Samsung Galaxy S24
What does Jen say about the Samsung Galaxy S24?
For Jen, the Galaxy S24 is a flagship for your pocket: light, handy and powerful, with a good display, Galaxy AI and seven years of updates. The smaller battery still lasts a long time, and the camera is scaled down but very good. Only the speakers sound tinny.
Pros
- Jen finds the Exynos 2400 keeps up with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
- Handy at 6.2 inches and 167 g, ideal for one-handed use
- Brightest display in its class at up to 2,600 nits and 120 Hz
- Everyday photos impress, HDR photos straight in Instagram
- All Galaxy AI features, just like on the S24 Ultra
- Seven years of guaranteed updates, ultrasonic fingerprint sensor
Cons
- Speakers sound tinny at higher volumes
- Camera barely changed from the S23 and not at flagship level

Samsung Galaxy S25
What does Jen say about the Samsung Galaxy S25?
The Galaxy S25 is a handy, light near-flagship with the best Android processor, useful AI and a good display. Because of the camera from three years ago, the price and the slow charging power, though, it is not a true flagship for Jen.
Pros
- Handy 6.2-inch OLED display, light and comfortable in the hand
- Same Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy as in the S25 Ultra
- Galaxy AI with One UI 7 and Android 15 is really useful in everyday life
- Surprisingly good speakers
- Battery lasts almost a day and a half
Cons
- Camera hardware unchanged for three years
- RRP of €899 for 128 GB, therefore too expensive for the old sensors
- Only 25 watts wired, 15 watts wireless
- No anti-reflective display glass like on the S25 Ultra
