One big highlight of the Galaxy S25 is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip. It’s an upgrade over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy present in the Galaxy S23 and a powerful processor that promises snappy performance. It can handle almost anything you throw at it without breaking a sweat.

I’ve spent a little bit of time with the Galaxy S25 Plus this week, and while I haven’t yet gone extensively through the new features and capabilities, I’ve had some pretty good first impressions of the phone.
