Revamping features and powers of AI, the Samsung Galaxy S25 series debuted at the beginning of 2025 while keeping up with the great design and performance levels set by its predecessor. Hence, such comparison will be focused on each area uplifted and retained in it, including design, display, processor, the cameras, battery performance, software, and prices tied up for full analyses of these two flagship generations at length. Design and Build Quality The Galaxy S24 and S25 series keep all the features that were included in the above models.
The front and back panel are both covered by Gorilla Glass Victus 2, while the Armor Aluminum frame adds strength to the two devices. They continue to uphold the IP68 water and dust resistance standard across generations. The Galaxy S25 models come with a slightly smaller package, especially in the base model.
The standard Galaxy S25 is 146.9 x 70.5 x 7.
2mm in dimensions and weighs about 162 grams while the S24 measures 147 x 70.6 x 7.6mm and weighs 167 grams.
This will be just enough for that little touch of added portability while improving grip. The S25 Ultra adds one minor shift in ergonomics; it's thinner, lighter, features curved edges and has a sleeker, more symmetrical frame than its predecessor, the S24 Ultra. Furthermore, the previous rear camera housing design was discarded for a flatter and neater design with better integration with the body.
Display Technology Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays showcase fantastic color and crisp resolution on both the Galaxy S24 and the S25 series. Adaptive 120Hz (LTPO) refresh returns; both screens are quite smooth in transitions and in touch feedback. Also, the property of the peak brightness remains at an impressive level of 2,600 nits, thus guaranteeing visibility even in bright sunlight.
Following in the footsteps of its predecessors, the standard Galaxy S25 brings continuity in a 6.2-inch Full HD+ panel which also characterized the S24 itself. However, because of the thinner borders on the S25, the immersion on the screen is greatly improved.
The S25 Ultra goes to a level with a 6.9-inch QHD+ display which is a little larger than the previous ultra-model’s 6.8-inch panel, giving just that much better experience for video consumption and productivity.
At the same time, the display protection offered has been further upgraded in the S25 Ultra within the new Gorilla Armor 2, which enhances dropping and scratch resistance of the device. Performance and Hardware Chipset has been the main reach between the Galaxy S24 and S25. This is a major power-boosting difference by which the Galaxy S25 series will run on the new Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, Samsung's own custom version of the otherwise overclocked variant that promises as much as 35% gain to multi-core performance over the S24's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy.
This massively boosts performance in gaming, multitasking and AI applications. The Galaxy S25 series boosts the base RAM from 8GB in last year's S24 to a tremendous 12GB for enhanced memory management and instant switching across heavy apps. Meanwhile, Ultra models have retained the 12GB and 16GB RAM configuration for the higher variants, which relates to the power users' seamless experience.
Like internal storage, which is unchanged across the board with 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB for the normal models and 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB for the Ultra variants, all but microSD card slots were discontinued by Samsung for both series. Camera Capabilities The basic camera layout for the Galaxy S25 has been retained by Samsung, which uses a triple-lens arrangement consisting of a 50MP primary sensor, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. The selfie and video-call camera remains at 12MP.
The Ultra S25, however, received significant updates. The new 50MP ultrawide sensor replaces the 12MP in the S24 Ultra to boost substantially the quality of landscape and group photographs. Further enhancements, thanks to AI, add advanced functions like Virtual Aperture, Audio Eraser, and Scene Optimizer 2.
0, which allow for better photo processing, audio cleanup during video recording, and real-time lighting corrections. This AI hardware leverages the enhanced capabilities of the new chipset to speed up the processing of noise reduction tasks, yielding sharper photographs, clearer videos, and improved night shots without having to change much in the main camera hardware. Battery Life and Charging Samsung has maintained the same battery capacity between this and the previous generation.
The base models come with 4,000mAh batteries, while the Ultra models come with 5,000mAh batteries. The main reason that the S25 series benefits from slightly improved actual battery life, particularly during power-hungry use cases, is battery optimization through its newer Snapdragon 8 Elite. Battery-charging specifications also remain unchanged.
The standard S25 supports 25W wired and 15W wireless charging, while the Ultra model supports 45W wired and 15W wireless charging. Wireless PowerShare remains part of the kit and permits reverse wireless charging for earbuds or smartwatches. Software and AI Features The software experience is definitely among the highlights of the Galaxy S25 series.
Offered for the first time on Android 15 with One UI 7, including next-generation Galaxy AI Features, the tools are well ahead of what was introduced with the S24 series. Galaxy AI of S25 includes support for things like real-time call translation, note summarization, smart screen translation, and on-device personalized suggestions, which will work offline for select apps, ensuring maximum privacy and utility. Samsung further guarantees seven years of OS and security updates, matching the long-term software support that was first announced with the Galaxy S24.
This guarantees that both devices will remain secure and current for years to come. Pricing and Availability Samsung retains its premium pricing structure to launch the S25 and S24 series more or less at an equivalent price. The average pricing for S25 is $799, and for S25 Ultra, it is $1,299.
Nevertheless, the S24 series, being sold at discounted prices, is now at a lower price for being more available since the introduction of the S25, while still going strong on performance. The device can also be bought from major markets such as the US, Europe, India, and Southeast Asia via e-commerce platforms, retail stores, and carriers. Specification Comparison Table The Samsung Galaxy S25 series refines and enhances an already successful formula introduced by the Galaxy S24.
With a more powerful chipset, improved AI features, refined design, and better camera software, the S25 series stands as a strong flagship in 2025. However, for users prioritizing value, the Galaxy S24 remains an excellent choice with similar hardware and cost effective pricing. Both models deliver premium experiences, but the Galaxy S25 takes the cake in performance, efficiency, and innovation.
