[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a middle-class single in the Midwest, the Galaxy S25+ meets all my needs handily. The screen is big enough to plan weekend trips and look up plot hikes, but not so big that it can't fit in your back pocket comfortably.
The battery can easily last more than 12 hours while exploring national parks or hidden gems among the lakes and bluffs. Not having to pack a backup battery or worry about it dying overnight on long journeys through Colorado, or Michigan's UP is a breath of fresh air.
The camera system is very suitable for outdoor adventures. The 50 MP sunset images on Lake Superior are fascinating and the telephoto lenses capture wildlife without getting too close. Night mode is great for taking photos of the campfire, which is suitable for documenting your memories from the campsite.
The Galaxy S25+ withstands the rapid condition changes of Minnesota and accidental falls during mountaineering ventures. And the price puts it right at the Sweet Spot of all junctures.
Galaxy AI makes my life more than an adventure. When working Compliance, it summarizes long edits and translates technical documents into an easy to digest format. My commute is productive because it reads and replies to emails for me with only voice commands! At home, it guides me through recipes and fixes when my hands are dirty.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I went from a Galaxy Note 10+ to the Samsung S25+. Wow! What a difference! The Galaxy AI is simply awesome! Have only played around with it so far, but I like it a lot. I got the 512G memory and it's so fast. No problems, so far. Will update if needed. Highly recommend this phone!

Familiar but refreshing, worth the upgrade

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For context for this review, I upgraded to the S25+ from the S8, so the jump in power and performance was extremely apparent. The shape of the phone is quite improved in my opinion, easier to hold, Wi-Fi calling is a lifesaver, and with more advanced cameras and a higher peak refresh rate and resolution screen. The new Galaxy AI features stand out as the major direction going forward, expecting this technology to continue to progress and evolve over time, and to continue learning how to adapt and integrate AI into my norms. Most importantly, it feels reliable and future proofed for a good while, I hope to make the most of it.

Functions much as the old version

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Largely this one feels not wildly different from the s20 plus I had previously. There are some Galaxy AI features integrated, but I don't really use those.
It's a nice lightweight piece of kit, the screen is nice, battery life seems reasonable. Wireless charging with magsafe could be better through a case, it's pretty hit or miss.
Pictures look pretty much like they did on the s20, but I'm not a photographer, so if there are subtle overt differences I'm not aware of them.
The native soft keyboard is pretty terrible. It's responsive, but not very good/ accurate.
Audio and video seem reasonable. I don't game on it, but the occasional video watching is about what I'd expect.
The option for two esims is nice, that's a step up from the s20 plus, which only allowed one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had Samsung phones for a few years now and each one has been great. The 25+ is an awesome phone. It has a little more than the 25, but not as many features as the 25 Ultra and if you don't really use them all the the 25+ is perfect. It's kinda the model that gets forgotten, but after having the 22 Ultra it's great. It's quick and both playing games and watching videos and movies etc. are great. They are clear and sound great. Listening to music the speaker are nice and loud. I love some of the features with the daily board that comes up at different times during the day. It's a quick way to look at weather, new or anything you might have scheduled. The new Galaxy AI is really cool as well. I am able to use it to search for items quickly when shopping and helps me when do searches on Google. The camera is great as well. I don't take a lot of photos, but when I do use it they are clear and look awesome. Even photos that are taken from a long distance look ok being that I am taking them from a distance, but I can clearly make out what I did intend to take a photo of. Calls are clear and I like the features for calling as well. So many others features come in handy when customizing my phone to fit me. Is a great phone and very glad a upgraded to the 25+!
