The Samsung Galaxy S25 series represents Samsung Electronics’ premium lineup within its renowned flagship Samsung Galaxy S series. These Android-based smartphones succeed the previous generation's Galaxy S24 lineup.[1][2][3]

The initial announcement took place during the Galaxy Unpacked event held in San Jose, California on January22,2025 for the standard S25 alongside the Plus and Ultra variants; these models became available to consumers on February7.[4]

Production of the Galaxy S25 Ultra spans multiple countries including Vietnam and India; notably it is also officially assembled in Egypt where it was introduced into the local market through authorized retailers and distributors.[5] This move marks the beginning of exports targeting Gulf Cooperation Council nations as well as North African markets.

A further addition to the lineup—the Galaxy S25 Edge—was unveiled during the May13,Gala Unpacked event followed by its commercial release on May30.[6][7] Measuring just5.8 millimeters thick,the Edge model claims the title as the slimmest device in Samsung’s Galaxy lineup history—surpassing even older models such as the2015 Galaxy A8 and2007’s U100 Ultra Edition.[8][9]

Lineup

The Galaxy S25 series comprises four variants: the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, Galaxy S25 Ultra, and the Galaxy S25 Edge, which holds the distinction of being Samsung's slimmest phone since the Galaxy A8 (2015).

The base Galaxy S25 is equipped with a flat 6.2 in (160 mm) screen and a compact design. Its counterpart, the Galaxy S25+, shares similar internal specifications but features a larger 6.7 in (170 mm) display. The Galaxy S25 Ultra boasts a 6.9 in (180 mm) screen along with a slightly expanded frame compared to the previous model, incorporating rounded edges that better reflect the overall aesthetic of the Galaxy S series.[10][3] Introducing a fresh addition to the lineup, the Galaxy S25 Edge also sports a 6.7-inch (17 cm) display and stands out as the thinnest device in the series, measuring just 5.85 mm (0.230 in) in thickness.[11][12][13]

While the dimensions of the S25 and S25+ largely mirror those of their predecessors in the S24 series, the Ultra model introduces refined design tweaks, and the Edge distinguishes itself by adopting a notably slimmer body.[3]

Each model in this lineup is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, marking a departure from earlier Galaxy S releases which featured region-specific chipsets; this generation employs a uniform chipset across all markets worldwide.[14][15][16][17][18] The entire range—the Galaxy S25, S25+, S25 Ultra, and S25 Edge—supports identical eSIM capabilities within their respective regions. International models come equipped with dual Nano-SIM slots alongside dual eSIM profiles; U.S. versions feature a single Nano-SIM slot combined with dual eSIM support; meanwhile, Chinese editions retain traditional dual Nano-SIM slots without eSIM functionality.[19]

Design

Color options for the S25 Ultra: Titanium Silverblue, Black, Whitesilver, and Gray
Galaxy S25 Edge model

The Galaxy S25 and S25+ maintain an aluminum frame paired with a glass back panel, continuing the design approach of their forerunners. Both models incorporate Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front screen as well as on the rear glass surface.[20]

Available in four primary hues— Icy Blue, Mint, Navy, and Silver Shadow—these devices also offer three exclusive shades through Samsung's official online store: Pink Gold, Coral Red, and Blue Black.[21][22]

Constructed with a titanium chassis and glass rear, the S25 Ultra resembles the S24 Ultra in build but introduces rounded edges instead of the previous squared corners. For enhanced toughness and reduced glare, it employs Gorilla Glass Armor 2 on both front and back panels.

The Ultra variant is presented in four standard titanium finishes: Titanium Silver Blue, Titanium Black, Titanium White Silver, and Titanium Grey. Additionally, three exclusive online-only colors are offered: Titanium Jade Green, Titanium Jet Black, and Titanium Pink Gold.[23]

Holding the S25 Ultra

Featuring a titanium body with a flat screen design akin to the S25 and S25+, the S25 Edge offers a slimmer silhouette. Its front display is protected by Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, providing superior scratch resistance and minimizing reflections. This model comes in three color options: Titanium Icy Blue, Titanium Silver, and Titanium Jet Black.[24][7][25]

Display

The Galaxy S25 lineup is equipped with a "Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X" screen that supports HDR10+, offers a refresh rate up to 120 Hz, and achieves a peak brightness of 2600 nits. For the S25 and S25+ models, the display is safeguarded by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection, while the S25 Ultra features Corning Gorilla Glass Armor 2 for enhanced durability. Each device in this series incorporates an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor. The S25 Edge also employs a "Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X" panel with identical HDR10+ support, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and matches the peak brightness of 2600 nits. Its screen is shielded by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, consistent with the base S25 and S25+ models.

Camera

The S25 and S25+ models are outfitted with a triple camera setup consisting of a 50 MP wide sensor, a 10 MP telephoto lens offering 3x optical zoom, and a 12 MP ultrawide sensor.

In contrast, the S25 Ultra boasts a more advanced array featuring a 200 MP wide sensor, a 50 MP periscope telephoto lens with 5x zoom capability, an additional 10 MP telephoto lens with 3x zoom, a 50 MP ultrawide sensor, along with laser-assisted autofocus technology.

The S25 Edge includes a dual-camera system comprising a 200 MP wide sensor and a 12 MP ultrawide sensor but lacks any telephoto lens.

All variants are equipped with a front-facing camera featuring a 12 MP sensor.

Batteries

The battery capacities in the Galaxy S25 lineup largely mirror those found in the preceding S24 series, except for the S25 Edge model. Owing to its slimmer profile, the S25 Edge features a smaller battery compared to the S25+, despite having almost the same height and width dimensions. Wired charging capabilities differ among models: the S25 and S25 Edge support up to 25 W, while the S25+ and S25 Ultra offer faster wired charging at 45 W. All variants are compatible with Qi2 wireless charging at a maximum of 15 W and can also provide reverse wireless charging to power other Qi-enabled devices.

To achieve full Qi2 compatibility and 15 W wireless charging speeds, every Galaxy S25 device requires a specially designed magnetic case.

Memory and storage

All Galaxy S25 models launched uniformly with 12 GB of RAM, marking a departure from previous generations. The base storage for the Galaxy S25 starts at 128 GB, whereas the other three models begin at 256 GB. The S25 Edge is equipped with 12 GB of RAM as standard and does not offer alternative RAM configurations.

In select markets such as South Korea and Greater China (including Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan), certain Galaxy S25 Ultra variants provide an option for 16 GB of RAM. Specifically, in South Korea, Titanium Jetblack color units with 1 TB storage come equipped with 16 GB RAM. For Greater China, any color choice paired with 1 TB storage includes the 16 GB RAM option.

Software

One UI 7 running on the S25 Ultra

The Galaxy S25 series debuted with Android 15 paired with One UI 7. Samsung has committed to providing seven years of operating system and security updates for these models, indicating support could continue until approximately 2032.

These smartphones also come equipped with Galaxy AI, Samsung’s integrated artificial intelligence platform, which has been enhanced with new features in the S25 generation.

S Pen controversy

Upon launching the S25 Ultra, Samsung chose to eliminate the Bluetooth capabilities previously integrated into its signature S Pen, a feature introduced with the Galaxy Note 9 back in 2018. This removal was justified as a cost reduction strategy, citing usage by fewer than 1% of Galaxy users.

This change resulted in the loss of remote camera control, air gesture functionalities, and several app-specific features including those in PowerPoint and Samsung’s native Gallery application.
