The lineup's least spectacular duo — and the hardest to split. S25 or S25+: the answer lives in three details.
Screen: the first criterion
6.2" versus 6.7", and crucially QHD+ on the Plus versus FHD+ on the compact. For reading, series and gaming, the S25+ screen is objectively more comfortable. For one-hand mobility, the S25 keeps the edge.
Battery: the real differentiator
| S25 | S25+ | |
|---|---|---|
| Battery | 4000 mAh | 4900 mAh |
| Real endurance | a day | 1.5 days |
| Charging | 25 W | 45 W |
The S25+ is the 'small' one with no battery problem. Early-out, late-home? That argument ends the debate.
Camera and performance: twins
Same sensors, same 8 Elite, same 12 GB RAM. No in-use difference — rare within a lineup.
Verdict
- S25: mobility first, one hand, a shirt pocket
- S25+: Ultra-class screen and battery without paying Ultra money — the lineup's rational pick
Both compared at real prices on the comparator.
