The new Samsung Galaxy S25 comes with the Android 5-based One UI 7 out of the box, alongside a promised seven years of OS and security updates. The wireless charging system has also been upgraded to the new Qi2 standard but without magnets, which puts it below the iPhone 16. The magnets allow the wireless charger to snap against the back of the phone and deliver a faster and more efficient charging system. They are part of the Qi2 wireless standard, but Samsung didn't implement them.

Galaxy AI took center stage at the launch event, having received a wide variety of features and capabilities on the Samsung Galaxy S25 (thanks to the power of the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chip inside the phone).

The video recording quality was also upgraded with the AI ProVisual Engine, which helps the camera record 18% more FPS for smoother footage. The battery life received a big boost, thanks to pairing the new and more efficient chip with proper software optimizations.
