Samsung has its biggest competitor at home. His future with chips depends on his rivalry with SK Hynix

by

South Korean semiconductor manufacturer SK Hynix is ​​on a good streak. The memory market is dominated by the Samsung subsidiary specialized in the production of integrated circuits with an approximate share of 40%while SK Hynix defends a very worthy 29%. Behind both is the American Micron Technology, with 26% approximately. These are, precisely, the three companies that control the juicy HBM memory market (High Bandwidth Memory) that work hand in hand with GPUs to artificial intelligence (AI). In fact, SK Hynix is ​​NVIDIA’s main memory supplier. And having the company led by Jensen Huang as a client helps. It helps a lot. So much so that according to SCMPSK Hynix has surpassed Samsung in profits. And it has done so, precisely, thanks to its high-performance memories. However, it is not all good news. SK Hynix has predicted that sales of memory chips for consumer devices, such as smartphones or computers, will fall during 2025. “This year the memory chip market will be subject to great uncertainty because trade protectionism is growing and geopolitical risks are increasing. At the same time, PC and mobile phone companies are adjusting their inventories,” Kim Woo-hyun statedCFO of SK Hynix. This situation anticipates a complicated 2025 for both Samsung and SK Hynix, although the latter, as we have seen, has a very positive inertia in the HBM memory market. Together against China The rivalry between Samsung and SK Hynix in the memory market is a fact, but, in reality, the main threat to these South Korean companies comes from China. The memory integrated circuits industry has enormous growth potential precisely due to the high demand for these chips that has led to the proliferation of data centers for AI applications. And, as expected, Chinese semiconductor manufacturers do not want to be left out of it. The Chinese CXMT has deployed a very aggressive pricing policy to compete in the memory market Changxin Memory Technologies (CXMT) is one of the Chinese companies specialized in the production of memory chips, and, like other companies in the country led by Xi Jinping, it has chosen to compete in this market so attractive unfolding a very aggressive pricing policy. Furthermore, CXMT in particular has increased its DRAM chip production capacity almost five times over the last four years, allowing it to increase its global market share to a very worthy 9%. This growth has placed this company just behind Micron if we stick to its market share, making it already the fourth largest memory chip manufacturer on the planet. To further complicate matters, the Chinese Government is financially supporting its manufacturers of this type of semiconductor in response to the sanctions deployed by the US and its allies, so the competitiveness of Chinese companies is on the rise.

Samsung confirms the launch of its first triple folding mobile

by

The new Galaxy S25, S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra were the clear protagonists of the Unpacked of Samsung held on January 22, but during the presentation event, the company announced something really important that has gone very unnoticed among attendees; the launch of its first triple folding smartphone. As the portal has revealed SamMobileduring the presentation event, the company took time to talk about their plans for mixed reality (Xr) products and technologiesamong which a visor similar to the Apple Vision Pro developed jointly with Qualcomm or smart glasses very similar to Meta’s Ray-Ban stood out. At that time, Samsung displayed a timeline on the screen reflecting the launch of these products. In this, its “book type” folding, the Galazy Z Fold, was also shown, as well as the foldable with trip screenyou. The drawing of this device is right in front of the mixed reality viewer that it plans to launch with Qualcomm, suggesting that the company could announce it during the third quarter of this year. What will Samsung’s triple folding be like? At the moment, details about Samsung’s triple folding smartphone are unknown. The device is expected to be larger than the Galazy Z Fold, as it would have a 9.9 or 10 inch screen when fully deployed. That is, it would go from being a smartphone to practically a tablet. Samsung’s triple folding is very reminiscent of the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Designa triple folding announced a few months ago. This device has an extendable screen in three parts that reaches a size of 10 inches. It is also possible to choose between different folds. Users can choose to use an external screen larger than 6 inches, as if it were a traditional smartphone. Or, andxextend a single part to have a “book type” folding. If you prefer, it is also possible to extend the terminal once again to use a tablet mode with a fuller screen. We must keep in mind, however, that we are talking about a completely new format, so it is likely that, if it finally goes on sale, it will come out in limited units and at a somewhat higher price than usual.

