Samsung has shaved-off between 6g &#8211; 15g, depending on the model you choose. The biggest weight loss is reserved for the Galaxy S25 Ultra.<\/p>\n<p>Under the bonnet of all three new smartphones is the first-of-its-kind customised Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy system-on-a-chip, which is specifically designed to power the phones&#8217; extensive AI features. The silicon was designed by teams from Samsung and US manufacturer Qualcomm.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the speediest chip to ever ship inside a Samsung smartphone, delivering 40% faster performance from the Neural Processing Unit (NPU), which predominantly handles on-device AI tasks, as well as a 37% increase in CPU and a 30% improvement in GPU compared to the Galaxy S24 series.<\/p>\n<p>This beefier chipset allows Samsung to crunch more AI tasks on-device. Some Galaxy AI features that previously had to be beamed to servers, like Generative Edit, now take place on the silicon inside the phone. Since you&#8217;re not reliant on a decent Wi-Fi or mobile data connection, you&#8217;ll be able to use these AI tricks on aeroplane mode.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"f928a\" data-rm-shortcode-id=\"7b9ac7325ed1347314947c081ba76824\" data-rm-shortcode-name=\"rebelmouse-image\" class=\"rm-shortcode rm-lazyloadable-image \" lazy-loadable=\"true\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 8500 5734'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-runner-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1751179752_105_a-hand-holding-the-galaxy-s25-ultra-while-it-prepares-a-generative-edit.jpg\" width=\"8500\" height=\"5734\" alt=\"a hand holding the galaxy s25 ultra while it prepares a generative edit\"\/>Galaxy AI tasks that required an internet connection on previous devices, like Generative Edit, now take place entirely on-device, thanks to the boosted performance of the custom-designed Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy SAMSUNG PRESS OFFICE Galaxy S25<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Display:<\/strong> 6.2-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz refresh rate<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dimensions &amp; Weight<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> 70.5 x 146.9 x 7.2mm, 162g.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cameras<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong><br \/>Rear: 12MP Ultra-Wide (F2.2), 50MP Wide (OIS, F1.8), 10MP Telephoto (3x Optical Zoom, F2.4).<br \/>Front: 12MP (F2.2)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Memory &amp; Storage:<\/strong> 12GB RAM with either 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB storage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Battery &amp; Charging<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong><br \/>Battery: 4,000mAh.<br \/>Charging: Up to 50% in ~30 mins with a 25W adapter; supports Fast Wireless Charging and Wireless PowerShare.<\/li>\n<li><strong>OS &amp; Connectivity<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> Android 15, One UI 7; supports 5G, LTE, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth v5.4.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water Resistance<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> IP68 rating.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Galaxy S25+<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Display:<\/strong> 6.7-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz refresh rate<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dimensions &amp; Weight<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> 75.8 x 158.4 x 7.3mm, 190g.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cameras<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong><br \/>Rear: Same as Galaxy S25.<br \/>Front: Same as Galaxy S25<\/li>\n<li><strong>Memory &amp; Storage<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> 12GB RAM with either 256GB or 512GB storage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Battery &amp; Charging<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Battery: Larger at 4,900mAh.<\/li>\n<li>Charging: Up to 65% in ~30 mins with a 45W adapter; supports Fast Wireless Charging and Wireless PowerShare.<\/li>\n<li><strong>OS &amp; Connectivity<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> Same as Galaxy S25.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water Resistance:<\/strong> IP68 rating<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Galaxy S25 Ultra<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Display<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> Larger at 6.9-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X, advanced adaptive refresh rate (1\u2013120Hz)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dimensions &amp; Weight<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> Bigger and heavier at 77.6 x 162.8 x 8.2mm, weighing 218g.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cameras<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong><br \/>Rear: Quad-camera system \u2014 50MP Ultra-Wide (F1.9), massive 200MP Wide (OIS, F1.7), dual telephoto lenses (50MP with 5x Optical Zoom and OIS; and a secondary telephoto with a smaller zoom).<br \/>Front: Same as other models (12MP).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Memory &amp; Storage<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> 12GB RAM with up to a massive 1TB, along with standard options of either 256GB or 512GB storage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Battery &amp; Charging:<br \/><\/strong>Battery: Largest at 5,000mAh.<br \/>Charging: Similar fast charging capabilities as the S25+ with a compatible adapter; supports Fast Wireless Charging and Wireless PowerShare.<\/li>\n<li><strong>OS &amp; Connectivity<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> Same as other models.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water Resistance<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> IP68 rating.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Got a busted Android phone gathering dust that you don&#8217;t know what to do with?
