Say hello to the Samsung Galaxy A25 – the entry-level phone that is Samsung’s most important to reign the smartphone crown.
The Galaxy A25 has to outdo its predecessor, the Galaxy A24, or as the case may be, and we’d say it does so very well.
The new phone also adds 5G (the Galaxy A24 was LTE only) courtesy of the more efficient 5nm Exynos 1280 chipset. This brings the Super AMOLED screen to 120Hz, up from its predecessor’s 90Hz. Sadly the AMOLED still doesn’t have a fingerprint scanner embedded – it’s a capacitive side-mounted one for the Galaxy A25.
Finally, you get a higher-resolution 8MP ultrawide compared to the outgoing model’s 5MP.
Not much to say about the contents of the box. Like the A24, the Galaxy A25 ships with a single USB cable – if it’s good enough for the Galaxy S24 Ultra, it’s good enough for the cheapest Galaxy A members, we guess.
We got the Personality Yellow unit, an enchanting color. There’s a more subdued bold black, fantasy blue and an optimistic blue.
The Galaxy A25 adopts Samsung’s updated design language with a slightly sculpted frame, which is nicer to the touch and more secure in the hand.
