I got my S25 base model 512gb the other day in the UK 🇬🇧, I'm not into these large brick phones, the S25 holds in my hand easy and fits in my trousers pockets easily.
I've traded in my S23 Ultra for the standard S25 for this very reason. Just waiting for it to arrive. Now wondering though if I should have gone for the Coral Red. It actually looks 'red' in this video, but looked closer to pink in other media. I've went for Silver Shadow.
I agree! I tried the S25+ after having the S21 for years and just couldn't get used to it. So heavy and hard to use with 1 hand. Can't wait to get the regular S25
I pre-ordered the Ultra as soon as the unpacked event was over. I got Titanium Jet Black. Traded my S24U as the trade-in prices were good. The free Buds Pro 3 sweetened the deal. So far I like the flat screen and rounded corners. The phone is easier to hold one handed.
Absolutely worth the wait. I skipped s24 Exynos for this. S25 is the perfect upgrade since I am using A06 as a backup. It's going to be a huge upgrade atleast for me. lol
I was going to get the S25 for the smaller size but with the trade-in it was only $10 more going from the S25 to the S25+. Got the plus with twice the storage and a better screen.
@@katinasoutherland7693 Are you sure? Im using my s25 heavily all day since this morning, its 6 in evening here and i still got 48% left. Stop being this biased.
It looks stunning. I wish they do away with shiny glossy reflective look on their budget to mid offerings so it can be as pretty as this out of the box.
Definately getting S25 this year! I've always wanted a compact phone but sadly there aren't many choices out there. Midrange phones are becoming bigger and bigger, even bigger than the flagships. I'm gonna wait for few months to get feedback on some of the issues that were present in previous S series (like green line and grainy screen issues). What do you think about the green line issues, is that common?
Wish more reviewers would emphasize that the s25 series is for those folks still using s20 or earlier and not be so myopic and see only them as compared to last years. Hey wade, what about a comparison between s25s and say the s20 or s21 , just so we can see more clearly the improvements since 2020.
As someone who have been using budget phones for years (currently using A13 LTE which I traded in), S25 will definitely be a game changer for me. I bought the coral red today and it'll be shipped out by March 11. This is my first flagship phone and I even got the free watch 7! I'm so excited!!
I'm sorry for saying this but that colour looks exactly like the iPhone 12 Product RED, even the flat edges and antenna bands of the S25 makes both phones look very identical
Samsung unboxing nowadays probably the most underwhelming. Remember when you got the charger, cable, AKG Headset, USB adaptor and a clear case in the box!? 😀
theres a sweet spot as to using a small fun. it's so sweet to the hand after using the massive ultras, seems samsung may remove the spen after removing the bt the smaller one with the small print may be a better deal
I was sceptical I made the wrong choice with the coral red option and was even close to cancelling the order and getting the blue black. after watching this video I am pretty convinced I made the right color choice!
@soulrecalibration see my thinking is I get bigger, better screen, larger battery and faster charging and as far as people say exynos in s24's is not that bad.. on the other hand, I have none of those things on s25 but it has snapdragon elite.. and for 200€ more

