Samsung Galaxy S25 series hot take | Infinium-tech
Samsung’s first unpack of the year is definitely its most important event. It set tone for most of the smartphone market in the first half of 2025 and introduced the Galaxy S25 Ultra, the head of Samsung for the year. The Galaxy S25 and S25+ were tagged with the supreme appreciation that we can give them. Oh, and Samsung teased a Galaxy S25 edge and while it is around four sides, it is very low with its famous names.
So without further movement, here is on our summer chain.
A UI 7 is great, AI finally looks attractive
The first half -hour unpacked presentation of Samsung’s 1 hour and 10 minutes January 2025 was all about a UI and AI, so it’s only correct that we start with the same.
For the first time, Samsung delayed one of its UI updates from late falling to the middle-winter. Seeing the final result, that delay seems worth it. The new tech on Samsung’s UI looks fresh and, significantly, fast. And it brings unprecedented features, such as a vertical app drawer – just imagine all possibilities!
On one side, jokes, new Gemini – AI Smart seems worthwhile – not only gimmick. Circle to search can now recognize phone numbers, emails and URLs for quick tasks. Multimodal AI agents explain lessons, speeches, images and even videos for natural interaction – you can ask Gemini to find a specific photo in the gallery, for example. The search is suggesting your next stage – sharing a gif, or saving an event.
Natural language input allows you to control some phone features. For example, you can find your gallery and ask AI assistant to take photos from your journey to a particular place. You can also say to make it font if it is too small!
We love the new design of Galaxy S25 Ultra
The Galaxy S Ultra entered its rectangular phase in early 2022 with the Galaxy S22 Ultra. It was specific and unique, and it used to fully lend himself to a pen-equipped phone.
But the new round-off shape looks smart and more importantly, it brings a big improvement in handling. The Galaxy S25 Ultra is a large phone and makes it a comfortable in the hand.
Impressively, Samsung made the display 0.1-inch big, the phone 0.4 mm thin, and 14G lighter, without durability or battery-like internal shape!
The best performance gets even better
Despite the Galaxy S24 Ultra rumors, the market remained the only phone with an anti-reflection display on the market, in which other manufacturers will come out with the same technology. Low-contemplative performance proved amazing for external visibility, as our summer battery test proved.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra could easily sit on that lead, but it brings another better panel – Gorilla Armer 2 retains its anti -reflection coating, but is brighter and more durable.
The new 50mp ultravide looks good on paper, but the initial samples are not confident
Samsung upgraded only the ultravide angle camera on the Galaxy S25 Ultra – Ultra, Plus and other 12 cameras of Vanilla remained unchanged. Gone is a 12MP sensor with f/2.2 optics, a new 50MP imagers with a luxurious f/1.9 lenses. The focal length remains at 120 °.
The high-megapixel camera opens 8K video and on paper, should produce ultravides with more detail, while its advanced aperture should distribute good shots in low light.
However, we are not seeing it in our first samples. We have two camera comparisons between the Galaxy S24 Ultra and S25 Ultra (Part 1, Part 2) and we cannot easily say that the new camera is better. Older seems to make sharp photos with a more expansion.
This is a theme – the main 200MP camera enjoys the new (and probability rapidly) of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Chip and yet, we are seeing faster and more detailed pictures from the old phone.
Galaxy S25 Ultra is the worst ultra in the world in photography
Samsung Ultra compared Xiaomi 14 Ultra, Vivo’s X100 Ultra, Huawei’s Pura 70 Ultra, or OPPO, find out the X7 Ultra and it will finally come out in overall imaging performance. This is not a good look for the company that invented the segment.
S Pen Dowgrad, really ???
Horriously, Samsung snatched the Bluetooth connectivity from S Pen in the Galaxy S25 Ultra. There is also no accelerometer, which means no air action. S Penn used to be the best distant shutter in the world and now it’s just a stylus. Very strange.
Only Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy
Snapdragon 8 Elite is a major step from Snapdragon 8 General 3. “For Galaxy” shows a slightly more clock speed on the main 2x Oron V2 Phoenix L core, GPU and NPU. The “original” SD8 Elite placed him at 4.32 GHz, while the Galaxy-Exclusive CPU runs on 4.47 GHz.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
Fans worldwide will be happy that every Galaxy S25 unit worldwide uses this chipset.
Galaxy S25 and S25+ are boring
In addition to the new chipset, the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ are unchanged from their predecessors. They have the same display, the same battery, the same charging speed and the same camera.
They did not find anti-reflexes, new ultravide cameras, or even an autofocating ultravide. But hey, the Galaxy S25 now comes with a 12GB RAM similar to plus and ultra.
No global version with 16GB RAM
But seriously, only 12GB of RAM on the Galaxy S25 Ultra seems abusive. Pixel 9 Pro is 16GB, Xiaomi 14 Ultra Tops 16GB, while OnePlus 13 also has RAM up to 24GB.
Samsung Galaxy S25
Yes, technically a 16GB Galaxy S24 is ultra, but you cannot buy one outside Korea, China and Taiwan. Once again, this is not a good look.
Now there is a Galaxy S25 Edge
Samsung teased the Galaxy S25 Edge. The S25 is rumored as slim, the edge revives a line of handheld by Samsung. The first Galaxy Note was the edge with a sloping right edge that opens additional functionality like the edge screen. Others, such as the Galaxy S6 Edge, S6 Edge+, and the Galaxy S7 had two sloping edges that then felt fast as a knife.
The new Galaxy S25 edge looks comparatively blunt. It looks like a galaxy alpha.
Are there many models now?
There can also be at least one Galaxy S25 model. If Samsung later brings out a Galaxy S25 Fe out, this will make the series even more difficult to navigate. We can be ready for a world where the smallest galaxy is an unnecessary in the middle.
