Samsung Galaxy S25 full specs revealed (again), detail changes from the S24 series

11 January 2025
Long story short, there's a new chipset - and it will be a Snapdragon everywhere - plus things like more RAM for the S25 and a new ultra-wide camera for the S25 Ultra.

Sort by:

Isn't it time for Samuns to have 16gb of ram? A 5,500 mAh battery wouldn't have been bad and a 80w fast charge wouldn't have cost them anything to do this! The rest could have stayed the same...

    PorkHotdog, 10 Jan 2025Man I never noticed how unreliable GSMArena was until now. ... moreYeah the sarcasm is really annoying in recent times. Calling a 2MP camera useless or decorative is something I can let slide because that’s the known truth, but every single article makes it annoying on a supposed news website. If I wanted to hear hate about everything and everyone I‘d go to Twitter.

      nice to see for once some model not growing in dimensions, though I wish they made width under 70mm

      but still won't change a thing about Samsung Slow Shutter

          162g, that is significant. Last year, only 2 smartphones achieved a weight that was the same or lower.
          - Infinix Hot 50 Pro+ 4G at 162g too
          - Sharp Aquos sense8 at 159g
          https://m.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2024&nYearMax=2024&nWeightMax=165&sFormFactors=1&idOS=2

          This even beats the Xperia 10 VI which was a very lightweight phone but also uses plastic for its entire body, while the Galaxy S25 will use aluminum and glass. That‘s an achievement and good news for everyone who prefers lighter phones. Your nagging about 25W charging won’t change that. I am happy Samsung regards the people who wish for more ergonomic phones.

            Sam N8 808 owner, 10 Jan 2025Correct. I read somewhere that to get UFS 4.0, you must hav... moreWell to summarise things-

            *Base S Series is just Glorified Flagship killer,priced as Real flagship.It it basically what FE series should've been for FE prices.
            *S+ series exist just to present S Ultra as better choice for its absurd prices.
            *S Ultra is what Samsung wants to offer as Ultimate product considering their market position. Also explains why,they can get away with being inferior in overall hardware package compared to its peers.

                "A new Audio Eraser feature will be available to remove noises from your videos."

                Hmm, feels like Sony Xperia 1 II and their subsequent release feature's Intelligent Wind Filter Audio, except the differences that I may not know? We'll see.

                And with this slow pace, I won't be surprised if Xperia 1 VII's non-main camera upgrade, RAM and base storage surpassed's S25 Ultra's base one because Samsung Galaxy's tech progress is even slower than Apple's with iPhone lately, like what the deck?

                  S25 to S24:
                  - New chip
                  - 12go of RAM(S24 has 12go in some regions)
                  - Thinner
                  - Camera rings
                  - 1mm slimmer bezels(lol)
                  - Bluetooth 5.4

                  S23 to S24
                  - New chip
                  - Slightly bigger with slightly bigger screen
                  - 100mah more battery
                  - Flat matte frame
                  - Slimmer bezels
                  - Brighter screen
                  - LTPO screen
                  - Improved fingerprint scanner
                  - 7 years firmware upgrades
                  - Armor aluminium 2.0
                  - 12go in some regions(all regions for S24+)
                  - QHD screen(S24+)

                  Atleast they tried with the S24(which was underwelming too) but the S25/S25+may just stand next to the Iphone 14 as least improved phone.

                    With UFS 2.0 of course, for $800.

                      Either way, no microsd card slot even though you do make those, right Samsung? Another year I skip and I'll keep skipping until they stop trying to sell me an iPhone.

How could it be both bad, but too cheap for $600? Plus I never said it was a bad phone, it's just not really a good one either, it's nothing special, basically like a flagship killer, which is why I said $600.

                          There is absolutely no reason to buy S25 or S25+ when they are no differences with S24 and S24+ besides the chipset.

                            DarlingYext, 10 Jan 2025"TL;DR: Galaxy S24 series again, except this time with... moreCorrect. I read somewhere that to get UFS 4.0, you must have a decent capacity too like 256, 512GB or so.
                            But our dear Samsung believes their premium S-phone needs a 128GB base memory option.

                            How about a 32GB version too, in memory of old days, where you love to live, Sammy eh?

                            Its a midranger, probably will be priced like those Chinese flagships, Iqoos and all.

                                In a nutshell, boring. Good thing is, again, price will drop 1/3 after 6 months

                                  For anybody wondering, base S25 just like S24 and S23 will UFS 3.1 on 128gb, but UFS 4.0 on 256gb and above (UFS 4.0 doesn't exist in 128gb size)

                                    Log Video recording... huge file sizes, but you don't have microSD to save it.

                                    Take my mail. Alert me when they get a card slot, even if its on the top, most expensive model. Not buying this rubbish.

                                      Disappointing battery size
