is ​​going like a rocket but stops communicating its figures. The reason is simple: everything has a roof

by

Netflix has announced its financial results for the last quarter of 2024, and they leave us with two closely related news. First, in 2025 new price increase is coming in countries around the world such as the United States or Portugal. Second, the number of subscribers has increased dramaticallymuch more than expected in the company’s own projections, leaving the global total at 302 million customers. The numbers. More specifically: in the United States the price for the standard plan with ads goes from $6.99 per month to $7.99, and from $15.49 per month to $17.99 in the standard plan. These are just some examples justified by the 19 million new subscribers that came to the platform in the fourth quarter of 2024. 9.8 million new subscribers were expected, so the results have far exceeded expectations, generating profits of 10.2 billion of dollars. A little more. As Netflix explains, “as we continue to invest in programming and offer more value to our partners, we will occasionally ask them to pay a little more so we can reinvest and continue improving Netflix.” That is, they are going to raise prices whenever they can, having become de facto in one of the most expensive options on the streaming scene (and if we compare it with specific competitors like Prime Video, Netflix is ​​a much more expensive option). However, he also knows that these increases have a limit. Communication is over. Possibly, Netflix already knew this in 2024. It was then, in April, when he announced that the fourth quarter of 2024, for which we have just received the data, would be the last in which Netflix would talk about the number of subscribers. From now on, apart from the audience and viewing figures that it will continue to communicate a couple of times a year, it will provide other types of data (profits, growth, budget), and will only report key subscriber figures when they are crossed. That is to say, very publicizable round numbers: possibly we will not hear about the subject again until they cross the threshold of 400 or 500 million subscribers. The ceiling is hit. What does this decision mean? Possibly, Netflix has calculated that it cannot grow much more (hence the surprise that the platform itself recognized at an increase in subscribers greater than calculated). They will stop communicating those numbers so as not to give the impression that their growth is being hindered, especially since Netflix’s growth points in other directions. The main one is the economic one: Netflix can increase its profits, and hence the price increase, as well as the recent measures that we have seen in recent months: ending shared accounts, tiers with ads… the Netflix bubble is far from exploding, but it has to diversify. Video games and more. At this time he is developing strategies such as his still timid, but increasingly clear intention to enter the video game industrywhich show that Netflix has no choice but to see its growth slow down in its original business, but that does not prevent it from becoming a diverse and multi-tentacled monster. It has also already announced that it will slightly increase its budget for creating programs (from 17,000 to 18,000 million dollars), in something that also has a declaration of intent: it is not going to slow down in its race to become one of the main audiovisual producers. . Who can deny that he is achieving it? Thanks to ‘Emilia Pérez’ she will surely become one of the most nominated producers for this year’s Oscars.

