[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from a S21FE. The S25 has been trouble free and I am impressed with battery life, (all day plus). It's noticeably faster opening and navigating apps. Seamless actions across apps is impressive.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The s25 has an amazing batery life, I am getting about 6 hours of SOT daily, with one single charge, and usually don't charge the phone until the next morning. For this phone to be the smaller size, I got used to the display quick, I had the s22 ultra. The single hand mode it's great for typing, and watching content is a breeze. The OS is so smooth, and launching the camera app as wrll as taking pictures is sooo much smoother than my previous phone.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In love with the S25. Well worth the upgrade. Pictures are great, speed is great, AI is learning me fast which is helping my disabled self tremendously. Seemless across my apps.
So lightweight compared to the S20FE.
I was hearing rumors of overheating. None here.
I do wish I got the plus just because of screen size. My eyes are old. LOL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my phone for basics things like media consumption and lite gaming. The battery lasts all day on a single charge. AI features like image eraser is really good, audio eraser is good but could use a bit of refinement. AI suggestions for typing would be better if you didn't have to click after writing if you could get suggestions while typing it would be better. Camera and screen are good.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Samsung Galaxy S25 for a little while now, and here’s my honest take on it.
Design & Display Right off the bat, I love how compact and lightweight this phone feels. The 6.2-inch FHD+ AMOLED display is bright and smooth, making scrolling and watching videos super enjoyable. It’s great for one-handed use, but I do miss the slightly curved edges from older models—this one feels a bit more flat. Still, the build quality is solid.
Performance This phone is fast. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Elite keeps everything running smoothly, whether I’m multitasking, gaming, or editing photos. Apps open instantly, and I haven’t noticed any slowdowns. Samsung’s One UI 6.1 is polished and easy to navigate, but there’s still some pre-installed bloatware, which is a bit annoying.
Battery Life Battery life has been surprisingly good. I can go almost two days on a single charge with moderate use (social media, streaming, messaging). Heavy gaming drains it quicker, but the 45W fast charging helps top it up fast. No charger in the box, though, which is frustrating.
Camera The 50MP main camera takes really sharp and vibrant photos, especially in good lighting. Low-light shots are decent, but I was hoping for better improvements. The telephoto lens (3x zoom) is solid, but I wish they had included the 5x zoom from the Ultra model.
Final Thoughts Overall, I’m really happy with the Galaxy S25. It’s fast, compact, and has a great display, but I do wish the camera had more upgrades and S