All colors of the Samsung Galaxy S25 available in Spain

by

During yesterday afternoon we talked at length about the Samsung Galaxy S25. We tell you What did we think of our first impressions?how their cameras are goodthe craziest accessories that has launched the brand and also about a very important technology of which Samsung has completely forgotten. And, now that all the technical information is on the table, it’s time to talk about decisions, purchases, versions and colors. Samsung has not only renewed the design and cameras of its mobile phones, it has also given a twist to the color palette available in Spain. And, as it has been doing for a couple of generations, the company has launched four colors for the general market and three others that can only be buy exclusively in the Samsung.com online store. In the base series, which makes up the Galaxy S25 and S25+, Samsung has removed three colors from last year: yellow, orange and violet. In addition, it has redefined several tones such as gray or blues to make them slightly different. In the most advanced model, the Galaxy S25 Ultrapractically the same thing happens except for a couple of tones. The colors of the Samsung Galaxy S25 From this moment on, the Samsung Galaxy S25 can be book on the company’s website with deliveries starting February 4so we have taken a tour of the store to see all the official colors in which you will be able to choose your next mobile. First, let’s go with the Galaxy S25 and S25+, which share exactly the same color palette in Spain. Blue Navy blue Grey Mint Blue Black (Online Exclusive) Coral Red (Online Exclusive) Rose Gold (Online Exclusive) Blue and Navy Blue Mint and Gray Blue Black, Coral Red and Rose Gold We continue with the jewel in the crown, the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Plus, not only will you receive it a little earlier, there are also various promotions on almost every version. Samsung, for example, has put the 512 GB Galaxy S25 Ultra at the same price as the 256 GB one, and the same with the 1 TB version. In fact, it is a strategy that has also been repeated with the Galaxy S25 and S25+.

Samsung Galaxy S25 vs Galaxy S24. Everything that has changed (and what has not) between the two generations

by

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

Spain does not appear in the leaked list of the Galaxy S25 slim

by

Last week the first rendered images of the thinnest flagship mobile from Samsung, the Galaxy S25 Slim. A smartphone that is part of the Galaxy S25 family that will be announced by the Korean company in two days. Now the entire list of countries in which Samsung wants to distribute its new flagship has been leaked. Right in the promotional image of Galaxy Unpacked a fourth device appeared from the family to everyone’s surprise, although for months it had been leaked that Samsung was working on the launch of a slim mobile phone that could compete against Apple’s own, the iPhone 17 Air. Interest in this type of device is increasing because they are capable of offering part of the performance of the best models, but with a very special detail the design: a thinner thickness than what you are used to. This bet seems definitive on the part of Samsung as well as Apple; folding mobile phones too They are using this very special point to attract users already tired of typical smartphones. What Samsung has done with the Galaxy S25 is move its launch window to the month of May to start selling it in a large number of countries. Just 39 as has been known a few hours ago since Phone Arenawhich has also shared all those countries in which Spain does not appear anywhere. The outlet’s exclusive report cites a source with a long history of leaks, and claims that the Samsung’s thinnest flagship phone It will be available in 39 countries. Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim SmartPrix The Free Android There is an important detail, and although Spain does not appear on the list, the source claims that the list it would not be completely completebut it does suggest that it is approaching finality with all the countries that would receive the Galaxy S25 Slim. This is the complete list of countries in which the new Korean flagship mobile can be purchased: Afghanistan Iraq Nigeria Singapore United Kingdom Australia Ireland Pakistan Slovenia Uzbekistan Austria Israel Philippines South Africa Vietnam Brazil Kazakhstan Poland Sri Lanka Caucasus Kenya Portugal Swiss Croatia Libya Russia Thailand Egypt Malaysia Saudi Arabia Tunisia France Mexico Senegal Türkiye India Morocco Serbia/Montenegro UAE Android Headlines The Free Android Apart from Spain Nor does the United States appear as one of the clearest absences, and according to what Evan Blass, another renowned leaker, claims, something similar to the case of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Editionwhich was available, although not by operators. The Galaxy S25 Slim, according to several leakswill stand out for its chip Snapdragon 8 Elitea 6.6-inch FullHD AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a 200 Mpx main camera accompanied by a 3x telephoto lens and an ultra wide angle to make a great mobile, although we will have to wait for its autonomy as it is so thin, since it will not have the same battery that other models such as the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra itself usually enjoy.

