QUESTION
Which is better, the Galaxy S24 or S25?
For most people, the Galaxy S25 is better if you’re buying new: it keeps the S24’s general formula but adds more RAM on the base model, a slightly thinner/lighter body, and newer-generation performance. If the Galaxy S24 is meaningfully cheaper, though, it’s the better value because the day-to-day difference is likely small for average users.
Quick call:
- Buy Galaxy S25 if prices are close, you want the newest model, or you keep phones for several years.
- Buy Galaxy S24 if it’s discounted and you mainly care about calls, apps, photos, browsing, and battery life rather than small refinements.
- Don’t upgrade from S24 to S25 unless you specifically want the newer chip/RAM or lighter feel; it’s more of a refinement than a dramatic jump.
