I don't think the Samsung Galaxy S25 cares that it's arrived in 2025 with hardware dating from last generation or even older. It's here with a single goal, and that's to build on the Galaxy S24's big AI push by backing up the hype around the tech world's biggest talking point with features any user could find useful. And there it really manages to shine.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra will remain the jewel in Samsung's non-folding smartphone crown, but the Galaxy S25 and the Galaxy S25 Plus that share much in common, may be the smarter purchase for most people. The new generation of Galaxy AI features, combined with possibly the best chipset of the year, make the S25 more powerful and simpler to use at the same time. Even some of the familiar parts of the Galaxy S experience feel new again when supercharged by new AI tools or the strong but efficient silicon running things.
