Flagship DNA
The Samsung Galaxy S25 is a compact flagship that gets almost everything right. Its Snapdragon 8 Elite performance, excellent 120Hz AMOLED display, versatile cameras, premium build, IP68 rating and 7 years of OS and security updates make it a genuinely long-term phone.
The biggest compromises are the 4,000mAh battery and 25W charging, while the ultrawide camera is less impressive than the main and telephoto cameras. Samsung also doesn't include a charger in the box.
Overall, one of the best compact Android flagships for performance, cameras and long-term use — especially if you don't need all-day heavy battery life.
