The redesigned Galaxy S25+ and S25 smartphones have a sleeker, more rounded look than their Galaxy predecessors, and that’s just the external update. Inside the Galaxy S25+ and S25 is Samsung’s new, ultra-powerful Octa-Core processor which can gun the engine at up to 4.47GHz of blistering speed.

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 is a great device, and it does genuinely raise the bar on smartphone AI. But for home and business users, the fact this is a device that’s all about AI has come too soon for its buyers to fully understand how to stay AI-safe, or even the questions they should ask. All that should be factored in to any decision to switch.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is shaping out to be a beast after we’ve put it through some testing. Not only does it have the brightest screen we’ve tested in a Samsung phone to date, but it just achieved a record-setting mark for battery life among Samsung phones we’ve tested — and all other phone releases this year can’t afford to come up short.
