Pedzio, 12 Feb 2025Why are the bezels on this larger than the plus model??? F*... moreBtw, I'm not hating cause i think other brand is best, it's cause they can be better and i want Small flagships so bad, but they are the only one doing it good but still leave so many things to be desired

Fragjul, 11 Feb 2025It actually seems that all S25 got M13 panel in the end:
h... moreLooks like they have 'M13+' panels (at least the Ultra, can't find out whether the base and Plus models do too);

Note; mind the words "seems" and "think", which I used.
You had a strong statement though, do you have a reliable source or a link from Samsung?

Fragjul, 09 Feb 2025Agree, and it would be good to know which browser is used b... moreBy the way, GSMArena have now changed their 'Active Use' battery score for all three S25 variants 'following further retesting', whatever that means...so now the base S25 scores 13:09h, which is only around 1 and a 1/4 hours less than the S25+.

Fragjul, 09 Feb 2025Agree, and it would be good to know which browser is used b... moreI asked GSMArena what browser they use, and they said Chrome, for all their battery tests. So maybe that does indeed have an affect on the battery life and in part explains why Tom's Guide found the battery life to be better, as they used Samsung Internet. So it might be better for the end user to use Samsung Internet over Chrome if they want to prioritise battery life.

I am very happy with my s25 256gb. I come from an s21 FE and that is a big step to an s25. Great introductory price whore in the Netherlands also a 256gb for the price of a 128gb.
plus a €100 discount after registration via email on a new s25 series. In combination with a mobile contract the price is
really good. only €550 euros (after deduction temporary €100 discount)
Initially had this device deleted because I thought it was in an unaffordable category, but nothing could be further from the truth.
It is fast, very fast. 0.0 stutter. screen is more than fine, and the battery just works very well. It is light and not too big.

It is a very big disappointement indeed. Will hold my S23 for sure. Samsung is disppointing. May see the Xiaomi 15 if it arrives in Europe at fair price.

Davide, 08 Feb 2025S25U battery test showed an improved of 1 hour over the S24... moreI think the S25U is the only one with the new screen panel M14, more efficient. S25 and S25+ remain with the old M13 panel unfortunately.

Fragjul, 09 Feb 2025Agree, and it would be good to know which browser is used b... moreTrue, Tom's Guide use the default browser, which I presume is Samsung Internet on the S25? Not sure what GSMArena use though.

mtu, 08 Feb 2025Nah that makes zero sense whatsoever. So you're saying... moreAgree, and it would be good to know which browser is used by each websites.
Does tomsguide use Chrome or Opera for all? Default browser varying by manufacturer?
What about GSM Arena?
I am pretty sure this would explain why results differ so much between tests for S25.
i.e. Samsung Internet Browser is likely more optimized for Samsung devices (logical but the browser is never mentioned in battery tests).

[deleted post]I think optimization is actually playing a big role. Look how iPhone 16 performs so much better than S24/S25 with a smaller battery. Granted, different systems but the chips, screens and modem cannot be that different.
