Pros and Cons
Samsung Galaxy S25
Strengths
Zero risk for Samsung with this spec bump, making it a textbook example of a zero-risk upgrade.
The new chip, Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, might be a big enough bump that we notice it and maybe we don't even need a much bigger battery.
The new ISP on the chip might breathe new life into these cameras, potentially surprising us with better performance.
Samsung has been good about software updates lately, promising seven years of updates on their newest flagships.
The new One UI 7 is a refreshed look with fresh aesthetics and iOS-inspired features, making it a nice update to the S25.
Weaknesses
It's just a spec bump, with no IP69, no silicon carbide battery, no ultra-fast charging, and no brighter display.
The new camera features might not be enough to justify an upgrade for those who already have a decently new phone.
Some of the AI features are cool but debatable in terms of how much value they bring to the phone.
Clear cases can turn yellow over time, which is a problem dbrand's Ghost Case 2.0 aims to solve.
The only way to tell the S25 Ultra from the S24 is by a new colorway, making it hard for some users to justify an upgrade.
realme GT7
Strengths
Realme understands how to keep cost under control to create a Flagship killer and this phone is their latest Masterpiece
The gt7 pro screen uses Samsung's latest equal square olad plus panel, which is usually used in foldable phones, thanks to the poess technology which means that the polarizer has been removed, the brightness has been increased dramatically and the power consumption has been reduced as well
High performance has always been the main setting point of the GT series this year's Snapdragon 8 Elite is particularly powerful so the gt7 pro has dipped into the water both the benchmark scores and a game experience are much better than the previous gen
The 6,500 mAh battery puts all phones so far behind the longer it use the bigger the gap between it and other phones will be, 120W wi charging will get it to full battery in about half an hour
Photography is definitely not something the gt7 pro excels at as I said its telephoto camera compared to the GT5 pro has also been downgraded but the new sensor is not really weak
Weaknesses
The telephoto camera is downgraded to IMX a882 and Ultra wide camera is budget phone level, which makes it not as good as other flexure phones
While it's charging disappeared and USB is still 2.0, these are the things that make it not not as good as other flexure phones on the bright side it has upgraded all the major features
The viewing angle has gotten worse but I think it's acceptable as it doesn't really affect the experience that much
Unfortunately our monitoring program went wrong there was no way to accurately measure its gaming power consumption, so estimating it based on percentage of battery the gt7 pro also takes the lead
Photography is not something the gt7 pro excels at, and the noise control on the telephoto camera is something terrible

Samsung Galaxy S25
The Samsung Galaxy S25 is a textbook example of a spec bump - zero risk for the manufacturer, and consequently, its target demographic. The new phone boasts incremental upgrades over its predecessor, including a slightly larger screen, improved cameras, and a more powerful chip. However, whether these changes are enough to justify an upgrade remains to be seen. This review will examine if the S25's modest improvements are sufficient to sway those already satisfied with their existing device.
realme GT7
The Realme GT7 Pro has arrived, bringing with it the promise of a flagship phone at an affordable price point. With its Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, advanced cooling system, and Samsung E6 OLED display, this device is sure to impress. But at what cost? The camera capabilities have been downgraded, the ultra-wide camera struggles in low light conditions, and there's no wireless charging. Is the GT7 Pro a true flagship killer, or are these compromises necessary to keep prices under $500?
