Although the devices have the same dimensions, the display has a visibly larger surface area thanks to the straight edge of the casing. Unfortunately, the matt metal edge feels less grippy than the polished metal of its predecessor. As I don't like covers, the device could slip out of my hands more easily.
Camera comparisons should be made by professionals. For me, it's the form factor that counts. There is certainly better, but not in a compact 162g!
I take a lot of pictures in poor light. The processing of the "night" images is now lightning fast.
The angular, almost sharp camera lenses bother me when I touch them.
You notice the speed advantage when installing apps. As I mainly use the device for photos and office work, performance is of little interest to me.
I've had the device for a week and will be putting the battery through its paces - so far, the S25 has run cool and feels "eternal".
I decided to buy 512Gb thanks to the promotion, but it's still a mystery to me how I can fill the memory...

Basically a great phone, but it's scary how many permissions you have to give for data. Many things don't work smoothly when authorisations are withdrawn.
There are also too many AI functions.
I miss my Samsung Galaxy S10 :)
But I'm still warming to this new device.

Had to switch from the S22+ to the S25 due to a hardware defect (drop damage was probably the cause). I'm currently very satisfied, mainly because of the battery: 48h runtime -> battery level: 65%.
I haven't experienced anything like this for a long time. However, I have to say that I always try to save energy in order to minimise the number of charging cycles. During this time, I mainly surfed the internet a little, played Clash of Clans, checked Instagram and LinkedIn and occasionally checked my emails - that was all I did. To give you a rough estimate, my battery consumption was around 1% per hour when idling, which I think is an impressively good performance.
As for the rest, I would say: decent workmanship and a nice smartphone. The only thing I don't like is the lens rings on the camera, which are a little loose and certainly allow a lot of dust in the grooves after a few months... Otherwise top model!

AI installation and operation can be positive, but a lot of information is required that you don't necessarily want to disclose in a general AI-based software and not in a specially secured app. Basic mobile phone options such as Outlook Mails or Whatsapp are very difficult to install and cause problems. Otherwise, it seems that the mobile delivers what it promises. No further experience yet.

It replaced my Pixel 8, which lacked performance and a zoom lens.
