3.75/5Dec 3, 2025

A solid Galaxy S25 Plus-like phone at a lower price, but its Exynos chip, reduced RAM and lower brightness keep it from standing out. Buy only if the S25 Plus…

  • Iconic Galaxy design, same look as S25 series
  • Excellent 6.7-inch display
  • Seven years of security and OS updates
  • Solid battery life
  • Same battery and 45W charging as S25 Plus
  • Camera lacks fine detail for the price
  • Exynos 2400 lags behind flagship performance
  • Reduced 8GB RAM and lower peak brightness
  • Charging situation could be confusing

4.5/5Nov 20, 2025

A well-rounded mid-range phone with flagship-like design and battery life; gaming performance is its main weakness. Recommended for most buyers.

  • Flagship-level design and build with IP68 rating
  • Strong main and selfie cameras
  • Impressive battery life
  • Slick, intuitive One UI software
  • Seven years of software updates
  • Supporting cameras could be better
  • Occasional software bugs
  • Not suitable for demanding gaming
  • Display peak brightness underwhelming
  • No expandable storage

3.5/5Oct 16, 2025

A mid-range Galaxy with few upgrades over its predecessor; good value and software, but weak battery life and a scuff-prone back.

  • Robust software and Galaxy AI features
  • Well-rounded camera performance
  • 7 years of OS and security updates
  • Good value for its price
  • Charges pretty fast
  • Poor battery life
  • Back panel scuffs very easily
  • Few meaningful upgrades over the S24 FE
  • Peak brightness lower than the S24 FE
  • Processing performance considered weak

Specs are taken from the reviews' spec boxes — where they differ, we show the value most of them give; price is the US launch price of the base model. Read the originals for the full picture.
