Galaxy S25+

Released February 2025

The Galaxy S25+ is the larger standard model in Samsung's 2025 Galaxy S range, with a 6.7-inch QHD+ 120 Hz screen, the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy and a 4,900 mAh battery, suited to people who want a big-screen flagship without the S25 Ultra's S Pen or price.

What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is a powerful, comfortable phone with an excellent screen and long battery life, better than its predecessor's. The common complaints are how little has changed from the S24+ and cameras that have not improved since 2023; GSMArena also found charging slowish and felt the model sits awkwardly between the S25 and S25 Ultra.
