features, price and technical sheet

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+

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.

The Galaxy S25 now has depth of field control with the so-called Virtual Aperture, and it will also be possible to record with cinematic quality thanks to the Galaxy Log format.
