Samsung has officially launched its much-anticipated Galaxy S25 lineup at the Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event on Wednesday. The new range is aimed at competing with Apple’s iPhones and Google’s Pixel lineup, offering flagship features and cutting-edge technology.
Samsung Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ Specifications
The Samsung Galaxy S25 features a 6.2-inch Full HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz refresh rate, while the Galaxy S25+ comes with a larger 6.7-inch QHD+ resolution. Both models have the same display technology, providing vibrant colors and smooth scrolling, making them perfect for multimedia consumption and gaming.
Under the hood, both phones are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, Qualcomm’s powerful chip introduced in October 2024. This processor is designed to handle intensive tasks, gaming, and multitasking, making it a core feature for flagship Android devices.
In terms of RAM, both the S25 and S25+ come with 12GB of RAM. However, storage options vary between the two models. The Galaxy S25 offers 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage options, while the S25+ is available with 256GB and 512GB storage variants.
Camera System
The camera setup on both models remains largely unchanged from last year. They sport a 50MP primary sensor, 10MP 3x telephoto sensor, and a 12MP ultra-wide angle lens. On the front, both devices feature a 12MP selfie camera with an 80-degree field of view. This makes the Galaxy S25 series an excellent option for photography enthusiasts, as it offers versatile shooting capabilities with impressive zoom and wide-angle shots.
Battery and Charging
Battery life has been maintained with the 4,000mAh battery in the Galaxy S25 and the 4,900mAh battery in the S25+. The phones support 25W charging (S25) and 45W charging (S25+) for faster charging speeds. The S25 can reach 50% charge in about 30 minutes, while the S25+ can reach 65% in the same time, reducing downtime significantly for users on the go.

Both phones come with OneUI 7, Samsung’s latest skin on top of Android 15. Samsung promises 7 years of OS updates and security patches, ensuring long-term software support for the devices.
