Samsung Galaxy S25 + in the test: almost an ultra and for some the best smartphone 29 comments
Do you really need the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra’s stylus these days? The Galaxy S25+ does without the S Pen, other than that it offers almost the same equipment, and is smaller and costs less. In terms of performance, both smartphones take nothing, there are differences in the display and camera.

200 euros price difference
The Galaxy S25 + can be found in the price comparison from 1,023 euros, but for a Galaxy S25 Ultra (test) you currently have to put on the table from 1,179 euros. But what more do you get for this price difference of around 200 euros in the ultra? The differences are small, but they should always be evaluated individually in detail before purchasing.

Technical data in comparison
Round, thinner, lighter
Like the Ultra, the Galaxy S25+ comes with housing certified to IP68, in this case the chassis is made of aluminum instead of titanium. Neither smartphone looks better or worse due to the choice of material, which is more due to the smaller dimensions of 75.8 × 158.4 × 7.30 mm and the weight of 190 g. The S25+ is round, thinner (0.9mm) and lighter (28g) and therefore feels a little better in the hand than the ultra. On the way, it’s not as omnipresent in your pocket either.

OLED display with the same 1440p resolution
Unlike the smaller Galaxy S25, the Galaxy S25+’s 6.7-inch OLED display offers the full 1440p resolution with up to 120Hz, even if only 1080p is set e.g. There was no difference in the top model in the test on points such as general quality, color rendition or full-screen brightness of the panel, only when the glass protected the two smartphones separate.
Only ultra gets gorilla armor 2
Like the previous year, gorilla armor is available for ultra, now in the second generation, which is intended to better withstand falls. Gorilla Armor mainly ensures that reflections come less into their own. The Galaxy S25+ reacts more sensitively to changes in perspective compared to natural and artificial light sources, so the subjectively perceived brightness of the Ultra may be higher depending on the environment. However, this is not the case, however, as the comparison images underlie. However, it remains a shame for buyers that Samsung Gorilla Armor does not use the entire series.
