Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
8.0/10
Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy S25+ retains a design familiar to its predecessor but offers significant performance improvements with the new Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. The upgraded AI features are a highlight, significantly enhancing the user experience. While the camera hardware mirrors the regular S25, the Plus model stands out with better battery life. I did notice minor heating during heavy usage, though that did not impact performance.
Pros
- Tall punchy display
- Galaxy AI features
- Battery life
- Log mode in video
Cons
- Charging speed is average (no charger too)
- Unchanged design
Design and display
+
Samsung and Apple follow a similar approach in designing the "Plus" variant in their flagship series. The Galaxy S25+ is simply an enlarged version of the regular Galaxy S25 (review), similar to Apple's approach with the iPhone 16 (review) and iPhone 16 Plus. The large size allows for a bigger battery, which also demands faster charging speeds to ensure a consistent user experience across both the Galaxy S25 and S25+. The latter also offers a higher screen resolution to maintain the same display quality as the regular model, regardless of the phone's size.

Cameras

The Galaxy S25+ boasts the same camera system as last year's, featuring a 50MP primary camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and a 10MP telephoto camera. The front retains a 12MP snapper inside the hole punch cutout. The only changes are the software side of things to improve the image quality and post-production tools.

Performance and software
+
Like the Galaxy S25 and S25 Ultra, the Plus variant also features the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC with 12GB of RAM. The new chipset ensures a big leap in performance, resulting in smoother animations and of course, smarter AI. Even based on benchmark numbers, the Galaxy S25+ attains significantly higher scores than any of its predecessors.

Galaxy AI
+
However, the new iteration is all about the AI-backed features, which remain consistent across the Galaxy S25 series. Some of these features will likely come to the older variants via firmware updates, but the AI camera tools, like the Audio Eraser, will likely be exclusive to the current lineup. Until that happens, the Galaxy S25 series remains the leader in the market (even against Apple and Google) for its AI features.

Battery and charging
+
As mentioned, the Galaxy S25+'s bigger form factor allows for more battery capacity. However, Samsung, unlike OPPO and OnePlus, has yet to utilise the new-age battery tech (silicon-carbon batteries) for increased capacity without adding extra weight or thickness. As a result, the Galaxy S25+ includes the standard 4,900mAh battery with 45W charging and 15W wireless charging support (Qi2 compatible). Overall, its battery performance is reliable and you can easily expect a full-day backup with moderate settings (120Hz enabled, AOD disabled). It also offered a respectable backup on the PCMark battery test, if not the best. However, the charging speeds remain average, especially if we compare it with the likes of OnePlus, Vivo, or iQOO.
