The main differences between the Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra

Samsung just presented the new Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultrawith very interesting news. It is true that the changes with respect to the previous year’s models are not that many, but even so, they represent another step forward in the evolution of the brand’s flagships.

At the design level, the most important modifications are seen in the Galaxy S25 Ultra. This version has abandoned its square aesthetic to make way for more rounded corners. While the S25 and S25+ are clearly continuous bets when putting them face to face with their predecessors.

In this article we are going to take the opportunity to review the main differences that exist among the three members of the Samsung Galaxy S25 family. Although there are several things in common throughout the range, not only in specific hardware issues, but especially at the level of software features, we believe it is important to place special emphasis on the elements that distinguish these mobile phones from each other.

The main differences between the Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra

The first difference, and the most logical, has to do with the size of the screens and the general dimensions of the devices. The three Galaxy S25 come equipped with 2X AMOLED panels; that of the base version is 6.2 inches with FHD+ resolutionwhile that of the S25+ is 6.7” with QHD+ resolution. On the Galaxy S25 Ultra, meanwhile, the screen is 6.9 inchesalso with resolution QHD+. It is worth noting that in all cases an adapted refresh rate of 1 to 120 Hz, Vision Booster and adaptive color tone are offered.

If we focus on the general size and weight of the new Samsung smartphones, the breakdown is as follows:

• Galaxy S25: 146.9 x 70.5 x 7.2 millimeters/162 grams;
• Galaxy S25+: 158.4 x 75.8 x 7.3 millimeters/190 grams;
• Galaxy S25 Ultra: 162.8 x 77.6 x 8.2 millimeters/218 grams.

With regards to the camerasthe Galaxy S25 and S25+ feature exactly the same front and rear sensor configuration. Of course, these differ from those implemented in the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which is the top of the range of Samsung’s brand new family of models. Below is the comparison:

Storage, RAM and battery

The new Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra are powered by the chip Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxyfrom Qualcomm. The three models also come equipped with 12 GB of RAM, but they differ in the number of memory and storage configurations available.

The standard Galaxy S25 will be offered in three variants: 12 + 128 GB, 12 + 256 GB and 12 + 512 GB. For its part, the S25+ will be available only in versions with 12 + 256 GB and 12 + 512 GB. While the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be the only one with a 12 GB RAM + 1 TB storageand will also be available in intermediate versions with the same amount of memory, but with 256 or 512 GB of internal space.

In the batteries section, also there are logical differences among the three new Samsung phones. The Galaxy S25 arrives with the smallest, which is 4,000 mAh and supports wired fast charging up to 25 watts, wireless charging and PowerShare. In the case of the S25+, we find a much more generous battery of 4,900 mAhwhich supports fast wired charging of up to 45 watts, and also has support for wireless charging and PowerShare.

For the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Samsung did not want to give surprises either. The smartphone arrives with a battery of 5,000 mAh which supports fast wired charging of up to 45 watts. It also integrates PowerShare and recharges wirelessly, as it could not be otherwise.

Batteries are the segment in which Samsung has unfortunately stagnated in recent years; especially when talking about their flagships. Especially if we consider that other manufacturers have already begun to adopt accumulators with higher capacities and much higher charging powers. Here it is evident that the Koreans are falling very short.

The Galaxy S25 are a continuous bet

As we indicated at the beginning, the changes that come with the Samsung Galaxy S25 are much less drastic than those we saw in previous years, and the same applies to the differences between the three models.

When reviewing the specification tables, it quickly becomes evident that there are more similarities than differences in key elements. Same chip, same RAM, same connectivity options (WiFi 7, 5G, Bluetooth 5.4, etc.), same water resistance rating (IP68), and so on…

We must not forget that this year Samsung has opted to bet its most important chips on the software experience with Android 15/One UI 7 and its artificial intelligence functions. That is where it seeks to compensate for the lack of brilliant modifications at the hardware level.

The Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra can now be reserved and will be available from February 7. The first two are offered in grey, navy, blue and mint; while the Ultra version has variants in blue titanium, gray titanium, silver titanium and black titanium.
