Pros
Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.
Powerful platform
Snapdragon 8 Elite provides headroom for games and demanding apps. For European models, the move from the S24+ Exynos chip also removes the previous processor difference between markets.
Sharp large display
The 6.7-inch QHD+ display suits reading, photos and video. It offers a useful middle ground between the compact S25 and the larger Ultra.
Lighter construction
Weight drops from 196 to 190 g and thickness from 7.7 to 7.3 mm. Retaining a 4900 mAh battery makes the reduction in size a practical improvement.
