Samsung's newest flagships — the Galaxy 25 lineup — hit retail stores on February 7th, almost a couple of weeks after being first showcased to the world at its January Unpacked event. Now, a week after their retail availability, Samsung has started rolling out the first software update for its newest flagships.

We've spent the week testing the Samsung Galaxy S25, and while the flagship Android hasn't changed much, it's still very impressive.

Samsung’s Galaxy S-series is in its software era. Maybe the whole smartphone industry is, too, save for a few phones with hinges (Samsung’s included). But overall, we have exited the hardware-driven innovation cycle and are firmly in the midst of a software-based one.
