Performance:

The Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy on 3nm with custom Oryon V2 cores and 12GB RAM delivers some of the strongest performance available in any Android flagship. The dual prime cores at 4.47GHz provide exceptional single-thread performance for demanding apps and games. The Adreno 830 GPU at 1200MHz handles graphically intensive gaming with substantial headroom. The 128GB base variant uses UFS 3.1 storage while 256GB and 512GB variants use UFS 4.0; a meaningful speed difference for app loading and file transfers. One UI 8 on Android 15 with 7 guaranteed Android upgrades covers software support for the phone's full practical lifespan.

Connectivity:

The Galaxy S25 connects to 5G and 4G LTE networks. Wi-Fi 7 tri-band delivers the fastest available wireless connectivity. Bluetooth 5.4 handles wireless accessories and high-bitrate audio.

The 4,000mAh capacity is on the smaller side for a flagship phone, a trade-off for the genuinely compact 6.2-inch body.
