Launch or reference price for the Samsung Galaxy S25. Current retail prices vary by store and country.
In an era dominated by unwieldy 220g phone giants, the Galaxy S25 is an absolute breath of fresh air. It weighs a featherlight 162 grams, measures a slender 7.2mm, and yet refuses to compromise on processing muscle: Samsung upgraded standard RAM to 12GB paired with the custom 4.47GHz Snapdragon 8 Elite worldwide. The 6.2-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED display provides full 1-120Hz fluidity and 2600 nits peak brightness. Unlike the base iPhone 16, Samsung retains a dedicated 3x optical telephoto lens and an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. While 25W charging is dated, this remains the gold standard for compact Android phones.
168 verified specification points across 19 categories.
The overall 8.2 is built from ten category scores. Here is the reason behind each one, tied to this phone's own figures.
Despite our efforts to keep the Samsung Galaxy S25 specifications complete and correct, mistakes get through. If you see anything wrong or missing on this page, please— every report is read, and corrections are made to the record itself.
