Samsung Galaxy S25 review

5 February 2025


Sort by:

Even if the Vivo X200 Pro mini isn't globally available, it should still have been mentioned as a great alternative to the Galaxy S25

    Finally, the phone I am waiting for.... a drop in price

    Discounted S25 means cheaper S24 and cheaper S23, which is basically the SAME phone

      I am waiting for the Galaxy S26... It'll probably have the same specs as the S25, but with a slightly different shade of blue

        I assume Samsung didn't bother to yoke all this horsepower and AI wizardries for help to improove IQ from cameras, like they improoved on S25Ultra. It's a shame S25 and S25+ are abandoned, just like predecessors. Pity monstrous Ultra gets all the tricks and attention. Those two shouldn't be in S line anymore.

            Seamless updates need a different system partitioning, and that can be only done in the factory when the phone is produced, not afterwards.

            So on paper the hardware can do it.

            As to why Samsung sticked so extremely long to the old method is a mystery.

              None since nobody make small phone anymore

                    Invetor, 06 Feb 2025The camera samples are... pretty okay? It's weird t... moreBetter than S25U? both are weak, and worse than competitive products like pixel, iphone, one plus... blurry details, a lot of noise... s24 series is better. samsung need to upgrade camera hardware.

                      "Still, for around €800-900/$800-900, you can get an iPhone 16"

                      Hell no. For that price the iPhone is way too outclassed to even consider it.

                        I love my little S25. It's a beast. Had it for a week now and I'm still amazed how much performance is packed in such tiny device. SD 8 Elite performance is insane. I didn't notice a single stutter in Genshin or Call of Duty on max settings and phone barely gets warm. It's like high end computer or a console in my pocket. Don't get fooled by compact size, because of tiny bezels screen is almost as large as big phones from few years ago. Screen, battery, cameras, all good. For me it's perfect. Glad I didn't go with the Plus model. Oh and I highly recommend getting official anti-glare protector, it's gamechanger. As for comments here nothing new. Just trolling, toxicity and vitriol.

                              Anonymous, 06 Feb 2025this camera is really bad... omg a lot of mid range phones ... morePhone cameras are heavily overrated. Comparing photos in store, made by several phones on one and the same stand/table shows that there are literally zero differences, regardless of price and maker/models.

                              At least zooming and inspecting the photos on phone's screen, if you print on posters that's another issue, but for that purpose I'd never pay and use a smartphone, if that's my job and intention. So discussing and idle chat here is one thing, reality is ..all phones produce same picture quality for at least 2 years.. with a bit of sharpening/softening touch here and there

                                        I don't get it. Why would you give it 4.3?
                                        It seems in the last year, your range for scores is 4.0 - 4.5. The worst phones get 4, and the best ones get 4.5.
