Lineup

The Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup includes 4 different models of phones, the Samsung Galaxy S25, Samsung Galaxy S25+, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. Although not much is known about the S25 Edge, early builds teased by Samsung on stage show a slimmer version of the normal S25. The inclusion of the S25 Edge marks a new addition to the line up of the S Series of smartphones and the return of Galaxy S Edge series since 2016's Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.

The S25 and S25+ share the same display size as their predecessors, whereas the top-end S25 Ultra has a slightly larger display. [8] The flagship S25 features a flat 6.2 inch (155 mm) display. [9] The S25+ has similar hardware, but with a larger 6.7 inch (168 mm) form factor. [10] The S25 Ultra is slightly larger than its predecessor, with a screen size of 6.9 inches (175 mm). [11] The S25 Ultra also features rounded corners as part of its design, making it align more with the rest of the Galaxy S Series of smartphones. [12] The S25 lineup of smartphones is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which, unlike previous generations of the S Series, will be used in all S25 smartphones worldwide. [13]

The S25 and S25+ smartphones have an aluminium body and a glass back, similar to the design of their predecessors.

The S25 Ultra has a titanium body and a glass back, similar to the S24 Ultra. However, the S25 Ultra features rounded corners, departing from the S24 Ultra's squared corners. Additionally, the S25 Ultra uses Gorilla Glass Armor 2 for its front display and rear panel for improved durability and reduced glare.

Software

The Galaxy S25 phones were launched with Android 15, and Samsung One UI 7. Samsung has promised 7 years of OS and security updates to the S25 series of phones (meaning support may end in 2032). [25]

The devices are additionally shipped with Galaxy AI, Samsung's advanced AI features on Galaxy devices. This year, Galaxy AI being a relatively young technology, now has new updates with S25 Series.

S Pen Controversy

With the release of the S25 Ultra, Samsung opted to remove the Bluetooth functionality in its trademark S Pen, a feature added to the stylus with the Galaxy Note 9 in 2018. Samsung sought to remove the Bluetooth features as a cost-saving measure, claiming it was used by less than 1% of Galaxy users. [26]

Among the functions lost in are remote camera control, air actions, and several in-app features for programs such as PowerPoint or the native Gallery app. [27]

Many Samsung users voiced their ire over the issue by the creation of several online petitions, some containing thousands of signatures. The petitions call for Samsung to return the Bluetooth functionality to the S Pen with the release of the Galaxy S26 Ultra in 2026.
