Samsung Galaxy S25 line compared

3 hours ago 1

Samsung revealed three new additions to its Galaxy smartphone line at Samsung Unpacked 2025 on Wednesday. The news didn’t bring too many surprises, as the line maintains its usual tiered system with the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. The news finds the hardware in line with the rest of the mobile industry by focusing many of the updates on the AI front — specifically, via Google’s Gemini platform.

That said, there are still a number of hardware distinctions between the models, hence the $500 price gulf between the S25 and S25 Ultra’s starting prices. Here’s a quick breakdown on what you’ll be getting at each price point. All three models are up for preorder now and set to start shipping February 7.
