Samsung Galaxy S25 Review

Design & Build

Sleeker & More Premium: Rumors suggest a titanium frame (even for the base S25) and a refined design with slimmer bezels. Flat Screens Across All Models? Samsung may ditch curved edges even on the Ultra, improving durability and usability. The Samsung Galaxy S25 including IP68 Water/Dust Resistance (standard).

Display

Samsung Galaxy S25 display Dynamic AMOLED 2X with LTPO 4.0 (1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate). Higher Peak Brightness (~3,000 nits for HDR content). Possible S25 Ultra Exclusive: A new “Anti-Reflective” coating for better outdoor visibility.

Performance (Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 / Exynos 2500)

Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 (US/China): 3nm chip, 40% faster CPU, 50% better GPU (early benchmarks). Exynos 2500 (Global): Samsung’s rumored “Dream Chip”—may finally match Snapdragon efficiency. AI & Gaming: Big focus on on-device AI (real-time translation, gaming upscaling).
