Samsung Galaxy S25 Enterprise Edition 256GB Silver Shadow

Ist das schon Arbeitsverweigerung? Das handliche Galaxy-S-Modell aus dem Hause Samsung war stets eines, wenn nicht das beste Handy unter den kleinen Android-Phones. Doch diesen Status scheint das Galaxy S25 nicht mehr gerecht zu werden. Zumindest macht ein Blick auf das Datenblatt wenig Hoffnung. Oder macht die Galaxy AI den Unterschied?

Als kleinstes und günstigstes Modell der S25-Reihe überrascht das Galaxy S25 mit den meisten Hardware-Verbesserungen. Auch in puncto Software gibt es gute Nachrichten, denn ihr müsst bei der Galaxy AI keine Abstriche im Vergleich zu den teureren Modellen hinnehmen. Zudem liefert es auch ohne eine 200-Megapixel-Hauptkamera beeindruckende Fotos. Hinsichtlich des Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnisses ist das Galaxy S25 der Star der neuen Smartphone-Reihe von Samsung und definitiv einen Kauf wert.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 is a bit of a mixed bag, since it provides a few notable upgrades and just as many reused components from last year's Galaxy S24. Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy is a powerhouse, there's now 12GB RAM on the base model, and you get Wi-Fi 7 support. On the other hand, the rear camera system, display, and charging speeds are all unfortunately unchanged for another year. That isn't quite enough to count the Galaxy S25 out, because Samsung tweaked the design this time round to make it the smallest flagship phone on the market. It might sound crazy to call a 6.2-inch handset a compact device, but it's the best we've got in 2025.

It’s a very modest upgrade on last year’s effort and battery life is only average, but the Galaxy S25 still flies the flag for small Android phones.

After three years making essentially the same phone, you’d hope and expect that Samsung would really nail it this time around, and it has. The Galaxy S25 is better than its predecessors in almost every way, and it also beats the iPhone 16 in performance, battery life, and more. Even the Galaxy software and Galaxy AI have gotten better, though some promised features may take longer to develop. Older Galaxy owners take note – this one delivers without pushing the AI too far, and while that may change over time, right now this is the best Galaxy S that Samsung has made, and that makes it one of the best phones you can buy.

Small upgrades but a great compact Android phone The Samsung Galaxy S25 doesn't deliver significant improvements over the Galaxy S24 so there is little reason to upgrade apart from a hardware boost. But if you have an older phone, the Galaxy S25 has a lovely small form factor, a great display, consistent camera results and a smooth and slick performance that make it a solid choice.
