Samsung revealed three new additions to its Galaxy smartphone line at Samsung Unpacked 2025 on Wednesday. The news didn’t bring too many surprises, as the line maintains its usual tiered system with the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra.
The news finds the hardware in line with the rest of the mobile industry by focusing many of the updates on the AI front — specifically, via Google’s Gemini platform.
That said, there are still a number of hardware distinctions between the models, hence the $500 price gulf between the S25 and S25 Ultra’s starting prices. Here’s a quick breakdown on what you’ll be getting at each price point. All three models are up for preorder now and set to start shipping February 7.

At Samsung’s Unpacked 2025 on Wednesday, the company unveiled the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. Google marked the occasion with a slew of Android updates, including key updates to its AI assistant, Gemini.
Starting Wednesday, users can access an improved Gemini, which integrates into apps and services across a device. In a single prompt, you can ask the AI to perform multiple actions across different apps. For instance, if you’re looking for a restaurant nearby and want to share the options with someone, Gemini can utilize Google Maps to generate recommendations and then compose a message to send via Google Messages.
The company also launched new Gemini Extensions for Samsung Calendar, Samsung Clock, Samsung Notes, and Samsung Reminder.
Additionally, Samsung introduced new features for Gemini Live, Google’s voice-based feature that offers a conversational experience. For example, you can practice an important presentation with the assistant and receive immediate spoken feedback. Users can also upload images, files, and even YouTube videos into the conversation, making Gemini Live more multimodal and context-aware.
In the coming months, Samsung will launch Project Astra capabilities, which is Google’s real-time, multimodal AI assistant. The new additions include screen sharing and live video streaming. These will first appear on the Gemini app on Android and then the Galaxy S25 line.
The announcements arrive alongside a new side button for the Galaxy S25 series that allows you to quickly access Gemini. With a single press, you can ask the AI to perform tasks like setting a reminder, saving a note, or telling you about an upcoming meeting.
You can preorder the Samsung Galaxy S25 series Wednesday. It begins shipping on February 7.
