Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy A25 8 GB / 256 GB / International / SM-A256E technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy A25 suits anyone looking for a 5G phone with a screen that ranks better than most phones of its time; its main camera, however, has a smaller sensor than most. The 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display has a 120 Hz refresh rate and 1080 × 2340 px resolution, a useful combination for browsing and watching video. Gorilla Glass 5 and Always-On Display add to the screen features.
This version pairs the Samsung Exynos 1280 with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. The Galaxy A25 is also sold in 6 GB / 64 GB, 8 GB / 128 GB and 8 GB / 256 GB configurations. Storage is expandable and uses UFS 2.2. The phone runs Android 14, supports Google Services and includes two years of operating system update support.
The 50 MP main camera has an f/1.8 aperture and optical image stabilization. A 5 MP ultrawide camera and a 2 MP macro/depth camera round out the rear setup. The main camera’s 1/2.76-inch sensor is smaller than those in most phones launched around the same time. The 5000 mAh battery supports 25 W charging. Other features include 5G, NFC, a 3.5 mm audio jack and dual SIM.
Overall, the Galaxy A25 stands out for its display among phones of its time and suits people who prioritize the screen and 5G connectivity; its smaller main-camera sensor is the key trade-off. Its overall NeoScore is 6.1.
