The launch of the Samsung Galaxy S25 has generated a lot of excitement in Chile, especially among users looking for the latest smartphone technology. But is it really worth upgrading your Galaxy S24 to this new model? In this comparison, we explore the eight most significant differences between the two generations, from performance to cameras, to help you make the best decision.
1. Processor: Improved speed and efficiency
The Galaxy S25 is powered by the 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, delivering 45% faster processing speeds and 68% better AI performance compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 on the S24. This not only improves multitasking and gaming, but also optimizes features like computational photography and real-time translation.
2. Display: Brighter and with ProScaler technology
Both models share a 6.2" Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, but the S25 introduces ProScaler , a technology that improves image quality by up to 40% using AI algorithms. Additionally, maximum brightness increases to 2,600 nits , ideal for use under the Chilean sun.
3. Cameras: Revolutionary ultra-wide-angle sensor
The Galaxy S25 features a new 50MP Ultra Wide sensor (up from 12MP on the S24), allowing you to capture landscapes and groups in greater detail. Plus, its 2x Optical Zoom powered by the Adaptive Pixel sensor surpasses the S24's low-light capabilities.
4. Battery: Longer life with the same capacity
While both have 4,000mAh batteries , the S25 offers up to 29 hours of video playback thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Elite's optimization and mDNIe technology to reduce power consumption. In comparison, the S24 lasts up to 27 hours .
5. Design: Lighter and stronger
The S25 reduces its weight to 162g (vs. 167g for the S24) and uses an Armor 2 aluminum frame with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection on both sides. Additionally, its "more streamlined" design improves ergonomics, according to user tests in Chile.
6. Galaxy AI: Exclusive S25 Features
The S25 integrates Galaxy AI 2.0 , which includes:
- Now Brief: Morning summaries with your Energy Score and agenda.
- Circle Search: Identify objects on screen using Google AI.
- ProVisual Engine: Advanced photo editing with noise removal in night videos
These tools are not available on the S24 with One UI 6.1.
7. Connectivity: Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4
The S25 is the first in the series to support Wi-Fi 7 , offering speeds up to 3x faster than the S24's Wi-Fi 6E. It also includes Bluetooth 5.4 for a more stable connection with devices like the Galaxy Buds3 Pro .
8. Software: One UI 7 and guaranteed updates
The S25 comes with Android 15 and One UI 7, designed to take full advantage of AI. Samsung promises seven years of system updates and security patches, surpassing the four years guaranteed for the S24.
Is the upgrade to the S25 worth it?
If you're looking for AI innovation , improved performance , and a versatile camera, the Galaxy S25 is worth its price. However, if your S24 is still performing well, you might want to wait for future promotions. For users in Chile who prioritize photography and productivity, the S25 is a solid investment.
