The corners are more rounded, giving users a better grip on the device to prevent drops. Suppose you do happen to drop any of the devices. In that case, the fact the S25 and S25+ now feature Corning Gorilla Armor 2 glass and the S25 Ultra’s Enhanced Corning Gorilla Armor (front glass), Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 (rear glass) offers users a 29% greater resistance to fractures which Samsung notes will lead to 60% screen repair.

Under the hood, all three models feature Qualcolmm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, which Samsung boasts is the “most powerful and world’s fastest mobile system-on-a-chip ever.”
All the power is needed to help the phone perform its new Galaxy AI-powered features, turning your device into what Samsung describes as a “True AI Companion.” The S25 features Cross-app action with AI Agent and native app integration, Now Bar, Now Brief, and Audio Eraser for Videos. The S25+ and S25 Ultra boasts all of the previously listed features plus ProScaler for QHD+.
All three S25 models also feature an integrated AI platform, Personalized AI, and Gemini integration, thanks to the inclusion of a special button on the side of the phone.
A long press of the Gemini Button allows you to issue voice commands between Samsung, Google, and third-party apps. For example, you can add an event to your calendar via text or ask for a YouTube video to be summarized, thanks to Cross App Action.
Other AI-based improvements include Smart Select, now being called AI Select.
It intelligently knows what’s on the screen and provides suggestions, such as turning a video into a gif or summarizing the text.
Samsung partnered with Google on Circle to Search, which has also been improved. It can now be used to search for sounds, including music.
Do you not know the lyrics to the song you are searching for? According to Samsung, you can hum it, and Circle to Search will find it.
Searching through your extensive gallery of photos has also gotten easier thanks to Galaxy AI and its use of Natural Language which can
interpret text, speech, images and videos and also enables interactions between you and your S25 device that feels natural.
