Samsung’s Galaxy S25 is a great device, and it does genuinely raise the bar on smartphone AI. But for home and business users, the fact this is a device that’s all about AI has come too soon for its buyers to fully understand how to stay AI-safe, or even the questions they should ask. All that should be factored in to any decision to switch.

On paper, the Galaxy S25 Ultra has the iPhone 16 Pro Max's number. The Galaxy S25 Ultra has 200MP wide, 50MP ultrawide, and 50MP telephoto cameras. The iPhone 16 Pro Max only has 48MP wide, 48MP ultrawise, and 12MP telephoto cameras, respectively. The more megapixels often equates to more detailed and higher resolution photos.

Samsung launched the S25 series which comes in three variants — the S25, S25+ and the S25 Ultra. The S25 starts at $799, the S25+ starts at $999 and the S25 Ultra starts at $1,299. Samsung touted improved artificial intelligence features as it looks to stay competitive against Apple and increasingly-competitive Chinese players.
