Samsung Galaxy S25 / Samsung Galaxy S23

A higher-clocked Snapdragon 8 Elite version made for Samsung. Samsung lists a 40% larger vapour chamber for the series.

Samsung introduced this version as a Snapdragon optimised for Galaxy and exclusive to the S23 series at launch.

The visible area is about 6.0 inches with rounded corners. The 1–120 Hz range lowers the refresh rate for static content to save battery; Vision Booster adjusts tone mapping to improve readability in sunlight.

The refresh rate varies between 48 and 120 Hz depending on content. Vision Booster adjusts the picture to stay readable in bright light. The size is measured as a full rectangle; the visible area is smaller.

The anti-reflective Gorilla Armor 2 of the Ultra is not used on this model.

There is no card slot for storage expansion.

Usable space is lower because of preloaded software.

The ultra-wide camera has no OIS. The 3× telephoto provides optical zoom through a separate lens rather than a crop of the main camera.

The telephoto gives 3x optical zoom; zoom beyond that is digital.

25 W needs a 3 A USB-C cable and a compatible adapter. Wireless PowerShare lets the phone wirelessly charge another device. The 45 W wired charging of the S25+ and Ultra is not available here.

Support is counted from the global launch date; timing may vary by model, carrier and market.

5G and LTE availability varies by market and carrier.

Wi‑Fi 6E needs a router with 6 GHz support; availability varies by market and provider.

According to Samsung, the S23 series is the first S series to use Victus 2 glass.

The typical value is the average from third-party lab tests; the rated value is the minimum capacity across battery samples.

The adapter is sold separately. Wired charging is compatible with QC2.0 and AFC. PowerShare needs the battery above 30% to charge another device.

Samsung promised four Android OS upgrades and five years of security updates for the S23 series; timing varies by model and market.

Samsung does not advise beach or pool use.
