The Samsung Galaxy S25 is a series of high-end Android-based smartphones developed, manufactured, and marketed by Samsung Electronics as part of its flagship Galaxy S Series. They collectively serve as the successor to the Samsung Galaxy S24 series. The S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra models were announced on January 22, 2025, at the Galaxy Unpacked event in San Jose, California and are expected to be released on January 31, 2025.[6][7] Additionally, a phone called Galaxy S25 Edge was teased, however further details about the phone are not yet known.
Lineup
[edit]The Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup includes 4 different models of phones, the Samsung Galaxy S25, Samsung Galaxy S25+, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. Although not much is known about the S25 Edge (as Samsung only teased it on stage), what we do know is that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is a slimmer version of the normal S25, and marks a new addition to the line up of the S Series of smartphones and the return of Galaxy S Edge series since 2016's Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
The S25 and S25+ share the same display size as their predecessors, whereas the top-end S25 Ultra has a slightly larger display.[8] The flagship S25 features a flat 6.2 inch (155 mm) display.[9] The S25+ has similar hardware, but with a larger 6.7 inch (168 mm) form factor.[10] The S25 Ultra is slightly larger than its predecessor, with a screen size of 6.9 inches (175 mm).[11] The S25 Ultra also features smoother edges, making it align more with the rest of the Galaxy S Series of smartphones.[12] The S25 lineup of smartphones is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which, unlike previous generations of the S Series, will be used in all S25 smartphones worldwide.[13]
Design
[edit]The S25 and S25+ smartphones have an aluminium body and a glass back, similar to the design of their predecessors. They both use Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for their protection. They come in 4 (four) standard colours: Icy Blue, Mint, Navy and Silver Shadow, with an additional 3 (three) colours being available only through Samsung's online website: Pink Gold, Coral Red and Blue Black.[14][15]
The S25 Ultra has a titanium body, and a glass back, similar to the S24 Ultra. The S25 Ultra comes in 4 (four) standard colours: Titanium Silver Blue, Titanium Black, Titanium White Silver and Titanium Grey, as well as 3 (three) additional colours that are only available through Samsung's online website: Titanium Jade Green, Titanium Jet Black and Titanium Pink Gold.[16]
