Like the S25 Ultra, Samsung’s betting on AI to put a shine on the new Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus — that and some new colors, including navy, icy blue, mint and silver shadow, as well as online exclusives blue black, coral red and pink gold. Like the Ultra they get upgrades to the Snapdragon 8 Elite to feed the AI beast, but the Ultra’s runs at a higher frequency.
The cameras remain the same, with Samsung hoping to give them a bigger boost via updates to its AI processing for better noise analysis in videos and enhanced ability to differentiate between motion and still elements to boost its automatic adjustments.
The S25 Plus incorporates a 6.7-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED display and 4,900 mAh battery, in contrast to the S25’s 6.2-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED display and 4,000 mAh pack. Those seem to be the only differences between the two.
The Galaxy S25 starts at $800, while the S25 Plus starts at $1,000 and preorders are open now. They also ship Feb. 7.
