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
