[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S25 is a sleek, compact flagship that punches way above its size. Powered by the custom Snapdragon 8 Elite, it delivers excellent performance and handles-demanding tasks smoothly. Its 6.2-inch FHD+ AMOLED display supports a 120 Hz refresh rate, making for fluid visuals.
On the camera front, you get a triple setup: 50MP main, 12MP ultra-wide, and 10MP 3x telephoto—able to capture solid photos, though some users report occasional softness on the ultra-wide. The 12MP front camera is good for selfies and video.
Battery life is decent for a small phone: a 4,000 mAh cell is paired with efficient hardware, and in real tests the phone lasted around 15 hours 43 minutes in a web-browsing test. Charging is a bit slow for a flagship—25W wired, 15W wireless.
One of the big upgrades is AI: the phone integrates Google Gemini through One UI 7, enabling smart automation and cross-app actions. But the AI features feel more like a nice-to-have than a game-changer right now.
Build quality is solid: it has an Armor Aluminum frame and IP68 water resistance. However, it doesn’t come with ultra-wideband (UWB), which may disappoint users who rely on SmartTags.
In short: if you want a small, powerful, and modern Android flagship, the S25 is one of the best options. But if charging speed or extreme battery endurance are your top priorities, it might not be the top pick.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this phone for just about everything, maps, phone, text, internet, email. It has a mind of its own, it will change and choose words that make no sense. In games it will lag. No a very good product for the price. Galaxy AI no so good just yet

It's nice, but is almost the same than my S23
on December 5, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S25 is a nice device, it gets the job done, has a great camera, and the AI features are definitely faster. However, the device feels almost the same as my Galaxy S23. In terms of hardware, there aren’t any major differences. I have to say the new AI features are better, but overall it doesn’t feel like a big upgrade. If you already own an S23, it might not be worth switching, but for anyone coming from an older model, it’s a solid choice.
