9/ 10 overall
design9 / 10

Boxy titanium frame with flat display, but still heavy at 233g. S Pen slot is back. IP68. No headphone jack.

display10 / 10

6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz, 2600 nits peak. Sharp and vibrant, but PWM sensitive users may notice flicker.

performance10 / 10

Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 for Galaxy. Fast but throttles under sustained load. 12GB RAM base, 256GB storage.

camera9 / 10

200MP main, 50MP ultrawide, dual telephoto (3x, 5x). Excellent detail in good light, but processing can oversharpen. Selfie camera is average.

battery9 / 10

5000mAh, 45W wired, 15W wireless. Charging is slow compared to competitors. Battery life is solid, lasting a day.

software8 / 10

One UI 7 based on Android 15. Smooth, feature-rich, but heavy with Samsung bloat. 7 years of updates promised.

value7 / 10

Starting at $1299. Premium price, but incremental upgrades over S25 Ultra. Better options exist for less.
