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.

The phone offers excellent gaming performance, with support for several gaming enhancements such as AI God assist 2.0, real-time strategy, and a smooth 120 FPS experience.

Weaknesses

The Realme Neo7 is priced at a mid-range level, which may be a drawback for those expecting a flagship device with matching price tag.
While the phone has impressive specs, its performance may not be on par with some of the other high-end devices in the market.
Some users may find the 8.56 mm thickness of the phone to be slightly bulkier than expected.
The phone's large battery size and resulting weight may make it less portable for those who prefer a more compact device.
The Realme Neo7 does not have any significant design or feature upgrades over its predecessor, which may lead to some disappointment among existing fans.
