Samsung Galaxy S25 512GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
8.0/10
Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy S25 is a promising flagship smartphone that delivers on most counts. Powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite, the handset performance outshines the iPhone 16, whereas its versatile camera system, featuring a dedicated telephoto lens, captures vibrant and detailed photos. The display is a visual treat, and extended software support is enhanced by practical AI-driven upgrades. However, its upgrades, although thoughtful, are mostly incremental. Faster charging speeds and a larger battery would have made a meaningful difference.
Pros
- Premium & compact design
- Excellent performance
- Reliable cameras
- New & improved AI features
Cons
- Slow charging speeds
- Battery life could have been better
Design and display
+
For the Galaxy S25, Samsung has retained the flat-edge design language from last year, featuring individual camera rings with subtle refinements. The camera rings now resemble those on the Galaxy Z Fold6 (review), incorporating a patterned edge for added flair. The device is also marginally slimmer, measuring 0.4mm thinner than its predecessor, and lighter by approximately 4 grams compared to the Galaxy S24 (review). These refinements make the S25 more comfortable to hold and easier to carry in your pocket.

Cameras
+
The Samsung Galaxy S25's camera setup remains unchanged as well. The handset boasts triple rear cameras, comprising a 50MP primary sensor, a 12MP ultrawide sensor, and a 10MP 3x telephoto lens. The front camera is a 12MP sensor in the punch-hole setup.

Performance and software
+
Unlike its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S25 is powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC instead of the in-house Exynos chipset. This custom Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC for Galaxy has been overclocked, which is noticeable in the synthetic benchmark tests. The handset achieved 21,85,567 on AnTuTu, which analyses the overall performance of the smartphone. This is roughly 20 percent more than the iPhone 16's performance. Moreover, on Geekbench, the Samsung smartphone clocked over 10,000 in the multi-core test which is the highest ever for a smartphone yet.

Galaxy AI features
+
Samsung has also introduced several Galaxy AI-powered features, including Now Brief and Now Bar, which provide contextual information directly on your home and lock screens. Now Brief summarises your day by displaying weather updates, upcoming events, and daily activities. Meanwhile, Now Bar offers real-time insights, such as currently playing music, turn-by-turn navigation with estimated departure times from Google Maps, and live sports score updates for your favourite teams. This works on-device, along with other Galaxy AI features.

Battery and charging
+
The Samsung Galaxy S25 retains the same 4,000mAh battery with 25W wired and 15W wireless charging support as its predecessor. Battery life wasn't Galaxy S24's biggest strength, and the story remains almost similar this time. The latest carbon-silicon technology allows for higher capacity without increasing the size, but Samsung has chosen to stick with traditional lithium-ion batteries instead. This resulted in the Galaxy S25 scoring 11 hours and 49 minutes on the PCMark battery test, which is decent but lower than most smartphones within the segment.
