Samsung's "middle" flagship is a solid device, but I wish it had some of the prowess of the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 devices are now available to buy. It starts at £999 / $999 / AU$1699 for the 256GB variant. That sees the 2025 mode at the same launch price as the Galaxy S24 Plus was upon launch last year, avoiding inflationary pressures.

Samsung's newest flagships — the Galaxy 25 lineup — hit retail stores on February 7th, almost a couple of weeks after being first showcased to the world at its January Unpacked event. Now, a week after their retail availability, Samsung has started rolling out the first software update for its newest flagships.
