The S25 was just announced by Samsung and it has the whole world hyped up. Anyone who is a fan of Samsung knows that its phones have never let us down, especially when it comes to the flagship S-series.
On January 22nd, 2025, Samsung announced the Galaxy S25 and its variants and all of them seem pretty promising to me. You can pre-order your favorite model now since all the phones will hit the stores on February 7th, 2025. However, before you place an order, it is important to know what you are signing up for. Here’s what we know about the S25 so far.
The Display
From what we know, the S25 has a pretty stellar display for all the variants. However, the only difference is in the size of the screens. For instance, the regular S25 has a 6.2-inch display with a 120 Hz LTPO screen and an AMOLED display.
Both of the other variants have the same specs with a 120 Hz LTPO screen and an AMOLED display but the only difference is that the S25+ comes with a 6.7-inch screen while the S25 Ultra has a 6.9-inch screen. The size of the screen depends on the size of your hands as well, since you wouldn’t want a super large phone if you have smaller hands and dainty fingers.
The Build Quality
Samsung has created some formidable phones this time. With the S25 Ultra, they outdid themselves. Both the S25 and the S25+ come with an Aluminum finish and a Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2. The Aluminum body gives the phone a sturdy outlook while the Gorilla Glass Victus 2 allows your phone to withstand a lot of impact on the screen.
However, Samsung leaped further with the S25 Ultra by giving it a Titanium body instead of an Aluminum one. This phone has a Corning Gorilla Glass Armor 2 on the front and a Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the back, ensuring protection on both sides of the phone.
The Processor and RAM
You will be glad to know that all three variants of the phone offer the same processor and RAM, regardless of being the base variant, the Plus, or the Ultra model. All three of the phones come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset coupled with 12GB of RAM.
This will make it easy for you to run heavy applications on your phone. For instance, if you are into photo editing, you can easily run Adobe Lightroom on your phone and edit professional-level photos without the worry of any lag.
Similarly, if you are into online gaming, you can play games such as Call of Duty Mobile or PUBG Mobile without your phone hanging in between. However, to make the most of your gaming experience, make sure you connect your phone to a reliable internet service so that you have no latency issues as you play.
Pro Tip: For online gaming, I have always relied on Xfinity Internet – fast internet speed minimizes lag and delays, leading to smooth gameplay. You can contact Xfinity customer service to learn more about its plans and packages.
The Storage
The storage is yet another factor that sets the S25 Ultra apart from the other variants. The base variant of the phone offers 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB of storage space while the S25+ offers 256GB and 512GB respectively.
However, the storage space offered by the Ultra is the same as the S25+ except for the 1TB version of the phone, which is equivalent to 1,000GB. All phones of this version give enough storage for you to not run out or use cloud storage as an alternative. If you get the 1TB variant of the S25 Ultra, you’ll be sorted for the next couple of years!
The Battery Capacity
All three of the phones feature different battery capacities, for instance, the S25 features a 4,000 mAh battery which probably wouldn’t be enough if you have heavy phone usage. However, the S25+ comes with a 4,900 mAh battery which is still a lot better than the base variant and can last you a couple of days if you are smart about your phone usage.
As expected, the S25 Ultra features the most powerful battery, a 5,000 mAh one. This kind of battery power is optimal for someone who excessively uses their phone every day. So depending on what your phone usage is, you should decide which variant would work the best for you.
Lastly, the Camera
When you get a phone, it is important to look at the camera since it is responsible for capturing all your moments (for me at least). All three phones have brilliant cameras with the base variant and S25+ offering a primary camera of 50MP while the Ultra has a 200MP primary camera!