All about the cameras of the Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra

by

The wait has come to an end. A few minutes ago Samsung presented all the news about its new flagship phones for 2025. In Hypertextual We have been lucky enough to be able to test them, get to know their AI functions in depth, detail all the prices for the different models and, also, take a good look at their photographic section. In fact, in these lines the protagonists are the Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra camerasthree configurations that aim to earn a place in the highest echelon of the industry. This year Samsung has opted for further professionalize your camerasopting for details that the most advanced users in photography and video will appreciate. In this sense, it has been copied a little from Applefinally integrating the logarithmic recording (LOG), although it has gone further including modes such as the zebra pattern or the direct implementation of LUT’s. Of course, not only those most skilled in photography will be able to take advantage of the new generation: the cameras of the Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra also arrive with very interesting improvements for the general public. A good example is the new 50 MP wide-angle sensor in the most advanced model, an update that many have been missing for some time. Now, it is here and it is accompanied by compelling news. The cameras of the Galaxy S25 Ultra are once again the protagonists Samsung has changed several key aspects in this new series, but one thing that remains is the difference in the cameras of the base models and the most advanced. The Galaxy S25 Ultra continues to boast of having the best photography section ever seen on a Samsung mobile. If you want the best shots and the greatest versatility, it is necessary to go for this mobile. And, to whet your appetite, there’s nothing better than taking a look at the official technical data sheet for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra camera. Sensor type Characteristics Wide Angle Sensor (main camera) Resolution: 200 megapixelsAperture: f/1.7Optical Image Stabilization (OIS)FOV: 85°24mm equivalent Telephoto Sensor Resolution: 50 megapixelsAperture: f/3.4Optical Image Stabilization (OIS)FOV: 22°5x optical zoom111mm equivalent Telephoto Sensor Resolution: 10 megapixelsAperture: f/2.4Optical Image Stabilization (OIS)FOV: 36°3x optical zoom67mm equivalent Ultra Wide Angle Sensor Resolution: 50 megapixelsAperture: f/1.9FOV: 120°13mm equivalent front camera Resolution: 12 megapixelsAperture: f/2.2FOV: 80° The great novelty is in the 50 MP ultra wide angle sensorwhich leaves behind the 12 MP resolution to have higher quality and a much more pleasant experience when zooming into photos in the gallery. Furthermore, this change also considerably improves the luminosity of the shots and it makes night photography with the UW finally have results on par with other cameras. And, although the rest of the sensors hardly change, Samsung has worked to raise the level of photographs. According to the company, has modified the post-processing algorithms to get more juice out of the camerasin addition to taking advantage of the performance of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite to do it much faster. Qualcomm presented a good list of improvements in photography, so the Galaxy S25 Ultra cameras, without offering many changes to the hardware, could make a significant leap over previous generations. A good example of this is the professional details that Samsung has integrated into this Galaxy S25 Ultra. Namely, it has included recording in logarithmic (LOG), it allows including LUT’s directly from the editing section, records 10-bit video in HDR and has implemented a new system called Audio Eraser that eliminates ambient noise in post-production. The arrival of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, the new algorithms, the change in the ultra wide angle and the professional video modes They predict a splendid photographic section from Samsung. Without a doubt, in Hypertextual We are looking forward to getting our hands on the Galaxy S25 Ultra cameras to tell you much more in depth. The Galaxy S25 and S25+ also take advantage of Qualcomm The hardware news is more limited when we talk about the base models. In fact, Samsung has not implemented a single change in the cameras of the Galaxy S25 and S25+ compared to the previous generation. It traces the sensors, resolutions and technical details, although this does not mean it stagnates in image quality. This year the Galaxy S25 and S25+ include the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, while the Galaxy S24 opted for the Exynos 2400. Therefore, as with the Ultra model, Samsung is committed to a photographic improvement present in post-processing of the images. The new algorithms and muscle of the Snapdragon 8 Elite can get more juice out of the Galaxy S25’s camera hardware and obtain that obligatory leap in quality that a new generation should offer. This, of course, does not mean that we would have liked to see the ultra-wide-angle sensor also go from 12 to 50 MP, but it is not what Samsung has decided. Sensor Type Characteristics Wide Angle Sensor (main camera) Resolution: 50 megapixelsAperture: f/1.8Optical Image Stabilization (OIS)FOV: 85°24mm equivalent Telephoto Sensor Resolution: 10 megapixelsAperture: f/2.4Optical Image Stabilization (OIS)FOV: 36°3x optical zoom67mm equivalent Ultra Wide Angle Sensor Resolution: 12 megapixelsAperture: f/2.2FOV: 120°13mm equivalent front camera Resolution: 12 megapixelsAperture: f/2.2FOV: 80° After taking photos, AI will help you further Galaxy AI It is still very present in the entire Galaxy S25 series, and has some interesting functions when we talk about the photographic section. Beyond using artificial intelligence to detect scenes and improve certain shots, the new devices take advantage of the improvement of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite to be faster when editing your content. Now, for example, the Galaxy S25 are capable of performing Generative AI-based editing tasks much faster and without the need to connect to any remote server: everything happens on the device itself. Options like object eraser are not new, but they do work better, offer more realistic results, and run faster. Subscribe to the Hipertextual daily newsletter.

