At last! The wait has been worth it: we already know what the new Samsung Galaxy S25 and how they remain compared to the previous generation. It’s been a journey of rumors, leaks and expectations, but they’re here. In this article we are going to break down the specifications of the base model, the Samsung Galaxy S25and we are going to compare it with its equal from the last generation, the Samsung Galaxy S24. Will it be worth taking the generational leap? samsung galaxy s24 samsung galaxy s25 Dimensions and weight 147 x 70.6 x 7.6mm 167g 146.9 x 70.5 x 7.2mm 162g screen 6.2 inches FHD+ (2,340 x 1,080p) Dynamic AMOLED 120Hz Vision Booster 6.2 inches FHD+ (2,340 x 1,080p) Dynamic AMOLED 120Hz Vision Booster processor Samsung Exynos 2400 4nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 3nm memory 8GB 12GB storage 128 | 256 | 512GB 128 | 256 | 512GB battery 4,000 mAh Charge 25W 15W wireless charging Reversible charging 4,000 mAh Charge 25W 15W wireless charging Reversible charging operating system Android 14 OneUI 6.1 Android 15 OneUI 7 front camera 12MP (f/2.2, 80º) 12MP (f/2.2, 80º) 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) connectivity 5G LTE WiFi 6E Bluetooth 5.3 eSIM 5G LTE Wi-Fi 7 Bluetooth 5.4 eSIM resistors IP68 certification Gorilla Glass IP68 certification Gorilla Glass 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 639 euros From 909 euros Samsung Galaxy S24 (128GB) *Some prices may have changed since the last review Samsung Galaxy S25 (128GB) *Some prices may have changed since the last review What changes The biggest leap at the hardware level is found in the processors: Samsung Exynos 2400 versus Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite More RAM and a good freedom when choosing storage Mobile phones with a capacity of 128 GB can fall very short in a matter of a short time, especially at a time when apps and games increasingly take up more storage. With the change of generation, Samsung has maintained the options to buy the versions of 128GB, 256GB and 512GB. Although we do see a change, in this case, in the RAM memory. In the same way that we have been seeing this year in other brands, the Samsung Galaxy S25 comes with a good extra in terms of RAM memory. The Samsung Galaxy S24 has 8 GB, while the new generation has opted to offer 12 GBsomething logical taking into account the rest of the terminal’s specifications, as well as the arrival of various functions such as Galaxy AI. A notable change in processors The biggest change between the two generations is seen in the processor. The Samsung Galaxy S24 features the Samsung Exynos 2400, a processor that, far from being the most powerful, offers good performance in the terminal; On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy S25 arrives with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, the most powerful processor that we can find in Android phones. This change makes sense considering everything that will arrive with the Samsung Galaxy S25. There are many brands that have made it clear on paper that Artificial Intelligence is an important point when launching their phones, but this requires a set of hardware to be able to offer good performance. In this case, the Qualcomm SoC promises a 40% performance increase on NPU, 37% on CPU and 30% on GPU with respect to the Exynos 2400. A newer version of the operating system, but… A year has passed between the two generations, so the Samsung Galaxy S25 arrives as standard with a more current version of the operating system; Android 15 facing Android 14which is what the Samsung Galaxy S24 is based on. Although, obviously, Both phones have (and will have) the latest version of the software. But this should not be a reason to change or choose one model or another. Let us remember that both phones are based on the idea of offering up to seven years of updatessix for the Galaxy S24 considering that it was launched a year ago. They still have many years to update, so in this sense, beyond the presence of Galaxy AI and what each specific terminal can offer, we are talking about two devices that comply perfectly. What doesn’t change A continuous screen Being continuous does not necessarily have to be something negative; When something works, why change it? Within the price range in which both terminals are found, the screens, which are practically identical, comply perfectly. Both phones integrate a panel 6.2 inch AMOLED which offers both Full HD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 1 to 120 Hz. Without seeing how the Samsung Galaxy S25 screen behaves, we can move on to our analysis of the Samsung Galaxy S24. He already mentioned it Ivan Linares“the screen is outstanding“. Samsung did its homework very well during the previous generation. The battery stays together with its charging, wireless charging and reversible charging At a time when brands have begun to launch their phones with batteries of up to 7,000 mAh, it is somewhat surprising that Samsung has been consistent with the 4,000 mAh battery that we can see in the Samsung Galaxy S25, and that we could also see in the Samsung Galaxy S24. But beyond the numbers, the key is in the efficiency of the processor. In the previous generation, autonomy was very good, so we hope it will be maintained (or improved) with the Galaxy S25. What is missing is an extra in other aspects related to the battery. The 25W fast charging It may be somewhat fair if we take into account that it is a figure that we no longer usually see in other brands. Fortunately, with the arrival of a new generation, both wireless charging and reversible charging have … Read more