They should've taken that "risk" with the titanium black S25 Ultra. Instead they put black glass and silver frame. 🤦♂️ Should've been red buttons, red spen and maybee even red camera rings and the rest of the phone black. So many ways to flare red and black but no they chose silver.
5:19 here in the Philippines during the pre orders only the 512GB is available The deal here is “free storage upgrade” and all models start at 256 GB. I was surprised to even see there’s 128Gb of this. I got a 512 for just 200 usd. After trade in and promo codes.
Important note, the 128GB phone is actually SLOWER, because it literally has slower storage. This is NOT a new phone, nor should it be called a flagship, it's as outaded as it can be, except for its software and flagship chipset.
GSMARENA actually confirmed your acute sense of hearing, Sir Wade. The new Samsung Galaxy S25 vanilla measured at -26.1 LUFS (Good), a slight deviation from -25.2 LUFS (Very good) of the good ol' S24 for dual speakers output. The Coral Red and Navy Blue colors definitely stood out. It's in the same league as the S24 Sandstone Orange and S24 Ultra Titanium Orange which I fortunately own. Yes, there is no need to upgrade because the upcoming OneUI7 will bring the most, if not all, AI features to the S24 series.
Okay as much as I’ve talked bad about these phones the red looks great actually. It even makes the new camera rings look decent. I would prefer this over the ultra just on the color alone cause that’s probably the best change Samsung brought 🤣
S10+ user here and I'm just waiting for comparisons between the S25 and the S25 plus before making an upgrade decision. A longer battery life might convince me to get the latter because it would otherwise just cost a lot more money for things that aren't must-haves for me like a higher resolution or faster charging.
my S20 have been ideally working for almost 5 years (!) and it's still working great, but I needed a new one as I broke its screen... So just got my new S25 yesterday, in navy blue - beautiful color. So far so good, everything is well. I like its size, not heavy... Still going to do a test for Camera :) What's really annoying is that the phone is not laying flat because of that thick cameras and when you type on keyboard when the phone is on a table it's 'jumping' with every tap... another thing, not really about the phone itself, but about official Samsung case - I ordered a transparent one so the color is not hidden.. what I can tell is that Samsung case make the phone look so-so cheap, the case material is the worst I saw in sense that it's collecting all touches and it looks so-so dirty because of the fingerprints... and it's very hard to clean... but still makes no sense as it becomes dirty after each touch
128GB is just too small for a flagship. They should have 256GB at least. In the Philippines, they have 256GB by default and their pre-order promo is 512GB for the same price as the 256GB
i snatched my friend's s23 ultra gave him my oneplus 12r forcefully, even though he was completely satisfied with s23 ultra. then i traded that in for s25+ , now i love this phone.... i m such a monster.... my friend is still crying somewhere in the corner,,, i hope god forgives him for his mistakes...
ppl are stupid who said big phones are better or sell more?? they sell more cause they make big phones like sheeps all of them. give me the apple results u have the pros big and smaller, what one sells more? the base model and the + what one sells more? ...
I accept the fact that this year's hardware is basically the same. I've never liked One UI, but One UI 7 looks really good. I may have to give it a try.

OMG that coral Red is stunning.
Had to have it when I saw it 💯
Its not coral red....It is period red....
@@NattyKing1 i just got it today, it kind of is a CORAL red more than just a flat-out red. It has some pink and orange elements to it.
For us europeans, it's a step forward, because we get a snapdragon instead the exynos again...
Tymon K rejoices
I Feel you, from the Philippines!
very significant upgrade
That's the reason why I pre ordered s25 plus.
I'm coming from s22 plus exynos and this will be my last exynos phone.
same here, the main reason that I got stuck with Asus and Xiaomi flagships. Now I'm getting my first Samsung phone since Note 2 lol
the exclusive colors are the best thing about these. especially the red
I think Samsung could’ve gone even crazier. Give us an orange or a lime green or a full-on pink
Wow exclusive color nah bro just copy from Apple natural titanium nah titanium gray,desert titanium nah pink gold 😂
I have the S20 FE in red and I am obsessed and never wanted to upgrade him. But I guess the time for upgrade has come and this color is stunning.!!
I had the red S20 FE for a little while. Had to let it go cause it was too bulky in a case and the display was 720p
Those new colors are crazy
I totally agree fellow youtube person
Crazy good or bad?
@Techly23Amazing for girls useless for everyone else
Why crazy? you n like?
Not they are not
I think this red is the most popular one. On their website, it's the only color that'll ship as late as March.
red and the blue one. (onlines i think are delayed more). Its a bit like the iphone colour
The packaging changed more than the phone 💀
For real homie

This will be the last small s-line phone, this one will be replaced by the s26 slim next year😢
Lucky here in Indonesia we got free storage upgrade from 256gb to 512gb for around $810 in Preorder period
the perks of having samsung factory inside the country. I got the regular s25 512gb for about $668 including trade-in

That coral red throws back to the S20 FE days
the coral red color is super pretty love it 😊... this phone looks awsome congrats 😊...

Snapdragon is overrated lol
Great idea skipping S24 Exynos!
The navy blue and red are the best looking ones!
lol I guess the icy blue S25 decided to not show up at 1:01 😅
XD
Samsung Galaxy S25 best
💯
I was just looking for a vid on this color and you just posted it!! 😂😂
Took me long enough 😅
I got the mint green one today but this one is stunning 😍. Wish it wasnt a samsung exclusive color this would of sold like hotcakes at the carriers. 😢
Mint Green was my 2nd choice - really liked it! Wish Samsung wasn’t so scared of colors lol
@@TechDaily apple isn’t afraid of colors they are always coming out with new colors
Mint green 💚 is the best color in the carriers. I love that color!!

