Please include shutter lag or photography of moving subjects in your camera assessment. I've found Samsung's to be very much delayed all the time. It makes for a lot of blurry shots.

Anonymous, 16 Feb 2025According to GSMArena article, they are close in terms of: ... moreS25 is relatively good when you're coming from a 2-year old midranger or any iPhone with a notch. If you can still find a brand new S24 on clearance sale, that's still a better buy than a full price S25.

Amazing that the S25 is the king of compact and light phone. Never understood why the new Pro iPhones are still that heavy when they have switched to aluminum frame from stainless steel (the titanium is just a paint job).

DarlingYext, 16 Feb 2025"Crazy to see how close the latest iPhone Pro is to th... moreAccording to GSMArena article, they are close in terms of:
- Screen: The iPhone is brighter, but it has a larger punch-hole.
- Battery life: S25 13 hours (in standard performance profile) vs. iPhone 16 Pro 14 hours.
- Charging speed: S25 full in 77 minutes vs. iPhone in 98 minutes.
- Speakers: Similar for average users.
- Performance: The S25 has slightly more RAM, but it is Android; the S25 is ahead in Geekbench and 3DMark results.
- Camera: Both have main, ultrawide, and zoom lenses (one is 3x and the other 5x). The iPhone is slightly better, but both are very good for average users.
The S25 lacks UWB, and satellite connectivity, but it is much lighter and thinner.
Also, One UI 7 is better in terms of customization, multitasking, and AI, and it has DeX mode. For example, the new AI object remover is far superior to the ios one.
And the S25 comes at a lower price point, more comparable to the base iPhone 16.

Close in what? Size maybe, and nothing else, it's lightyears ahead of the Galaxy.

Got a S25 256GB for 599 euro + Buds 3 without trade-in. Really good device, thin and light.
Crazy to see how close the latest iPhone Pro is to the base S25. While iPhone is thicker, heavier, and more expensive than the S25.
Happy to not have bought an expensive brick.

Correct. It's not better than the S25u, I didn't even compare it to said phone, but it is better than the S25 (base and plus), which is what I've compared it to.

Iphone 13 pro is low quality by today's standards and it's not comparable to the s25u. Even the 16 pro stands no chance against the s25u. Maybe it has slightly better video quality, but that's all it got going on for itself.

Congratulations! Samsung has fixed 1 out of 4 camera bugs. 3 are still pending - grainy video, green vertical line in the camera app, and night photos and video with the quality of a 0.3MP camera from the last millennium. After that, they can focus on the remaining 239893432 software bugs.

Claudespeed, 16 Feb 2025The update is ready, they're just doing final refineme... moreSo is it ready, or does it need refinements? It's one, or the other.
I'll answer it for you, it is completely ready, Samsung is intentionally delaying it to push the sales of the S25 series, and they will do the same with the update of the S25 series, once the S26 series launches.

Since I need an Android to finish all my tasks, I will have to choose the S25 over the 16 Pro. Even if it's the S23 vs 16 Pro for me to choose now, I will choose the S23
