Samsung has launched its flagship series, the Galaxy S25. The company has continued its tradition with three phones in this series: Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra. I've been using the Galaxy S25 for a few days, and it's my favorite in this series.
I'm not just saying this for the Galaxy S25, but for the smallest phone in the Samsung Galaxy S-series. If you like a compact phone, you'll enjoy this. To simplify, if you like the size of the iPhone (12, 13, 14, 15, 16), its dimensions are similar.

doesn't offer much difference in design from the S24, apart from camera rings that set it apart from the previous variant. The phone is compact and powerful. Even if the design seems unchanged from the S24, the software and hardware offer something new.

Last year, many complained that Samsung didn't provide a Snapdragon processor, but the company has addressed this in the Galaxy S25 with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, now standard in all versions. The smartphone is both small and lightweight, making it easy to use with one hand.
This smartphone features a Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with 120Hz refresh rate support. It boasts a triple rear camera setup of 50MP + 10MP + 12MP. The camera quality is excellent, capturing stunning photos both day and night. Portrait shots are exceptional, offering natural tones without unnecessary color boosts.

If budget isn't an issue for you, then this is a value-for-money device. With the base variant itself, you get 12GB RAM and 256GB of storage. While some brands might offer 8GB RAM + 128GB storage at a lower price, don't be tempted to see it as a cheaper option. Plus, with 7 years of updates guaranteed, you can keep it up-to-date until 2032.
