Alright, folks, let's shift our focus to the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus. While the Ultra often steals the spotlight, the Plus model is shaping up to be a real contender this year. So, what can we expect?
Design-wise, it's a refinement of the S24 Plus formula. Think flat edges, a familiar silhouette, and that premium Armor Aluminum frame. Gorilla Glass Victus front and back is almost a certainty, providing that much-needed durability. But hold on, because there's a key difference: it's thinner. Noticeably thinner. Rumors suggest a svelte 7.3mm body, down from the S24 Plus's 7.7mm. This makes it one of the most compact Plus models in Samsung's lineup, all while retaining the robust build and that all-important IP68 water and dust resistance.
The camera module gets a stylish update, with a ring-like lens design reminiscent of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. It's a fresh, modern touch. Beyond that, expect the classic Samsung design language: flat edges, a punch-hole front camera, and standard bezels. Clean, sleek, and sophisticated.
You might not notice the slightly shorter and narrower dimensions compared to the S24 Plus, but the thinner profile will definitely be noticeable. And here's the kicker: Samsung has achieved this slimming down without sacrificing internal components. The battery, for example, remains unaffected, so you're getting a more pocketable phone without compromising on performance.
Color-wise, expect the standard options: Navy, Ice Blue, Silver Shadow, and Mint. Knowing Samsung, there will likely be some exclusive online colors available on Samsung.com.
Now, let's talk display. The S25 Plus is expected to stick with a 6.7-inch 1440p screen, just like its predecessor. HDR support and that buttery smooth 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate are also making a return. From a hardware perspective, not much seems to be changing. However, we're hoping Samsung has boosted the peak brightness for improved outdoor visibility. Fingers crossed!
Another feature we'd love to see trickle down from the S24 Ultra is the anti-reflective coating. This would be a game-changer for legibility in bright sunlight.
Finally, for biometrics, we're almost certainly looking at the same reliable ultrasonic fingerprint scanner and face unlock. Tried and true technology that just works. So, while the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus might not be a radical departure from its predecessor, the refinements and that slimmer profile make it a device worth watching. What are your thoughts? Let me know in the comments below!
