Samsung Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus hands-on: Levelling the playing field


The Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus are getting some Ultra-level upgrades without an upgraded price tag.

Samsung did include its Proscaler engine from the company's TV line, however, which automatically converts all video and photo content to match the phone's display resolution. While these numbers usually equate to a very hot phone, Samsung said it not only increased the vapor chamber size on the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus by 15% compared to the S24 line, but the company is also using a new Tailored TiM layer for extra thermal efficiency. Based on my hands-on time, these seem like solid flagship phones that are even more attractive since Samsung boosted important specs — like RAM — matching that of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, all without raising the price.
