Samsung is back in the game — this time with a flagship that is not just more powerful, but truly smarter, thinner, and brighter. The Galaxy S25 Plus is not just an update, but a step into the future, where the design is more elegant, screens are brighter, cameras are smarter, and the smartphone itself suggests what you need. But the question is: how much better is it than the Galaxy S24 Plus? Let’s figure it out — we’ll compare everything from the display to the battery to make choosing easier.
Design
At first glance, the new model maintains Samsung's recognizable style, but upon closer inspection, some changes are noticeable. The smartphone has become thinner — now 7.3 mm versus 7.7 mm for the S24 Plus. The weight has also decreased to 190 g from 197 g, making the device more comfortable to use. Both smartphones have a sturdy body: the frame is made of reinforced Armor aluminum, with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front and back. This construction provides good protection from drops and daily wear. Additionally, both devices meet the IP68 standard — resistant to dust and water, and can safely withstand short submersion.
Display
Both smartphones feature bright 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays. The image is very sharp and vivid thanks to the high resolution of 3120 × 1440 pixels. This display is great for watching movies, gaming, or just comfortably working with content. Images look incredibly clear, colors are vibrant, and blacks are truly deep. With a refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, the interface works smoothly and efficiently.
The new device also received a technology called ProScaler, which uses AI capabilities to enhance display quality. This system intelligently adjusts sharpness and contrast depending on the content — for example, enhancing video details, making text more readable, and improving overall image quality even at low-resolution sources.
The display has become even brighter — its peak brightness now reaches 2600 nits. This means images remain clear and easy to read even under direct sunlight. The S24 Plus had a lower value, making the new display more appealing for users who value high-quality visuals.
Specifications
The new gadget boasts the advanced Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, built on a 3nm process. This gives the smartphone a noticeable boost in performance: CPU performance increased by 37%, and GPU by 30% compared to the previous model running on the Exynos 2400. The new neural processor is 40% faster, positively impacting all AI functions. Translations, photo processing, and other smart features now work faster and more accurately.
Both models have 12 GB of RAM, but the new one offers 256 GB and 512 GB storage options, like the S24 Plus, with one important difference — it now supports expandable storage. This gives users more flexibility and space for their data.
It’s worth noting that the new model supports the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard, making connections faster and more stable, even in environments with many connected devices. In contrast, the S24 Plus uses Wi-Fi 6E. In this regard, the S25 Plus is better prepared for future technologies and high loads.
One of the key features of the new device is the integration of artificial intelligence through the Galaxy AI platform. The "Circle for Search" function allows instant information retrieval — just circle the object on the screen, and the system immediately provides results. Fast, convenient, and without switching between apps. Additionally, the Gemini voice assistant has improved, now able to interact with apps and execute complex commands.
Battery
The battery capacity remains at 4900 mAh, but a more energy-efficient processor and optimized display have increased battery life. Both smartphones charge quickly: wired — up to 45 W, wireless — 15 W. Convenient and fast in any format. The S25 Plus also features new power management technology, allowing faster full charging and more efficient energy use.
Additionally, the Galaxy S25 Plus can share its charge with other devices via reverse wireless charging. For example, just place headphones or a smartwatch on its back panel, and they will start charging directly from the smartphone. A great option when accessories urgently need power and no cable is available.
Camera
The camera retains a triple module but has become even better. The main camera features a 50 MP sensor, complemented by a 12 MP ultra-wide module for capturing wide scenes and a 10 MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom for shooting distant subjects without quality loss. The combination is familiar, but thanks to the new image processing chip and improved AI algorithms, photo quality has noticeably improved, especially for night shots and HDR video with 10-bit color depth. The 12 MP front camera is also upgraded for sharper, more vivid selfies.
An interesting new feature is Audio Eraser, which allows editing volume levels of different sound categories in videos, removing unwanted noise or enhancing speech.
