Samsung has officially launched the Galaxy S25 series, unveiling three primary models: the standard Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and the premium Galaxy S25 Ultra. While the highly anticipated Galaxy S25 Slim remains absent, the company introduced a new Galaxy S25 Edge model, celebrated for its sleek and slim profile. Prices for the Galaxy S25 series start at $799 (approximately ₹69,000) in the US. The Galaxy S25+ is priced at $999, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra will cost $1,299. The Indian pricing is yet to be revealed.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy—a custom-tuned version of Qualcomm’s flagship chipset for 2025. This advanced processor integrates an upgraded APU, delivering enhanced performance and efficiency. Samsung has also addressed heat management by increasing the vapour chamber size by 40% on the Ultra model, ensuring optimal performance during extended use.
