The Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup represents Samsung Electronics’ premium range of Android smartphones within its flagship Galaxy S series.[1][2][3]

This series succeeds the previous generation represented by the Samsung Galaxy S24. The initial trio—comprising the S25, S25+, and the flagship S25 Ultra—were unveiled during the Galaxy Unpacked event held in San Jose, California on January 22, 2025 before becoming available on February 7 the same year.[4]

The production footprint for the Galaxy S25 Ultra extends beyond Vietnam and India to include manufacturing in Egypt where it was also introduced into the local market through authorized outlets and distributors.[5] This marked the beginning of exports targeting countries in the Gulf region as well as North Africa.

A supplementary addition to this generation—the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge—was announced later at the May 13, 2025 edition of Galaxy Unpacked before its commercial release on May 30.[6][7] Measuring just [convert: needs a number] thick at only about , this model sets a new record as the slimmest device ever released under the Galaxy S banner—surpassing even earlier slim devices like Samsung’s own Galaxy A8 from 2015 or the U100 from 2007.[8][9]

Lineup

The Galaxy S25 series comprises four distinct variants: the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, Galaxy S25 Ultra, and the newly introduced Galaxy S25 Edge, which stands out as Samsung's slimmest phone since the Galaxy A8 (2015).

The Galaxy S25 is equipped with a flat 6.2 in (160 mm) screen and compact dimensions. The Galaxy S25+ shares much of the same internal architecture but features a larger 6.7 in (170 mm) display. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S25 Ultra boasts a 6.9 in (180 mm) screen, a slightly bigger frame compared to its predecessor, and rounded edges that better reflect the overall aesthetic of the Galaxy S lineup.[3] Introducing a fresh option, the Galaxy S25 Edge also sports a 6.7-inch (17 cm) display and is distinguished by its ultra-thin profile, measuring just 5.85 mm (0.230 in) in thickness.[10][11][12]

While the dimensions of the S25 and S25+ remain largely consistent with those of the previous S24 models, the Ultra version adopts subtle design enhancements, and the Edge model sets itself apart with its notably slimmer build.[3]

All four phones are equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, marking a shift from earlier Galaxy S releases where chipsets varied by geographic region; now, this chipset is standardized across every global model.[13][14][15][16][17] Each device supports identical eSIM capabilities within their respective markets. International editions come with dual Nano-SIM slots plus dual eSIM profiles, U.S. versions feature a single Nano-SIM slot alongside dual eSIM support, and Chinese models maintain traditional dual Nano-SIM slots without eSIM functionality.[18]

Galaxy S25 Edge model

The Galaxy S25 and S25+ models maintain an aluminum chassis paired with a glass rear panel, closely resembling their previous iterations. Both phones utilize Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front screen and the back glass surface.[19]

Available in four primary colors— Icy Blue, Mint, Navy, and Silver Shadow—these models also offer three exclusive shades accessible only via Samsung's online store: Pink Gold, Coral Red, and Blue Black.[20][21]

The S25 Ultra is constructed with a titanium frame combined with a glass back, echoing the design of the S24 Ultra but introducing rounded edges instead of the previous squared corners. For enhanced toughness and minimized glare, it features Gorilla Glass Armor 2 on both the front display and rear panel.

This Ultra variant comes in four standard finishes: Titanium Silver Blue, Titanium Black, Titanium White Silver, and Titanium Grey. Additionally, three colors—Titanium Jade Green, Titanium Jet Black, and Titanium Pink Gold—are offered exclusively through Samsung’s online platform.[22]

Featuring a titanium body as well, the S25 Edge sports a flat screen design similar to the S25 and S25+, but boasts a thinner silhouette. Its front is protected by Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, which enhances resistance to scratches and reduces reflections. The Edge model is offered in three color options: Titanium Icy Blue, Titanium Silver, and Titanium Jet Black.[23][7][24]

Display

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

The S25 and S25+ models come with a triple-camera setup comprising a 50 MP wide sensor, a 10 MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and a 12 MP ultrawide sensor.

Conversely, the S25 Ultra boasts a more advanced configuration including a 200 MP wide sensor, a 50 MP periscope telephoto lens with 5x zoom, an additional 10 MP telephoto lens offering 3x zoom, a 50 MP ultrawide sensor, and laser autofocus assistance.

The S25 Edge is equipped with a dual-camera system featuring a 200 MP wide sensor alongside a 12 MP ultrawide sensor but lacks any telephoto lenses.

All variants are fitted with a front-facing camera sporting a 12 MP sensor.

Batteries

The battery capacities of the Galaxy S25 series closely resemble those found in the prior S24 lineup, except for the S25 Edge. This variant features a reduced thickness, resulting in a smaller battery compared to the S25+, despite sharing almost the same height and width dimensions. Wired charging capabilities differ across models: both the S25 and S25 Edge support up to 25 W, whereas the S25+ and S25 Ultra enable faster charging at 45 W. All four devices are compatible with Qi2 wireless charging at speeds up to 15 W and also allow reverse wireless charging to power other Qi-enabled gadgets.

To achieve 15 W Qi2 wireless charging, every Galaxy S25 device must be paired with a magnetized case designed specifically for this purpose.

Memory and storage

All Galaxy S25 variants have been launched with a baseline of 12 GB RAM, marking a change from earlier generations. The base storage for the standard S25 starts at 128 GB, whereas the remaining three models begin with a minimum of 256 GB. Notably, the S25 Edge is fixed at 12 GB RAM without any upgrade options.

In select markets such as South Korea and Greater China (including Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan), certain Galaxy S25 Ultra configurations offer a 16 GB RAM option. Specifically, South Korean Titanium Jetblack units with 1 TB storage come equipped with 16 GB RAM. Similarly, in Greater China, the 1 TB storage variant includes 16 GB RAM regardless of color selection.

Software

One UI 7 running on the S25 Ultra

The Galaxy S25 series debuted with Android 15 alongside Samsung’s custom One UI 7 interface. Samsung has committed to providing seven years of operating system and security updates for these models, potentially extending support through 2032.

These smartphones also come equipped with Galaxy AI, Samsung’s collection of artificial intelligence functionalities. This relatively recent addition has been enhanced with new features in the S25 generation.

S Pen controversy

Upon unveiling the S25 Ultra, Samsung decided to eliminate the Bluetooth capabilities from its signature S Pen, a feature initially introduced with the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 in 2018. The company justified this removal as a cost-reduction strategy, stating that fewer than 1% of users utilized the Bluetooth functions.

The removal resulted in the loss of several features including remote camera operation, air gestures, and specific app integrations such as those found in Microsoft PowerPoint and Samsung’s own Gallery application.
