The Samsung Galaxy S25 is a series of high-end Android-based smartphones developed and marketed by Samsung Electronics as part of its flagship Galaxy S Series. [7] [8] They collectively serve as the successor to the Galaxy S24 series. The S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra models were announced on January 22, 2025, at the Galaxy Unpacked event in San Jose, California, and were released on February 7, 2025. [9]
In addition to manufacturing the Galaxy S25 Ultra in Vietnam and India, it was officially manufactured in Egypt and launched in the local market through official stores and agents, [10] as well as exported to the Gulf and North African countries as a first step towards exporting this product.
An additional model in the series, the S25 Edge, was launched at Galaxy Unpacked on May 13, 2025, and was later released on May 30. [11] [12] At 5.8 mm (0.23 in), the S25 Edge is the thinnest Galaxy S device ever produced and is also thinner than Samsung's previous Galaxy A8 (2015) and U100 (2007). [13] [14] . The S25 FE was also launched on September 3, 2025 [15]
The Galaxy S25 lineup includes four models: Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, Galaxy S25 Ultra, and the Galaxy S25 Edge, which is the thinnest Samsung phone since the Galaxy A8 (2015).
The Galaxy S25 features a flat 6.2 in (160 mm) display. The Galaxy S25+ offers similar internal hardware with a larger 6.7 in (170 mm) display. The Galaxy S25 Ultra includes a 6.9 in (180 mm) display, a larger frame compared to its predecessor, and rounded corners that align more closely with the design language of the Galaxy S series. [16]
The Galaxy S25 Edge, a new addition to the series, also has a 6.7-inch (17 cm) display and is the thinnest and most compact model in the lineup, at 5.8 mm (0.23 in) thick. [17] Across the lineup, weights range from 162 g (Galaxy S25) to 218 g (Galaxy S25 Ultra). [18] [19] [20]
While the S25 and S25+ have dimensions similar to their S24 counterparts, the S25 Ultra includes design adjustments, and the S25 Edge is distinguished by a thinner chassis. [16]
Model | Thickness | Weight |
---|---|---|
Galaxy S25 | 7.2 mm | 162 g |
Galaxy S25+ | 7.3 mm | 190 g |
Galaxy S25 Ultra | 8.2 mm | 218 g |
Galaxy S25 Edge | 5.8 mm | 163 g |
Galaxy S25 FE | 7.4 mm | 190 g |
The Galaxy S25 series is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Unlike previous Galaxy S generations that used different chipsets by region, the Snapdragon 8 Elite is used uniformly across all global variants. [21] Manufactured using a 3 nm process, the chipset features an octa-core CPU with two high-performance Oryon cores clocked up to 4.47 GHz and six efficiency cores running at 3.53 GHz. Its Adreno 830 GPU provides hardware-accelerated graphics and AI-related processing, enabling performance in resource-intensive applications. [22] [23] [24] [25] All models in the lineup feature a redesigned vapor chamber cooling system that helps dissipate heat produced by the chipset during heavy workloads. While all models share the same processor, the size and design of the vapor chamber differ by device. The S25 and S25+ use chambers approximately 15% larger than those of the Galaxy S24 series, [26] the S25 Edge adopts a vapor chamber with a thinner and wider surface area, [27] and the S25 Ultra integrates a chamber about 40% larger with additional material layers for heat dissipation. [28]
The Galaxy S25, S25+, S25 Ultra and S25 Edge all offer the same eSIM functionality within each respective region. International variants support dual Nano-SIM slots along with dual eSIM profiles. U.S. models include a single Nano-SIM slot with dual eSIM support, while Chinese versions retain the traditional dual Nano-SIM configuration without eSIM capability. [29]
The S25 and S25+ smartphones have an aluminum body and a glass back, similar to the design of their predecessors. Both the S25 and S25+ use Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for both the front display and rear glass panel. [30]
They come in five standard colors: Icy Blue, Mint, Navy, Silver Shadow, and Blue Black, having been previously available exclusively through Samsung's online website alongside Pink Gold and Coral Red before pulling it off its exclusive list due to higher demand than anticipated. [31] [32]
The S25 Ultra has a titanium body and a glass back, similar to the S24 Ultra; however, the phone features rounded corners, unlike 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.
The S25 Ultra comes in four standard colors: Titanium Silver Blue, Titanium Black, Titanium White Silver and Titanium Grey, with the Titanium Jet Black, initially an exclusive option, being added to the roaster later on due to high demand. The S25 Ultra comes in two additional colors that are only available through Samsung's online website: Titanium Jade Green and Titanium Pink Gold. [33]
The S25 Edge is available in three colors: Titanium Icy Blue, Titanium Silver, and Titanium Jet Black. [34] [12] [35]

The Galaxy S25 series features a Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X display across all models with HDR10+ support and a 120 Hz refresh rate, reaching up to 2600 nits. Each device also includes an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor. The S25 Ultra uses Corning Gorilla Armor 2, the S25 Edge uses Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on the front, and the S25 and S25+ use Gorilla Glass Victus 2. [36]
According to Corning, the Gorilla Armor 2 on the S25 Ultra offers enhanced durability, with over four times greater scratch resistance than conventional lithium-aluminosilicate cover glass and features anti-reflective properties to reduce surface glare. [37] Laboratory tests further reported that it can withstand drops of up to 2.2 metres onto a surface simulating concrete, while comparable glass-ceramic materials reportedly failed from 1 metre. [38] [39]
ProScaler is an AI-based upscaling technology imbedded in the Galaxy S25+, S25 Edge, and S25 Ultra models. Leveraging Samsung's ProVisual Engine, ProScaler is designed to enhance lower-resolution content by upscaling them to higher resolutions, improving how such content appears on high-resolution displays.
The ProScaler feature, is optimized for QHD+ resolution (3120 × 1440 pixels), which provides higher pixel density compared to FHD+. QHD+ allows ProScaler’s AI-based upscaling to produce consistent visuals. [40]

The Galaxy S25 and S25+ each feature a triple rear camera system consisting of a 50 MP wide-angle (main) camera, a 12 MP ultra-wide camera with a 120° field of view, and a 10 MP telephoto camera offering 3× optical zoom. The Galaxy S25 Ultra features a quad camera setup, including a 200 MP wide-angle camera, a 50 MP ultra-wide camera, a 10 MP telephoto camera with 3× optical zoom, and a 50 MP periscope telephoto camera with 5× optical zoom. The Galaxy S25 Edge includes a dual-camera system with a 200 MP wide-angle sensor and a 12 MP ultrawide sensor, without a telephoto lens. All models in the series are equipped with a 12 MP front-facing camera (f/2.2) for selfies and video calls.
Under the ProVisual Engine—a Samsung Galaxy AI imaging system—the Ultra model includes image processing features such as adaptive scene optimization and noise reduction for photography and videography. The S25 Ultra further introduces a Quad Tele System, allowing four distinct optical zoom levels (2×, 3×, 5×, and 10×), which provides flexibility in framing subjects at varying distances. All models support pixel-binning techniques and include a Super Steady video mode for stabilization. [41]
All models in the series are capable of recording video in up to 8K resolution at 30 fps, delivering high-resolution video capture across the lineup. [42] [43] [44]

The Galaxy S25 phones were launched with Android 15 and 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). [50]
The devices are additionally shipped with Galaxy AI, Samsung's suite of artificial intelligence features. As a relatively new technology, it has received updated capabilities in the S25 series. [51]
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. [52]
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. [53]
