Double down on AI 

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series doubles down on AI. It comes additions and refinements to Galaxy AI along with other improvements in hardware and performance

Circle to Search

Some of the more notable ones include an expanded Circle to Search function. It now anticipates what action you might take with your selection and opens an Edge Panel to help you decide. There’s even two additional two icons: one for finding out the music in your surroundings and another for AI Translate. 

Now Brief & Now Bar

However, perhaps the most pronounced addition is Now Brief and Now Bar. Now Brief is essentially a smart, “human-like” AI Assistant. Through the Now Bar on the lock screen, it can display your schedule, offer restaurant recommendations, suggest new music, and many, many more. 

The Now Bar is on the bottom part of the lockscreen to help minimize your overall interaction with the phone and get things done by simply issuing a voice command. 

This will work across Google apps, Galaxy native apps, and select third party apps. 

Content Creation things

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series adds a 50MP Ultra Wide camera that offers four times better detail than its predecessor. 

Meanwhile, you get key additions to your content creation suite with features like Nightography Video that denoises the videos you capture in night and low light shooting conditions. 

There’s also Audio Eraser that offers you granular control on the volume of your video. You can adjust the volume levels of Speaker, Music, Wind, Nature, and Crowd.

In addition, you also have Galaxy Log and Virtual Aperture for improved color correction and shot composition. 

More content-adjacent AI things are improved Generative Edits (Magic Erase, etc), and a more accurate Portrait Studio. 

Hardware and Performance

The entire Galaxy S25 line is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC that’s especially tuned for Galaxy. 

As for hardware changes, the Galaxy S25 series is slimmer and lighter compared to the Galaxy S24 series. The corners and edges have also been rounded for a better grip. For durability, there’s improved titanium and Corning Gorilla Armor 2. 

Colorways 

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Series come in various color options: 

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: 

Titanium Silverblue, Titanium Whitesilver, Titanium Gray, Titanium Black. With online exclusives being the following: Titanium Blackgold, Titanium Jetblack, Titanium Jadegreen.
