For those who seek to renew their mobiles to the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, the question is frequent: Does it should buy the Galaxy S25 or better to bet on the S25+?
I have been able to try both devices at the same time and I have found slight differences between these, basically with identical characteristicswith the exception of its design, the size of the chosen panel, in addition to autonomy and fast charging.
While the S25 is directed to an audience that prefers more compact mobile series cap.
After several weeks comparing both models, I have a clear winner. I tell you thoroughly what are its main differences and what terminal should buy.

Design, autonomy and fast charge, its main differences
From the first moment, the differences in the design between the S25 and the S25+ are more than notable, in what has to do with their measures, the weight with which they arrive and also with the colors available.
In the case of S25+, this has dimensions of 75.8 x 158.4 x 7.3 millimeters, while The S25 is significantly reduced in what has to do with the width and lengthof 70.5 x 146.9 millimeters, although the thickness is very close, with 7.2 millimeters.
This places the S25 as a great winner in what has to do with the use with one hand, to which it adds that it is much better to take it in the pocket, thanks to its compact measures.

In addition, comparisons in weight are more than notable: the S25+ weighs 190 grams and, although it is not very heavy, the difference is noted with the S25, which barely reaches 162 grams. In this section, the S25 is a clear winner for those who seek somewhat less bulky.
Of course, this has its direct implication in their AMOLED 2X panel, which both sharebut with 6.7 inches in the S25+ –Muy close to 6.9 inches of the ultra model – and 6.2 inches in the S25.
As for the battery environment, it is the one that presents the greatest difference. In this sense, the S25+ has 4,900 mAh battery and 45 w load, while the S25 reduces these figures to 4,000 mAh and 25 W load.
After the test, and having reviewed detailed consumption with Accubattery on both devices, I must say that I have not noticed practically any difference, although the S25+wins.
According to the values shown by said application, and having used the same adjustments in both mobiles, consumption is practically the same when the screen is off; With the screen on and passing different tools, it is also identical.
Thus, this stays with the active screen at 33.9% every hour in the S25 and 34.5% per hour in the S25+. In both cases, they are not great figures and is one of the criticisms of the Samsung Galaxy series, as also happens in the load section.

In this last term, both are almost identical, and you will have to wait more than 2 hours for the terminal to carry 100%.
That said, My personal recommendation if you do not decide is that you focus on design. In my case, the Samsung Galaxy S25 has been the clear winner, since it is much more compact and you will not notice the difference in battery and load, but in the price.
In this sense, the price of S25 starts at 909 euros for the 12 gigabytes version of RAM and 128 Gigabytes; In the 512 Gigabytes, it costs 969 euros. As for S25+, the price amounts to 1,159 euros with a temporary offer for the 512 gigabytes version, something else without offer, at 1,278.99 euros.
