NGL, here’s why the AI-powered Samsung Galaxy S25 series still proves it’s 2025’s best camera phone upgrade

A smartphone does a lot more than keep us connected or help us scroll through Instagram. It’s with us from the moment we wake up to the moment we sleep — capturing memories, managing our finances, helping us shop online, navigate safely from one place to another, and even stay productive and active too. 

While many phones today are capable of offering these features in some capacity, the Samsung Galaxy S25 series is able to offer all this and more to thanks to the introduction of Samsung’s own Galaxy AI, a collaborative on-board AI assistant that lets you interact with it with natural conversation to effortlessly get more done to make life easier. 

That’s not all, the Samsung Galaxy S25 series isn’t just smart, it’s powerful too. Consisting of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, the Galaxy S25+ and the Galaxy S25, the Galaxy S25 series all feature the speed, performance and hardware to make them indispensable AI companions that will stick with you through thick and thin. 

Best of all, the Galaxy S25 series feature high-performing Nightography cameras capable of capturing great shots day and especially at night.

That’s just scratching the surface of what the Galaxy S25 series is capable of – here’s why the AI-powered Samsung Galaxy S25 series still proves it’s 2025’s best camera phone upgrade and are your perfect ride-or-die AI companions in daily life. 

Class leading hardware upgrades – True flagship experience with Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor with premium materials and design

As Samsung’s premier flagship lineup for 2025, the Galaxy S25 series raises the bar in both performance and durability. Whether you pick the Galaxy S25 Ultra, S25+, or S25, you’re getting a powerhouse device built to handle everything your day throws at it — and more.

At the heart of every model is the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, a specially tuned version of Qualcomm’s most advanced chipset. Compared to last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 used in the Galaxy S24 series, this upgraded processor delivers massive gains across the board:

• Up to 40% better NPU performance for lightning-fast on-device AI tasks like image editing, voice recognition, and contextual suggestions
• Up to 37% faster CPU performance for seamless multitasking, gaming, and productivity
• Up to 30% stronger GPU performance for smoother visuals and high-end gaming
• Up to 40% improved ray tracing, delivering more realistic lighting and reflections in supported apps and games

To ensure all this power stays cool, Samsung has expanded the vapor chamber cooling systems across the lineup. The Galaxy S25 Ultra features a 40% larger vapor chamber, while the S25+ and S25 each include a 15% size increase. A new generation of thermal interface materials (TIM) has also been added to enhance sustained thermal performance — meaning your phone won’t throttle even during extended gaming or video editing sessions.

And it’s not just what’s inside that counts — the Galaxy S25 series is built tough with premium materials across the board.

• The Galaxy S25 Ultra comes clad in titanium alloy, giving it exceptional strength without unnecessary weight. The anti-glare Dynamic AMOLED 2X display that remains clearly visible even in harsh sunlight and is also protected by tough Corning® Gorilla® Armor 2
• The Galaxy S25+ and S25 both feature Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2 protecting their Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays along with frames made of Samsung’s Armor Aluminum, offering better scratch and drop resistance than standard aluminum frames.

All three models are rated IP68 for water and dust resistance, giving you peace of mind whether you’re caught in Malaysia’s perennial and random rain storms or on the move. In short, the Galaxy S25 series offers not just power and speed, but the toughness and reliability you need in your daily AI companion — ready to go wherever life takes you.

Capture every moment — day or night — with next-gen Nightography cameras

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series not only offer the fastest Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets in the market — it’s a content creation powerhouse too with cameras that can elevate your photography and videography day or night. Whether you’re snapping a group selfie at dinner or filming cinematic footage on the go, these are the most capable Galaxy cameras yet.

 

Integrating the best smartphone cameras that Samsung has to offer, the Galaxy S25 Ultra takes the lead with a cutting-edge 200MP main camera that captures exceptional detail and clarity. It’s paired with an upgraded 50MP ultra-wide camera for sharper, more dynamic landscape shots, and a dual telephoto system that includes a 10MP lens with 3x optical zoom, and a 50MP lens with 5x optical zoom. Together, they deliver up to 100x Space Zoom, letting you shoot faraway subjects with stunning sharpness.

 

The Galaxy S25+ and S25 bring powerful imaging capabilities in more compact packages, each featuring a 50MP main camera, a 10MP telephoto lens and a 12MP ultra-wide camera. You’ll also get up to 30x Space Zoom, perfect for concerts, travel, and cityscapes.

All of the Galaxy S25 series all feature 12MP cameras capable of crisp selfies and 4K video capture.

All models can shoot 8K video — ultra-rich and detailed footage that looks phenomenal on Samsung’s Neo QLED 8K TVs. And while the hardware is impressive, it’s what’s under the hood that truly sets the Galaxy S25 series apart.

Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, the enhanced ProVisual Engine delivers smarter, faster image processing for brighter low-light shots, cleaner video, and less noise — especially during night scenes or backlit environments. The result? Next-gen Nightography that brings clarity and realism to even the most challenging lighting conditions.

For creators and pros, the Galaxy S25 Ultra adds serious tools to the mix:

• 10-bit HDR video recording for richer dynamic range
• Galaxy Log video mode for advanced post-production colour grading
• Expert RAW mode, allowing full manual control and RAW format stills for maximum editing flexibility

Whether you’re a content creator looking for a powerful, full-featured setup, or just want fuss-free quality shots of weekend hangouts, food, and selfies with friends, the Galaxy S25 series has you covered. From everyday memories to your next viral reel, it puts pro-grade creative power in your hands — no extra gear required and straight out of your pocket.

A true AI Companion – The power of Galaxy AI

While the Galaxy S25 series already shines with class-leading hardware and cameras, what truly sets it apart is Galaxy AI — a built-in intelligent assistant that transforms your smartphone into a daily productivity partner and creative tool – in effect, it’s a personal AI companion that helps you maximise your day.

Designed to help you get more done, Galaxy AI introduces features like Now Brief, a personalised daily dashboard that shows your schedule, weather, and even your Energy Score to help you start the day right. 

Under the hood, Galaxy AI is powered by Google Gemini, allowing for natural, voice-based interaction. You can adjust settings like brightness or volume, send messages, set appointments, or take notes — all just by talking to your phone. Now that’s saying something, literally.

But Galaxy AI isn’t just smart — it’s wonderfully creative too. Whether you’re shooting videos or snapping photos, it includes intelligent tools to help elevate your content to the next level.

• Audio Eraser removes unwanted sounds like wind or background chatter from your recordings
• Best Face makes sure everyone looks their best by picking the perfect frame where eyes are open and smiles are right – no need for do-overs!
• Generative Edit lets you resize, reposition, or remove elements from your photos — like moving a friend slightly to the left, or erasing a random passerby in the background

When it comes to productivity such as assignments, reports and meetings, Galaxy AI is just as powerful with a potent suite of AI-tools that acts like your personal writer:

• Note Assist helps you format reports, correct grammar, typos and spelling, and even clean up your writing for that final professional polish
• Transcript Assist automatically transcribes and summarises long audio recordings — perfect for lectures, meetings, or interviews

With Galaxy AI, the Galaxy S25 series becomes more than just a smartphone — it becomes an intelligent companion that helps you work smarter, create faster, and live better.
