Galaxy Unpacked 2025 results: brief characteristics of new products
01/22/2025
So, at today's event, as expected, Samsung introduced 3 new smartphones - Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+: what's new
In the Galaxy S25 presentation, Samsung highlighted One UI 7, new AI features, and the Personal Data Engine. Combined, the software could account for more than 50% of the cost of the Galaxy S25 and S25+.
However, the new products also received poland number data updated hardware. The devices are powered by the specially designed Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset for Galaxy, which provides 37% higher CPU performance, 30% better GPU performance, and 40% faster neural network processing compared to the previous generation.
– the minimum configuration of 8GB is a thing of the past. There are 128GB, 256GB and 512GB storage options to choose from, with the base S25 remaining the only one with the minimum storage.
For improved cooling, smartphones are equipped with evaporation chambers, the area of which has been increased by 40%, and a new thermal interface material has been used.
The display sizes remain the same: 6.2 inches in the S25 and 6.7 inches in the S25+. The thickness of the devices has been reduced by 0.4 mm, and the weight has become slightly less, without compromising the battery capacity: 4000 mAh in the S25 and 4900 mAh in the S25+. The wired charging speed is also unchanged: 45 W in the older model (65% in 30 minutes) and 25 W in the younger one (50% in 30 minutes). Wireless charging according to the Qi standard supports power up to 15 W.
The S25+ screen offers a resolution of 1440p+, while the standard version has a resolution of 1080p+. Both devices have LTPO OLED panels with an adaptive refresh rate of 1-120 Hz.
The main cameras have not received any hardware changes: a 50MP main sensor, a 10MP telephoto with 3x zoom and a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens, familiar from previous models. However, software processing has been improved using the ProVisual Engine, now 10-bit HDR recording is available by default and a new Galaxy Log function for more flexible video processing. An Audio Eraser tool has also been added, allowing you to remove unwanted noise in recordings. For photos, advanced Expert RAW capabilities are available, including depth of field settings, and Portrait Studio allows you to create more realistic facial expressions.
Also among the innovations are the Armor Aluminum frame made of recycled materials and batteries containing at least 50% recycled cobalt. The smartphones meet the IP68 protection standard. There is 5G (including mmWave in select regions), Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 on board. However, the S25, as before, did not receive UWB support.
The Galaxy S25 software includes One UI 7 and guaranteed support for 7 years. An important innovation is post-quantum cryptography, which ensures data protection even in the future in the event of the emergence of quantum computers.
The Personal Data Engine allows the device to process AI tasks locally, such as finding photos based on voice commands, without sending data to the cloud. The new Now Bar on the lock screen offers personalized recommendations based on your daily activity.
The power button now supports Gemini, the voice assistant that works with Samsung and Google apps, as well as some third-party apps like Spotify. The device comes with a 6-month Gemini Advanced subscription and 2TB of Google cloud storage.
Circle to Search has been improved to recognize phone numbers, email addresses, and URLs. Call Transcript helps summarize and structure your call history, and Write Assist automatically formats your notes. Drawing Assist turns sketches and text descriptions into images.
At the start of sales, the models are offered in Navy, Silver Shadow, Icyblue and Mint colors, and exclusively on Samsung.com - in Blue Black, Coral Red and Pink Gold.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: what's new
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra lives up to all expectations. The new smartphone features a more ergonomic design: Samsung has smoothed the corners of the case to make the device more comfortable to use.
Thanks to this, the Galaxy S25 Ultra has become thinner (8.2 mm vs. 8.6 mm) and lighter (218 g vs. 233 g) compared to its predecessor S24 Ultra. The body, as before, is made of titanium and is available in several color options. In addition, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is the first to receive Corning Gorilla Armor 2 protective glass, which is stronger than the previous generation ceramic glass and has anti-glare properties.
The display remains unchanged – a 6.8-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with a refresh rate of 1–120 Hz, Vision Booster technology, and adaptive color reproduction.
The device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor for Galaxy with 12GB of RAM and a 40% larger evaporative cooling system. The new chipset delivers a 40% faster NPU, 37% more powerful CPU, and 30% faster GPU compared to the previous generation.
With the accelerated NPU, AI capabilities are even broader. Hold down the side power button to summon Gemini. The updated Circle to Search feature now recognizes phone numbers, emails, and URLs for instant action. AI agents analyze text, voice, images, and video to help you find the data you need and suggest next steps, like sending a GIF or adding an event to your calendar.
Call Transcript helps transcribe and summarize calls, Write Assist formats notes, and generative editing is now available on the device itself.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra uses the Personal Data Engine to process data directly on the device, ensuring its privacy in the Knox Vault. It includes post-quantum cryptography, which protects information from potential threats from quantum computers in the future.
Now Brief offers personalized recommendations and a summary of the day, including financial news, weather, and events. Now available on the lock screen.
All these features run on One UI 7, built on Android 15. Samsung promises 7 years of OS and security updates.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra's cameras have undergone minor changes: a new 50MP ultra-wide-angle camera with an aperture of f/1.9 has been added. The rest of the camera specifications remain the same: a 200MP main camera (f/1.7), a 50MP telephoto with 5x zoom (f/3.4) and a 10MP 3x zoom (f/2.4). The front camera is 12MP (f/2.2).
