Is it any good?
Starting at ₹74,999 for 12GB of RAM and 128GB of storage (or ₹84,999 for 256GB), the Galaxy S25 makes a strong case against its own successor. While the ₹1,02,999 Galaxy S26 switches back to an Exynos processor, the Galaxy S25 gives you Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy inside an even lighter 162g, 7.2mm body.
It packs a 6.2-inch Full HD+ 120Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 front and back, an IP68 rating, Wi-Fi 7, and Samsung DeX over USB 3.2 Gen 1. The triple rear camera includes a 50MP OIS main sensor, 12MP ultrawide, and a 10MP 3x optical telephoto lens, with security updates covered until January 2032.
The catch is the small 4,000 mAh battery and 128GB base storage at ₹74,999, though stepping up to the 256GB version at ₹84,999 still saves ₹18,000 over the base Galaxy S26.
