Samsung Galaxy S25’s design remains largely unchanged, with some minor updates. For starters, the traffic light camera module on the back has black accents to differentiate it from its predecessor.

The phone has rounded corners and slim bezels with a centre punch cutout on the front. Furthermore, it has a flat display, and the compact design makes it easy to hold in the hand. I have the Icy Blue variant of the Samsung Galaxy S25 for review.

The phone’s back has a triple camera setup with black accents, similar to the Z Fold 6. It also has an LED flash and Samsung branding at the bottom.

Samsung’s approach seems to be, “Why fix if it ain’t broke?” making iterative updates to the design. The phone has an IP68 rating, apart from the Armor Aluminium 2 frame for protection.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 sports the same triple camera setup as last year. It has a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 10-megapixel telephoto with 3x zoom, and a 12-megapixel ultrawide-angle sensor. On the front, there is a 12-megapixel selfie camera.

During the day, the phone can take great photos with plenty of light and saturation. The 3x telephoto camera also has the same colour tuning as the primary. I enjoyed taking a lot of photos during my review of the Samsung Galaxy S25. However, the 12-megapixel ultrawide is decent at best, leaving much to be desired.

At night, the S25 shines thanks to improved software optimization and a dedicated night mode. Furthermore, the phone has a great dynamic range and exposure. Similarly, the 12-megapixel selfie shooter has great accuracy, with plenty of details and accurate skin tones.

Samsung Galaxy S25 packs a decent 4,000mAh battery. While other manufacturers are adopting technologies like Silicon Carbon to pack an even bigger battery inside their phones, Samsung seems reluctant to move on.

If you are a casual user, the phone can last a day. I got around a day of battery life during my Samsung Galaxy S25 review.

However, heavy multitaskers will need to charge it twice. You get the same 25W wired and 15W wireless charging support as last year. There is also no magnetic wireless charging support like Apple, which is disappointing.
