Samsung Galaxy S25 series has finally been launched in India. The company has announced three models, a Standard, Plus and Ultra. The Galaxy S25 Slim – which was heavily rumored – has not been teased. But, the company has revealed a new Galaxy S25 Edge model, which is likely the same model that boasts about its slim profile. The latest Samsung Galaxy S25 series comes with a starting price of $799 (roughly Rs. 69,000) in the US. The Galaxy S25+ will be priced at $999 (roughly Rs. 86,000), while the Galaxy S25 Ultra is priced at $1,299 (roughly Rs. 1,12,299). The India prices of the new flagship phones are still under wraps, but you can check out the details below.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: full details
The new Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra takes a big step forward with upgrades in design, performance and functionality. Starting with its display, the phone has a larger 6.9-inch screen, up from 6.8 inches in the previous model, with more rounded edges that move away from the sharper Galaxy Note design. Despite this, the Ultra is lighter, weighing just 218 grams, while it still has the same 5,000mAh battery that has powered Ultra models since the Galaxy S20 Ultra.
One of the standout improvements is in the camera system. Along with the 200MP primary sensor, there is now also a 50MP ultra-wide camera, which replaces the 12MP sensor used in the earlier model. It also has a 50MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom and a secondary 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. The 12MP front-facing camera is unchanged but is expected to perform better for selfies and video calls.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra comes with 12GB RAM in all storage options – 256GB, 512GB and 1TB. This 12GB RAM configuration is consistent across the entire Galaxy S25 lineup, as Samsung has decided to eliminate the 16GB RAM variant this year. At the core of the device is the Snapdragon 8 Elite for the Galaxy, a custom-tuned version of Qualcomm’s latest flagship chipset for 2025, with an upgraded APU for better efficiency and performance. Additionally, Samsung claims to have improved heat management by increasing the size of the vapor chamber by 40 percent on the S25 Ultra, compared to a small but notable improvement of 15 percent on the S25 and S25+.
Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+: Specifications
The newly launched Samsung Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ take the hardware of their predecessors a bit further. The S25 has a compact 6.2-inch display, while the S25+ has a larger 6.7-inch screen. Both devices are equipped with a 50MP primary camera, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. Battery capacity remains unchanged, with the S25 featuring a 4,000mAh battery and the S25+ featuring a 4,900mAh cell. Charging speeds are also consistent, with 25W wired charging offered for the S25 and 45W for the S25+.
These devices run Android 15 with Samsung’s One UI 7 interface and promise extended software support, including 7 years of OS updates and security patches. The base model of the Galaxy S25 starts with 128GB of storage. Samsung is now offering 12GB RAM as a base model for the Standard and Plus versions. Plus, the Snapdragon 8 Elite powers the new devices.
New AI Features
The new phones are running on the latest One UI 7 custom skin based on Android 15, which the company says is built with AI.
Samsung is pushing the boundaries of AI integration in One UI 7 on the Galaxy S25 with a set of Gemini-powered features. At the heart of these updates is the introduction of “AI agents”, which streamline how users interact with their phones. Gemini now allows creating chains of multiple commands and app interactions to make complex tasks easier. Users can access Gemini directly by long pressing the power button, ensuring quick and intuitive access to its capabilities. Additionally, Samsung apps are being upgraded with Gemini extensions.
On the AI front, Samsung is bringing a number of new features to its Galaxy lineup. The “Generative Edit” in photo editing tools has been upgraded to not only remove people from images but also their shadows. The “Now Brief” feature provides a personalized daily summary to keep users informed, while Samsung Gallery now supports searching for images using natural language, making it easier to find specific photos. To tie it all together, an on-device “personal data engine” securely analyzes user data, with a focus on privacy, according to the company.
There’s also a new AI Select tool that suggests relevant AI features based on screen activity – such as providing writing assistance for summarizing, spell-checking, or adjusting text tone. On-device search now supports detailed queries, such as finding a photo of a dog in a red coat near a cake. Samsung has also added voice-triggered functions, such as activating the blue light filter when you mention eye strain, eliminating the need to navigate menus.
Another standout is live video, which provides step-by-step guidance by analyzing activities, such as giving baking instructions while rolling out dough. The AI system now supports translation in 20 languages for calls and personal conversations, increasing its usefulness.
