Samsung Galaxy S25 Series: Specs, Release Date, Price, Features

Samsung uses Corning’s new Gorilla Armor 2 glass on the S25 Ultra, which offers 29 percent better fracture resistance than the original Gorilla Armor on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Interestingly, Samsung says it has seen a 60 percent reduction in screen repairs since the S24 S23 seriesWhich could mean the S25 is more durable.

The phones are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which debuted in such phones Honor Magic 7 Pro And OnePlus 13. It will have a processor all The Samsung Galaxy S25 series of phones is worldwide, unlike previous years when Samsung opted for its own Exynos chip in some markets. Samsung claims that this chip offers a 37 percent CPU upgrade, 30 percent graphics boost and 40 percent improved neural processing unit compared to the S24 series.

Samsung and Qualcomm collaborated to optimize the chip and that close tie enabled new features like ProScaler. On the S25 Ultra and S25+, this feature can upscale images on the screen to match the display resolution. Say you’re browsing Instagram and someone uploads a 1,080p photo—it’ll be upscaled to QHD+.

The vapor chamber cooling system is larger on all three – a key component to keep phones from overheating during intense gaming sessions – with the S25 Ultra’s chamber getting a 40 percent size bump. Samsung also says that a new “optimized thermal interface element” sitting on top of the chip leaves zero gaps for air, drawing heat from the processor directly into the vapor chamber cooling system to boost performance and reduce battery stress.

Arguably the most disappointing part of the hardware story is the lack of support for Qi2 charging. This is New version of Qi wireless charging standardwhich borrows many features from Apple’s MagSafe charging system. It embeds magnets into the phone, allowing users to attach the phone magnetically A Qi2 charger For more efficient and faster wireless charging and its convenience Magnetic objects to improve the phone. I expect to see several Qi2 Android phones in 2024, but we’ve got them all HMD had Skyline. Now, in a move that will make things even more confusing, the Galaxy S25 series is being classified as “Qi2 ready”.

This is a new category for phones will not There are built-in magnets but there will be official and third-party Qi2 cases with magnets inside, which will bring essentially, if not the same magnetic experience as a proper Qi2 device. Android users who want the utility of MagSafe To depend on this case So far, it’s a shame that Qi2 isn’t part of the brand’s new phones yet.

Camera specs remain pretty much the same, with the exception of the ultrawide on the Galaxy S25 Ultra—it now packs 50 megapixels instead of 12. Samsung says it enhances the quality of macro photos There are some other interesting changes in the image processing algorithm. Samsung’s next-generation ProVisual engine uses a “spatial-temporal filter” to distinguish between moving and stationary objects so that photo subjects are not blurred when shooting in low light. Double-analysis noise removal analyzes each pixel for noise, looks at the eight pixels around it, and removes the noise to clean up the image.
