Not the plus, not the ultra, just the base model and as someone who appreciates the best flagship tech in the smallest form, this is a compelling and often forgotten part of the S25 lineup. It has the same flagship chip, the same new software, and most of the same specs as the S25 Ultra, and yet it is almost half the price at just under $800. Follow me on social media!

Additional review notes: 6g lighter, a little thinner, a little rounder Blacked out cameras now - looks less premium to me - comment your opinion Comes in four colors - icyblue, navy, mint, and silver shadow Still Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and color matched armor aluminum rails on the edges Still 6.2” FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X 120Hz Not sure why Samsung didn’t improve the resolution or give us the anti-reflective display we saw on the Ultra last year. FHD is fine I guess, but the anti-reflection would be nice Cameras are essentially the same as last year, with 50MP primary, 12MP ultrawide, and 10MP telephoto Still 4k60, 8k30 videos Now using the Snapdragon 8 elite chipset which is a 3nm chipset so hopefully we can experience some battery life improvements. Now with 12GB RAM up from 8GB last year plus either 128 or 256GB storage Sub6 & mm 5G Wifi7 4000mAh battery So on the outside, it almost looks like a clone of last year’s S24. So what is actually different? Well Samsung has four new AI focused features 1 - The Now Brief Much like my favorite Garmin feature and my favorite Pixel Watch feature, the Now Brief… Also on lock screen End of day “daily diary” or evening brief - shows photos you took, summary of the day’s events, etc The “Now Bar” shows you the pertinent information on the lockscreen E.g. “the game is starting in 15 minutes” or “your flight is in an hour” or driving directions, etc. - I think this is sort of similar to the iPhone live actions thing 2 - AI Agents So circle to search was great last year and I still use it everyday. Now you can search audio as well Samsung now has a similar feature called AI select - instead of searching though, you can make GIFs and stuff like that AI search through photo gallery AI search through settings - I would love it if this could share some goodlock stuff as well. Perhaps a sentence explaining how to get the niceshot options next to a screenshot or registar or whatever 3 - Integrated AI platform Long press to ask Gemini to do stuff and it can actually work between an expanding list of apps Ask personal concierge to do stuff - find game, add to calendar Summarize this video and put it in my samsung notes Find pet friendly vegan restaurants and text the list to my friend Apps - google, calendar, phone, messages, notes, clock, whatsapp, and spotify Phone transcription for calls (e.g. call notes) Cross-app experience 4 - Personalized AI “Personal data engine” A personal LLM that learns you - user info from weather, internet, gallery, health, wallet, calendar, files, smartthings Separate chipset in galaxy knox vault EXAMPLE: recommend routines (e.g. turn bluetooth on and off when you get in and out of your car) EXAMPLE: learns sleep patterns and adjusts environment around you - e.g. sleep and temperature correlation, or turn off light when you sleep EXAMPLE: 40% of Americans use TVs to fall asleep - this can turn off your TV when it detects you are asleep EXAMPLE: save energy while away This should get better the more you use it
