Samsung Galaxy S25+ Review: Premium QHD+ Flagship With Galaxy AI

The Samsung Galaxy S25+ is a premium Android flagship with a 6.7-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor, 12GB RAM, 256GB storage, and a 50MP triple-camera system.

It offers a larger display and battery than the standard Galaxy S25 while remaining lighter and less expensive than the Ultra.

Samsung Galaxy S25+ Specs

Samsung confirms the 6.7-inch QHD+ display, 12GB RAM, 256GB storage, 50MP + 10MP + 12MP rear cameras and 190g weight for the Galaxy S25+.

Performance

The Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy delivers flagship-level performance for:

• Mobile gaming
• Multitasking
• Photo editing
• 4K and 8K video
• Social media
• Galaxy AI
• Productivity
• Demanding Android apps

The processor was customized for Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series and is also used for on-device AI processing.

Combined with 12GB RAM, the S25+ has more than enough performance for heavy everyday use.

6.7-Inch QHD+ AMOLED Display

The display is one of the biggest upgrades over the standard Galaxy S25.

You get a 6.7-inch 3120 × 1440 Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with an adaptive 1–120Hz refresh rate.

The QHD+ resolution provides excellent sharpness for:

• Movies
• Gaming
• Photos
• Web browsing
• Reading
• Social media

The adaptive refresh rate can automatically reduce or increase refresh rate depending on what is displayed, helping balance smoothness and battery efficiency.

Camera

The Galaxy S25+ uses a triple-camera system:

50MP Main Camera
12MP Ultra-Wide Camera
10MP Telephoto Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

The front camera is 12MP.

Samsung also supports:

• 3x optical zoom
• Up to 30x digital zoom
• Optical image stabilization
• 8K video at 30fps
• 4K slow-motion options

The camera system is versatile for portraits, landscapes, travel photos and everyday video.

Galaxy AI

Galaxy AI is a major part of the S25+ experience.

Samsung includes features such as:

• Now Brief
• Gemini Live
• Audio Eraser
• AI photo tools
• Cross-app AI assistance
• On-device AI processing

Samsung designed the S25 series around deeper integration between Galaxy AI, Google Gemini and One UI.

Battery Life

The Galaxy S25+ includes a large 4,900mAh battery.

Samsung rates it for up to 30 hours of video playback under its testing conditions.

The phone also supports 45W wired charging.

Samsung says a compatible 45W adapter can charge the S25+ to approximately 65% in around 30 minutes under its test conditions.

Wireless charging and Wireless PowerShare are also supported.

256GB Storage

This model includes:

256GB internal storage
12GB RAM

Samsung lists approximately 226.2GB of available storage before additional user-installed apps and files on this configuration.

There is no microSD card slot, so storage cannot be expanded later.

For most users, 256GB is a much more practical choice than 128GB.

Design

Despite its large 6.7-inch display, the Galaxy S25+ is only 7.3mm thick and weighs 190g.

That keeps it relatively thin and lightweight for a large flagship phone.

The Blueblack version gives the phone a darker premium appearance and was listed by Samsung Canada as an exclusive Samsung.com colour option.

Connectivity

The Galaxy S25+ includes:

• 5G
• Wi-Fi 7
• Bluetooth 5.4
• NFC
• UWB
• USB-C
• eSIM support

UWB is particularly useful with compatible tracking and smart-device accessories.