The Galaxy S25 have forgotten the best technology of the year

by

A sublime integration with Geminiinteresting news in the photographic section, the more powerful processor of the industry and a new design that we had been waiting for years for the most advanced model. These are some of the improvements that have made the Unpacked 2025 and that Samsung has shown as the main assets to buy one of the new Galaxy S25, S25+ or S25 Ultra. But, like everything in this life, you cannot get everything right in each section, and There is one that the Korean company has completely forgotten about. What is the great lack of the Samsung Galaxy S25? The battery. The company has not moved a single figure from one year to the next, and maintains the same mAh in each of the models. The design and dimensions hardly change in the new devices – beyond the new Ultra – which could justify the lack of news in this section. Samsung has gone too far when it comes to talking about its batteries, autonomy and fast chargingimplying that it is a section without much room for improvement. Is this true? Are there any relevant milestones in the industry? Has Samsung been left behind? The Galaxy S25 forgets the most important novelty in the battery industry in recent years We are not exaggerating in the slightest. During the last quarter of 2024, the battery industry—specifically those for mobile phones—has achieved a very relevant milestone: the marketing and distribution of silicon-carbon cells. Not only are they fully developed, but there are already several smartphones on sale that integrate them. A good example is the Xiaomi 15a device that was presented in China a couple of months ago with a increase of almost 900 mAh compared to the previous generation. The most interesting thing? Its thickness has only increased by 0.1 millimeterspractically nothing. All thanks to the higher energy density of silicon-carbon. Even much more modest models are betting on this technology. In the mid-range is the Honor Magic7 Litea newcomer to Spain that we have been able to test and that boasts of 6,600 mAh in a 7.98 millimeter body and 189 grams of weight. To put this data in perspective, the Galaxy S25 Ultra has a 5,000 mAh battery that is 8.2 millimeters thick. With these figures on the table, it is impossible not to think that Samsung has missed a good opportunity to make a difference. Opting for silicon-carbon batteries in the Galaxy S25 series would have been a true revolution and a very important leap compared to the previous generation. Only time will tell if Samsung is wrong with this decision, although one thing seems quite obvious: the competition, especially that which comes from China, wants to revolutionize autonomies by 2025 and make mobile phones with huge batteries that are not limited by a thicker or heavier design than normal. It’s a shame that Samsung hasn’t jumped on this boat. Fast charging, but not too fast This 2025 we not only have identical batteries to the 2024 generation, also a fast charge that does not move a single watt (W). Samsung is once again betting on 45 W in the Galaxy S25+ and S25 Ultra, while at the bottom of the list is the Galaxy S25 with a power of 25 W. It is another section that leaves us with a bittersweet taste. Samsung and Apple are fighting a lonely battle for slow fast charging, and while the market is not asking for abysmal 200W powers, it is supporting brands that choose to raise the level a little and allow 80 or 90 W recharges. The figures of the new mobile phones, without being considered slow – the 25 W of the Galaxy S25 yes, everything must be said – They are at the bottom of the industrysomething that does not quite add up when we talk about three mobile phones that intend to reign in the high-end for much of 2025. The Samsung Galaxy S25 are great devices, they come with a good dose of AI, several of the best cameras of the year and unparalleled power for gaming, but they have not managed to finish off and justify the generation step when we talk about battery and fast charging. Using silicon-carbon would have been the culmination, but Samsung wanted to reserve this technology for later.

