Samsung Galaxy S25 Review | Deserves The Hate?

85,590 View

Reviewing the Samsung Galaxy S25 after three weeks of play, including one week of using as my full-time phone. That camera tech, battery capacity and charging and most of the other Samsung Galaxy S25 specs are unchanged vs the S24. But does the Snapdragon 8 Elite performance make a big difference and does this smartphone deserve all the hate?

The main upgrade for the Samsung S25 is that Snapdragon 8 Elite performance. Gaming is now a significantly smoother experience, while battery life also seems to have improved for this 2025 Galaxy phone. Meanwhile you also have that AI-dense OneUI 7.1 experience on board the Samsung Galaxy S25. Great news if you like to translate stuff, or can't be bothered to read an entire webpage.

However, most other aspects of this Sammy smartphone are all too familiar. The Samsung Galaxy S25's camera isn't as impressive as many other flagship phones in 2025. I saw way too much noise in my photos, while pics of moving subjects and portrait shots usually fail to impress.

So, what's your thoughts on the Samsung S25? It's still one of the only mini mobiles out there, but the Xiaomi 15 and Pixel 9a aren't far off now!
