Yet another disappointing release by Samsung...Apple and Samsung are both stuck in design recycling and chinese manufacturers are taking complete advantage of this and offering devices at cheaper prices gaining market share every year.

Unless you really need a new phone I don't see any substantial reason for the users of atleast s22 and above to upgrade to S25 series.

Another Nokia in making!!

    This is one of smartphone releases in 2025 ever, it's amazing to see the brand new slightly-rounded-corners variants of the S24 series.

    Anyway, when is Samsung planning to release S25 series?

      Yaaaaawn
      99.9% identical to the S24 models.

            GSMARENA, If you’re reading this, I really want a detailed comparison between the S25 Ultra and the x200 Pro.
            Just like the comparisons you guys used to do before.

              It's clear choice to me to buy x200pro instead of this scam.

                  S24 and it's the same but there's better chipsets so it's not

                    Samsung gathered the complete set - after Fold and Flip, now they released a Flop. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

                      Being overclocked makes the soc even worse. The ultra already lacks space for the cooling and increasing the clock speed just makes the heating problem worse.

                        Let's see if i make the switch 😌

                          S25 Edge? That's it?

                          Not a single word on it other than it's slim/thin?

                          What a cliff hanger :-)

                            Nothing to get excited about... but that navy blue looks nice 👍

                              I'll wait for the Zenfone 12 Ultra and new SD 8 Elite phones.

                                Cameras got better, but only marginally.

                                12GB of RAM is an utter disappointment though. Did they save $5 or 10?

                                I expected 12 for SGS 25/25+ and at the very least 16 for SGS 25 Ultra.

                                Running AI locally requires boatloads of RAM. Even Google went for 16GB in the Pixel 9 Pro. I'm simply confused.

                                    It's 2025 and I still can't find a worthy contender to replace my LG V60. Oh how mighty have fallen...

                                      Without stress test and battery drain tests we can't say much.
                                      One thing became clear after so long AI AI AI talk. AI is for people who don't use native intelligence built in their heads

                                        did you guys mess up the samples or something? the uw cam samples seem to have improper naming, the S25 Ultra is listed as having an f/2.2 camera and the S24 Ultra is listed as having an f/1.9 camera when it should be the other way around based on specs.

                                        And i find the overclocked CPU thing funny, people are gonna act like THAT is the reason why the S series phones are better and that they can "feel" the phone being far smoother cus of that when they cant even notice stutters lmao. The same people who say Antutu and other benchmarks should not be taken seriously cus only Chinese phones win will be quick to say that Samsung has higher points in CPU benchmarking. In reality all of em are just gonna throttle down after a while and the one which has better cooling/less heavy temperature control is gonna win in the end and Samsung has always fared the worst in these cases.
