Written by

 In a significant leap forward for mobile technology, Samsung Electronics has announced the Galaxy S25 series, branding it as a true AI companion. The line-up includes the Galaxy S25 Ultra, S25+, and the base S25 model, each boasting advanced AI capabilities designed to enhance user interaction in a more personalized and context-aware manner.

AI at the Core

The Galaxy S25 series introduces multimodal AI agents, aiming to transform how users interact with their devices. Powered by a custom Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy, these devices promise unparalleled on-device AI processing, making the integration of AI seamless and more intuitive.

  • One UI 7: This interface update brings enhanced AI features, including improved natural language processing for easier navigation and command execution. Users can now perform tasks like searching for photos or adjusting settings through simple voice commands.
  • Circle to Search: An upgrade from Google, this feature now recognizes phone numbers, emails, and URLs on the screen, allowing for immediate actions like calling or emailing with a single tap.
  • Gemini Activation: A long press of the side button activates Gemini, enabling cross-app functionality without the need for multiple inputs, enhancing productivity.

Performance and Photography

The series is equipped with what Samsung claims to be its most powerful processor yet, the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, offering significant boosts in CPU, GPU, and NPU performance. This power upgrade facilitates advanced AI tasks directly on the device, including generative editing which was previously cloud-dependent.

  • Photography: The Galaxy S25 Ultra sports a new 50MP ultrawide camera, quadrupling the resolution from its predecessor, alongside a 10-bit HDR recording for richer color depth. Features like Audio Eraser for video and Virtual Aperture for DSLR-like effects are now available, democratizing professional-grade editing tools.

Design and Sustainability

Samsung continues its commitment to sustainability with the S25 series:

  • Materials: The devices incorporate recycled materials in every external component, including a minimum of 50% recycled cobalt in the battery for the S25 model sourced from previous Galaxy devices.
  • Durability: The S25 Ultra features a new Corning Gorilla Armor 2, enhancing drop protection and scratch resistance while maintaining an anti-reflective surface.

Pricing and Availability

The Galaxy S25 series pricing in Kenya kicks off with:

  • Galaxy S25 Ultra: KES 188,400 for 12+512GB and KES 172,800 for 12+256GB.
  • Galaxy S25+: KES 147,800 for 12+512GB and KES 132,000 for 12+256GB.
  • Galaxy S25: KES 116,200 for 8+256GB and KES 108,300 for 8+128GB.

Looking Forward

The introduction of the Galaxy S25 series not only showcases Samsung’s push towards AI integration in daily mobile use but also sets new benchmarks in performance, photography, and environmental consciousness. With its focus on AI personalization and privacy through features like the Personal Data Engine, Samsung is indeed redefining what a smartphone can do in an ever-more connected world.

For those looking to stay at the forefront of technology with devices that learn and adapt to user behavior, the Galaxy S25 series is a compelling choice. However, as with all AI-driven technologies, the long-term implications on privacy and data security will be key areas to watch as these devices become more integrated into our lives.
