Samsung Galaxy S25 Features
The Galaxy S25 family introduces some notable enhancements, focusing heavily on Galaxy AI rather than major hardware upgrades. A Snapdragon 8 Elite processor powers the phones, contributing to faster performance and better graphics.
Samsung Galaxy S25 AI
The entire Galaxy S25 family benefits from Galaxy AI, which brings various advanced capabilities:
- Proactive briefs at the start and end of the day, including weather, sleep data, and calendar events.
- Call recording with automatic transcription.
- Ability to complete multi-step tasks with one command, such as “find vegan pet-friendly restaurants, and send the list to Dave.”
- Natural language search in the Samsung Gallery app and Settings.
- Improved Circle to Search, capable of identifying audio playing alongside visual content.
- Audio eraser to remove background noise from videos.
Some features, such as photo editing, require an internet connection, but others, like live translate, work entirely on the phone. These features will eventually be available on older devices like the Galaxy S24, though the S25 executes these tasks faster.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Design
The design of the Galaxy S25 family is similar to last year’s models, with a few adjustments:
- Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus retain 6.2-inch and 6.7-inch displays, respectively, but are now lighter.
- Galaxy S25 Ultra has a slightly larger 6.9-inch display, reduced from 6.8 inches on the S24 Ultra, along with a curvier design. The S Pen is still integrated.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Camera
The camera setup on the Galaxy S25 family remains mostly unchanged from the previous year, except for a new 50MP ultra-wide lens on the Ultra, replacing the older 12MP lens. The standard Galaxy S25 offers:
- 50MP primary lens
- 12MP ultra-wide lens
- 10MP 3x zoom lens
- 12MP selfie camera
Samsung Galaxy S25 Battery
The battery on the Galaxy S25 models is the same as last year’s, with the standard S25 featuring a 4,000mAh cell.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Processor
Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the Galaxy S25 boasts 37% faster processing than the S24 Ultra, along with 30% better graphics performance.
Samsung Galaxy S25 5G
All models of the Galaxy S25 feature 5G connectivity. However, Australian variants do not support mmWave 5G, which is a faster type of 5G. You can use IMP’s coverage checker to check 5G availability in your area.