Yeah same here its a better deal to buy the s25 plus then the regular s25
It's not about the money, i prefer the smaller and lighter s25 over the other bricks
The plus is the best way to go. You'll love the battery life. The base model sucks on battery life.

How do you know it sycks, it's still new @@katinasoutherland7693
7:28 Samsung owns Harman Kardon, JBL, and AKG....they might not have utilized these companies for the S25, but I thought it was worth a mention.
Since tiny phone speakers can’t do much anyways, they just need put good audio processing algorithms on the speakers like apple
Got my s25 plus in coral red best color imo.
@@green9227 Coral Red and Navy Blue for me
0:23 Only colors were major upgrades this time around.
It looks stunning. I wish they do away with shiny glossy reflective look on their budget to mid offerings so it can be as pretty as this out of the box.
They’ve pretty much done that with the A16/A35/A55. I think the A06 is the only glossy one left?
@@TechDailydi A35 is still glossy I think. It has rainbow reflection/shine under the light. I might need to check on that though to confirm.
LOVE the smaller phones. I've always gotten the "regular" ones. I hope they don't get rid of this size option! #GalaxyS24User

My first Samsung Galaxy. Changed from an iPhone. Haven’t received it yet but thought your video was super.
This color on the ultra wouldve been amazing
Samsung doesn't like giving their best phone any colors 😅
exactly.. if this color was on the uktra I would've got it instead of the 25+
i love your channel Wade keep it up lots of love❤
Thanks so much Owen! 🙌

Thanks for watching! 😊
The iphone 15 was the best selling phone last year. and it's a compact phone
Fair point 🤷♂️ But nothing running Android is small + a best seller…or even available lol
That's why he said the only small "ANDROID" phone
@@TechDaily I wish the Xiaomi 15 and x200 pro mini were more available. Or even midrange compact options
1:05 so the colours are:
Coral Red, black, pink gold, navy, invisible and silver blue....nice
Very nice color!
That coral red and the royal blue one are stunning ♥️💙
Im given you a like 👍 for the color. Loving that coral red ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome unboxing and first impression keep it up as always coral red looks Geogeous bro
Hey thanks! The “coralred” is the one for sure
@TechDaily l even find the blue black S25 plus didn't have it in Dubai
5:15 Storage TAXES are going crazy in Samsung
5:35 So does bloatware.
12:00 the s25 base model DOES support log video.
I love your vibe! Keep shining bright!
I'm sorry for saying this but that colour looks exactly like the iPhone 12 Product RED, even the flat edges and antenna bands of the S25 makes both phones look very identical
Product red is more darker shade of red
@shawonahmed5775 not for the iPhone 12
Nice unboxing ❤

Yeah good old times
Love From Bangladesh ❤
Love from Las Vegas 👍
Those offers are crazy compared to what we get in the UK. The value difference is huge.
Thank you. Any issues with bluetooth pairing?
7:22 isn't it tuned by AKG? But nevertheless, they are a bit lacking in the audio department.
theres a sweet spot as to using a small fun. it's so sweet to the hand after using the massive ultras, seems samsung may remove the spen after removing the bt the smaller one with the small print may be a better deal
This reminded me of my old red Nexus 5! Same vibes, this colorway is so nice and is tempting me
Nice color choice!! 🎉🎉❤
Finally i can upgrade from my S21 Basic model since this S25 base has the snapdragon version in it. Also i dont really like big screen phone.
I have just upgraded to the S25, I thought maybe it was time. I however did like my old S10 but had it for a few years now.
This new software and coral color is reminding me of ios7 and I dig that!
I was sceptical I made the wrong choice with the coral red option and was even close to cancelling the order and getting the blue black. after watching this video I am pretty convinced I made the right color choice!
Do you think it's worth getting this over cheaper s24+ exynos just for the snapdragon chip??
Of course!
100%
@soulrecalibration see my thinking is I get bigger, better screen, larger battery and faster charging and as far as people say exynos in s24's is not that bad.. on the other hand, I have none of those things on s25 but it has snapdragon elite.. and for 200€ more
Get this over any s24 variant. The processor is too good by a large margin over s24 processors. And ofcourse extra RAM
Its hard to tell online. Is this red or pink?
Even though I usually like the black color on phones, the blue looks really cool and this red one too, but a little less

The base S25 only going up to 256GB in NA is a joke. In Europe and Asia, it goes up to 512GB.

Post a video. I've seen people say that. Are these reviewers just using a higher contrast to make it look super red?
