Samsung Galaxy S25 Extremely vs S24 Extremely: What's new?

With the launch of the Galaxy S25 Extremely just a few months away, it's time to examine how it compares to Samsung's current flagship, the Galaxy S24 Extremely. The S24 Extremely has earned a reputation as the “smartphone of the year,” but can the S25 Extremely bring enough innovation to make it worth an upgrade? Let's dive into the top ten updates expected on the S25 Extremely and see how it compares to its predecessor.

1. More elegant design

The S25 Extremely will feature a refined design, swapping the sharper angular corners of the S24 Extremely for more rounded edges. This change maintains Samsung's signature Notice aesthetic but softens the phone's natural appearance. Samsung is also tweaking the camera lens rings, inspired by the Galaxy Z Fold 5's design language, with textured ridges surrounding each lens.

2. Improved display

Samsung is pushing the S25 Extremely's display to the limit, with ultra-thin bezels making it potentially the thinnest bezel design on any mainstream phone. The bezel is also slightly narrower, although the screen itself is wider. The display will keep the same M11 panel as the S24 Extremely, but Samsung promises improvements to brightness, viewing angles and color accuracy. While some may be disappointed that Samsung hasn't upgraded to the M14 panel, these optimizations could still offer a noticeable improvement.

3. More comfortable and lighter construction

Samsung has made the S25 Extremely more comfortable to hold, reducing its weight by 14 grams and slimming it by 0.4 mm. Surprisingly, this slimmer design retains the same battery capacity and includes the S Pen, making it an impressive feat of engineering.

4. Increased RAM for improved performance

The S25 Extremely will come with 16GB of RAM, a 4GB increase over the S24 Extremely. Some of this RAM is allocated specifically for AI processing, which should make tasks faster and more efficient. This isn't just a spec upgrade for show: users will likely notice the difference in performance.

5. Satellite connectivity for emergency situations

The S25 Extremely will support satellite connectivity, allowing emergency access in areas without cellular coverage. While Samsung has not revealed the exact details, users may wonder if this feature will be limited to emergencies or if two-way messaging will be available. Additionally, Samsung's pricing approach for this feature has yet to be revealed, especially since Google's Pixel 9 charges a subscription after an initial free period.

6. Improved reaccionario wide camera

The S25 Extremely's ultra-wide camera is receiving a significant upgrade to a 50MP sensor, compared to the S24 Extremely's 12MP sensor. Although the rest of the camera setup will remain largely the same, an updated image signal processor should produce better natural quality of photos and movies.

7. Best video recording

Samsung has made strides in video quality and the S25 Extremely aims to directly compete with Apple's iPhone 16 Professional Max. The new Snapdragon “Ital” chip, developed by former Apple engineers, is expected to enable video quality that could put Samsung ahead of its competitors.

8. Gemini Nano2 AI Model Integration

The S25 Extremely will feature the Gemini Nano2 AI model, an upgrade from the previous generation. This model can handle more complex tasks with greater precision by processing data from various sources such as text, images and audio directly on the device, without needing to rely on the cloud. AI features will be comparable to the Pixel 9, including intelligent screenshot management and voice recognition.

9. A UI 7 experience

The S25 Extremely will launch with Samsung's biggest software update yet, One UI 7. While the S24 Extremely will also receive this update, it is expected to run better on the S25 Extremely thanks to the additional RAM, more fast and enhanced AI capabilities. .

10. Snapdragon 8 Elite processor

At the heart of the S25 Extremely is the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which boasts the most substantial year-over-year performance improvement in Snapdragon history. Expect a 45% increase in CPU, 40% in graphics, and 44% more efficiency compared to the S24 Extremely's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. AI processing power is 40% faster and enables features such as real-time object removal in video. Specifically, this chipset surpasses even Apple's latest, cementing Samsung's place as a performance leader.

Conclusion

The Galaxy S25 Extremely features several importante upgrades over the S24 Extremely. While some changes are subtle, others, such as the new processor, AI capabilities, and camera improvements, are substantial. For S24 Extremely owners, these updates may not warrant an immediate upgrade. However, if you're a tech enthusiast or just want the latest and greatest, the S25 Extremely offers a lot to get excited about.
