• The Samsung Galaxy S25, while boasting powerful specs like Qualcomm's fastest processor and S25 Ultra-equivalent AI features, suffers from several drawbacks that might make consumers hesitant to purchase.
• Its design is largely uninspired, continuing the same design philosophy as its predecessors for the fourth consecutive time, offering little visual distinction from the S23 series and even borrowing elements from Apple's iPhones.
• Furthermore, the camera setup uses outdated sensors from the 2022 Galaxy S22, with the primary, ultrawide, and telephoto lenses receiving no significant upgrades, despite being a flagship phone in 2025.
• Finally, the 4000mAh battery, while slightly larger than its predecessor, is considered underwhelming for a flagship phone in 2025, especially when paired with slow 25W charging, and the impending release of the slimmer, better-equipped S25 Slim further diminishes the appeal of the standard S25.