Important day for Samsung, which has renewed its flagships. It has certainly done so with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, but the new ones are also highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25+. These two smartphones arrive with a very conservative bet and a clear message: if it works, don’t touch it. There are differences, yes, but perhaps not as many as we would have expected. The most notable concerns the inclusion of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, which will reinforce the manufacturer’s clear commitment to AI functions. Technical sheet of the Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25+ Samsung Galaxy S25 SAMSUNG GALAXY S25+ Dimensions and weight 146.9 x 70.5 x 7.2mm 162g 158.4 x 75.8 x 7.3mm 190g Screen 6.2 inches FHD+ 2,340 x 1,080 px Dynamic AMOLED 120Hz Vision Booster 6.7 inches QHD+ 3,120 x 1,440 px Dynamic AMOLED 120Hz Vision Booster processor Qualcomm Snapdragon® 8 Elite 3nm Qualcomm Snapdragon® 8 Elite 3nm memory 12GB 12GB storage 128/256/512GB 256/512GB battery 4,000 mAh Charge 25W 15W wireless charging Reversible charging 4,900 mAh Charge 45W 15W wireless charging Reversible charging operating system Android 15 OneUI 7 Android 17 OneUI 7 endurance IP68 certification Gorilla Glass IP68 certification Gorilla Glass rear cameras Main: 50MP, f/1.8, 85º, OIS Wide angle: 12MP, f/2.2, 120º Telephoto lens: 10MP, f/2.4, OIS, 3x Main: 50MP, f/1.8, 85º, OIS Wide angle: 12MP, f/2.2, 120º Telephoto lens: 10MP, f/2.4, OIS, 3x front camera 12MP, f/2.2, 80º 12MP, f/2.2, 80º CONNECTIVITY 5G LTE Wi-Fi 7 Bluetooth 5.4 eSIM 5G LTE Wi-Fi 7 Bluetooth 5.4 eSIM others USB C (USB 3.2) NFC Ultra Wide Band GPS/Glonass/Beidou/Galileo/GZSS USB C (USB 3.2) NFC Ultra Wide Band GPS/Glonass/Beidou/Galileo/GZSS price From 909 euros From 1,159 euros Samsung Galaxy S25+ 256GB Mobile Phone with AI, Galaxy AI, 12GB RAM, 50MP Camera, Dual SIM, IP68, 3 Year Manufacturer’s Warranty + 1 Extra Year, Navy Blue Color (Spanish Version) *Some prices may have changed since the last review Samsung Galaxy S25 256GB Mobile Phone with AI, Galaxy AI, 12GB RAM, 50MP Camera, Dual SIM, IP68, 3 Year Manufacturer’s Warranty + 1 Extra Year, Gray Color (Spanish Version) *Some prices may have changed since the last review Almost no changes in design, cameras and hardware We have few changes in the design of devices that are practically a carbon copy of their predecessors. The dimensions are almost identical, and there are only very slight changes except for the thickness: The Galaxy S25 and S25+ lose weight with its 7.2 and 7.3 mm thickness compared to the 7.6 and 7.7 mm respectively of the Galaxy S24 and S24+. This also affects the weight, which is also slightly reduced – and never better said – (162 compared to 167 g and 190 compared to 196). For the rest, we are looking at devices that will be very difficult to differentiate from their predecessors, although they do have a somewhat more rounded design for a better grip, says the manufacturer. The rear ones are also practically identical, and the camera module also remains as we already knew in last year’s editions. The most significant change is in the rings that surround and cover the sensors. They inherit that format from the company’s folding mobile phones, thus unifying that design language throughout their catalog. The sensors offered by these phones are exactly identical to last year’s. Thus, we have a 50 MP main sensor, a 12 MP ultra wide angle and a 10 MP telephoto lens, while the 12 MP sensor is also maintained on the front. It is especially striking that none of the sensors have undergone modifications, and although they already performed outstandingly last year, this is usually an important argument to encourage the purchase of new terminals. Not so this time. Where there are changes in the SoC of these phones, which make a clear leap by incorporating the new ones Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elitechips that promise performance increases of 40% in NPU, 37% in CPU and 30% in GPU compared to the previous version. That Exceptional power is vital to bringing AI features to life that Samsung wanted to be a hallmark of these terminals. To back it up we also have 12 GB of RAM across the entire range, when last year the Galaxy S24 started at 8 GB. One UI 7 and AI as a flag The new Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25+ will be governed by Android 15 and above all by One UI 7the customization layer that in this new version that comes with a lot of visual changes to the interfaceicons, notifications or animations, but it also comes with some new functions and above all with the total commitment to AI options. Thus, One UI 7 will allow another layer of privacy with the ‘AppLock‘: while Secure Folder creates a duplicate of an app that can only be accessed from this folder, App Lock completely blocks the application, ideal for protecting our banking apps or dating apps, for example. But It is the AI ​​functions that want to shine with its own light. For example, we have an updated version of Google’s Circle to Search, which now quickly recognizes phone numbers, emails, and URLs on the screen. Understanding natural language is also another advantage of the new AI integrated into these devices. Depending on the manufacturer, all you need to do is ask to easily find a specific photo in Gallery or adjust the size of screen fonts in Settings. For this we will have a physical button on the side to activate Geminiwhich now interacts with apps from Google and Samsung, but also some from third parties such as Spotify. The Now Brief feature offers daily tips and relevant information at all times. This AI is also applied when recording videos or taking photos. We have an Audio Eraser to simplify the elimination of unwanted noise in videos, isolating, for example, wind, music, nature or background noises.

New Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, technical sheet with features, price and specifications.

The day arrived. Samsung has just made official what are, to date, the most ambitious phones it has ever made. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 They are already a reality, and land as one of the biggest refinement exercises we have seen in the company. In Xataka we have already been able to have some first impressions with thembut if what you want is to know in detail the characteristics and technical specifications of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, the most ambitious of the three, this is your place.

