Samsung Galaxy S25 review: it’s the same, but with AI

Samsung’s S25 and S25 Plus are solid phones, but their reliance on selling you AI is silly.

It's not a big year for the Galaxy S series by any means, but at the end of the day, Samsung has delivered another set of solid phones that are worthy of your money, so long as an S Pen and advanced cameras aren’t too tempting. These are some of the fastest phones I’ve ever used, with excellent response times to my taps, quick app loads, great multitasking, and plenty of power for gaming. All of the features seem to work the way you’d want them to: you can generate emails easily, you can edit photos and remove people with a few taps, the audio eraser cleans up noise levels well, and it’s easier than ever to summarize long articles (like this one).