without changes, Samsung assumes extra costs

by

At the beginning of the year, the possibility of the Korean company applying a significant increase in the price of the Galaxy S25 series. A small scare that in the end will come to nothing, since this game of bringing some prices or others to different regions, at least in Spain and Europe it will not affect the user who wants to purchase one of their mobile phones. These leaks were based on the increased manufacturing costs of the new Galaxy S25 series, so an increase in the series with the best specifications of the Korean company could be partly understood. It seems that Samsung’s proposal is to reduce the profit margin for each unit sold so that the new user of its Galaxy S25 does not assume them. Which means that Samsung is going to go behind its back the increase in the cost of production of its new mobile phones. A crucial moment for the manufacturer, since the new series will arrive with an important renewal in the hardware specifications as will happen in the software with One UI 7 and additions like the Now Bar on the lock screen. It is very clear that Samsung’s intentions are to bring the best possible Galaxy S25 into the hands of new owners without they have to scratch their pockets more than necessary, and it is practically nothing according to the prices that have been leaked both in Korea and in Europe. The possible prices of the three mobile phones that will be presented in two days have been leaked, since the Galaxy S25 Slim moves to the month of May. In Europe the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra can be purchased from 909, 1,159 and 1,459 euros respectively, according to 9to5Google from GizmoChina. Case with stand for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra The Free Android They go on par with the prices of the Galaxy S24 series which was launched in Spain just a year agoalthough with some change in one of the models. The Galaxy S24 was launched at 909 euros, while the Galaxy S24+ started at 1,159 euros and the S24 Ultra at 1,479 euros. It is unknown if the prices are from Germany or another country European, since they tend to fluctuate somewhat, although not much, so it fits perfectly and it can be said that Samsung leaves everything as it was for the next Galaxy S25 that will be presented this Wednesday at Galaxy Unpacked. In just over 48 hours the doubts will be cleared up. Evan Blass The Free Android A series that will not be missing anything and that will arrive again with AI as its flag and the great protagonist to achieve new goals in the user experience; which the Korean company announced a few days ago to anticipate the arrival of its trio of smartphones with One UI 7 as another of the big releases based on Android 15.

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

by

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: Galaxy S25 and S25+ Galaxy S25 Ultra rear cameras 50 MP main sensor with optical image stabilization, f/1.8 aperture and 85° field of view.12 MP ultra-wide-angle sensor with f/2.2 aperture and 120° field of view.10 MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, f/2.4 aperture and 36° field of view. 200 MP main sensor with optical image stabilization, f/1.7 aperture and 85° field of view.50 MP ultra-wide-angle sensor with f/1.9 aperture and 120° field of view.50 MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom, optical image stabilization, f/3.4 aperture and 22° field of view.10 MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, optical image stabilization, f/2.4 aperture and 36° field of view. front camera 12 MP sensor with f/2.2 aperture and 80° field of view. 12 MP sensor with f/2.2 aperture and 80° field of view. 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.