There are three main changes in its appearance. The first of them has to do with the ring that covers the lenses. Now it is more reminiscent of the company’s folding mobile phones, unifying the design between its high-end terminals. Personally, I think it is a complete success, since it creates more brand consistency than ever. We noticed the second change as soon as we picked up the phone: the weight has been reduced quite a bit. This Galaxy S25 Ultra now weighs 218 grams, 15 less than the previous generation. This is very noticeable on a phone, and it is now much more pleasant to hold in one hand. It is also thinner, 15% more. This is also helped by last big change, related to its corners. Last year they were quite angular and ended up digging into the palm of the hand. They are now much softer and, without destroying the Ultra design essence, make the phone much more comfortable. Top-notch hardware and cutting-edge software As for the hardware, almost everything remains the same as last year. The big change comes in the update of the processor, which becomes the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite. For the rest, the memory, battery, connectivity configurations are maintained… The screen grows a little to 6.9 inches and reduces its edges, which allows the size not to increase. Maintains the anti-reflective treatment from last year and, in this model, it debuts Corning’s new Gorilla Glass Armor 2. Software is one of the reasons for being in Samsung’s high-end, which comes with the release of One UI 7. This is one of the biggest changes we have ever seen from Samsung, both in terms of design and functionality. As for the interface, everything has been refined and looks more modern. The icons of a good part of the system have been changed, and the appearance when we see it is (in my opinion) much better than that of the previous version. The seven years of updates are maintained, a field in which Samsung dominates with an iron fist. Of course, its ROM is based on Android 15so we are up to date. The big changes come in AI. Everything has been refined and improved, a lot. Gemini It becomes the default assistant, image generation is now much better (it is surprising how brutal the progress has been) and we have more than interesting options, such as call recording with automatic transcription. And, yes, this option will be available in Spain. Some of these functions now work locally and do not require an internet connection, making the AI ​​experience more private. Natural communication between applications, a contextual widget that will show us different information throughout the day, a screen selector to analyze its content and perform actions (create GIFs, screenshots, copy texts, etc.). Everything has been given a twist so that AI becomes another element of everyday life, and not an element to be used from time to time. To top it off, this device comes with 6 months of Gemini Advanced, a good gift from Samsung and Google to enjoy the best AI features. A camera section focused on video If we talk about the camera, the hardware is practically identical to what we saw last year. It is repeated with 200 megapixelsthe telephoto lens is once again double (x3 and x5), and the change is in the ultra wide angle, which goes from 12 to 50 megapixels. Despite this, there are important improvements, especially when it comes to video. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra you can finally record in LOG. He logarithmic format It allows recording without final processing, in a much flatter format. In terms of coloring the video in editing, it is much better and offers more professional results, as long as we know how to use it. The professional video functions also improve, now having implementation of zebra patterns to detect overexposure. Samsung has worked with Qualcomm to fine-tune the phone’s noise reduction engine, which works in real time and is capable of detecting moving subjects, static subjects and different changes in scenes.

The artificial intelligence (AI) has been taking center stage in the presentations of most consumer devices for several years. Today, once again, it has attracted our attention during the launch of the new family of smartphones Galaxy S25but, fortunately, it is not the only juicy thing that Samsung has taught us. In this article what really matters to us are the cameras that the Galaxy S25 Ultra, the S25+ and the S25and yes, they have very interesting features. As we are about to discover, the camera equipment of the Galaxy S25 is essentially identical to that of the Galaxy S24 last year, but between both families there are important differences in the software that are worth not overlooking. Somehow the new Galaxy S25 refine many of the sections in which the S24 had room for improvement, although we will have to wait until we can analyze them in depth to find out if they really live up to expectations.

The front unit is identical in all three terminals: it is supported by a 12-megapixel Dual Pixel sensor that works in tandem with an optic with an aperture value of f/2.2 and an 80-degree field of view. A priori these specifications are identical to those of comparable terminals in the family Galaxy S24. The Galaxy S25 Ultra incorporates a main camera equipped with a 200 megapixel sensor and f/1.7 optics Come on, now, with the rear cameras. The ultra-wide-angle unit of the S25 and S25+ models offers us a 12-megapixel sensor that works hand in hand with an optic with an aperture value of f/2.2 and a 120-degree field of view. This hardware is in theory very similar to what the developers proposed to us last year. Galaxy S24 and S24+ in its ultra wide angle camera. The S25 Ultra, for its part, incorporates a main camera equipped with a 200 megapixel sensor and an optic with an aperture value of f/1.7 (nothing to object to its brightness). The Galaxy S25 Ultra’s ultra-wide-angle camera is the only one that has changed when compared to the equivalent unit on the S24 Ultra. Samsung’s new flagship mobile relies on a 50 megapixel Dual Pixel sensor that works hand in hand with an optic with an aperture value of f/1.9. Its field of vision is 120 degrees. This camera on the Galaxy S24 Ultra incorporates a 12-megapixel sensor and optics with f/2.2 aperture. Its … Read more

Samsung briefly shows the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. Extreme thinness and “only” two cameras

by

When it seemed that everything was over after the celebration of Unpacked 2025, surprise. Samsung kept up its sleeve a small teaser of just a few seconds in which the future launch of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. The video showed only internal components and a video in which the construction of the device and its camera module was described in 3D, but there was no additional information about the device or its technical specifications. What was surprising in that teaser is an apparent commitment to thinness and the presence of a camera module different from that of its older brothers and in which We only found two sensors and not three. At Xataka we were able to attend the event live, and that allowed us to take a photo of the prototype that Samsung had placed on display. The design is certainly slim, but we’ll have to wait to find out more details about it. In Xataka | Samsung and Google have a great plan for augmented reality: develop glasses together
