Samsung Unveils Galaxy S25 Series: Redefining AI-Driven Mobile Experiences with Unmatched Performance

Samsung Unveils Galaxy S25 Series: Redefining AI-Driven Mobile Experiences with Unmatched Performance
Pioneering the multimodal era with the most context-aware and personalized mobile experience

 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25, setting a new standard as a true AI companion with our most natural and context-aware mobile experiences ever created. Introducing multimodal AI agents, the Galaxy S25 series is the first step in Samsung’s vision to change the way users interact with their phone – and with their world. A first-of-its-kind customized Snapdragon® 8 Elite Mobile Processor for Galaxy chipset delivers greater on-device processing power for Galaxy AI and superior camera range and control with Galaxy’s next-gen ProVisual Engine.

Samsung

“The greatest innovations are a reflection of their users, which is why we evolved Galaxy AI to help everyone interact with their devices more naturally and effortlessly while trusting that their privacy is secured,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “Galaxy S25 series opens the door to an AI-integrated OS that fundamentally shifts how we use technology and how we live our lives.”

Our Most Intuitive and Effortless Mobile Interactions Yet
With One UI 7 , the Galaxy S25 series is a true AI companion that understands the context of your needs and preferences and provides personalized AI experiences with privacy assured at every turn. This marks the beginning of a collaborative vision with Google to place AI at the heart of Android, uniting developers and partners from across the globe.

AI agents with multimodal capabilities enable Galaxy S25 to interpret text, speech, images, and videos for interactions that feel natural. Google’s Circle to Search has been upgraded to deliver a faster, more helpful, and context-aware screen search experience. With these enhancements, it can now instantly identify phone numbers, emails, and URLs on your screen, allowing you to call, email, or access a website with just one tap.

You can also perform actionable searches with context-aware suggestions for the next steps. Plus, Galaxy S25 makes it frictionless to switch between apps for quick follow-up actions, like sharing a GIF or saving event details.

Galaxy S25 also represents a breakthrough in natural language understanding, making everyday interactions easier. Simply ask and intuitively find a specific photo in Samsung Gallery or adjust the size of display fonts in Settings.

Just press and hold the side button to activate Gemini and perform seamless interaction across Samsung and Google apps, plus third-party apps such as Spotify. For example, find your favorite sports team’s season schedule and add it to Samsung Calendar with a single command.

These intuitive interactions are elevated by expansions to Galaxy AI’s popular tools for communication, productivity, and creativity. Galaxy S25 keeps calls organized with a Call Transcript and summary. Writing Assist features such as summarizing content or automatically formatting notes can be enabled where texts can be selected, without needing to switch applications. Drawing Assist unlocks fresh ways to bring ideas to life through combinations of sketches, text, or image prompts.

Hyper-personalized Experiences with Privacy Secured
In the era of AI, personalization goes hand-in-hand with privacy. On Galaxy S25, the Personal Data Engine powers personalized AI features by safely analyzing your data on-device to deliver highly tailored experiences that reflect your preferences and usage patterns. These insights enable tailored experiences such as searching for an old photo in the Gallery using natural language or being guided through the day with Now Brief , which proactively offers suggestions accessible via Now Bar on the lock screen. All personalized data is kept private and secured by Knox Vault. Combined with enhanced on-device processing capabilities, this creates a powerful, protected AI experience that is unique to Galaxy.

Galaxy S25 also introduces Post-quantum Cryptography, safeguarding personal data against emerging threats that could increase as quantum computing evolves.

Because there is no privacy without holistic security, One UI 7 laid the groundwork for these innovations by introducing an extra, fortified layer of device safety designed for the age of AI and hyper-connectivity. Additional updates include added Maximum Restrictions settings, enhanced Theft Protection, and a new Knox Matrix dashboard to monitor the security status across a connected device ecosystem.

Galaxy’s Most Powerful Performance Ever
The Galaxy S25 series is powered by the Snapdragon® 8 Elite for Galaxy. With unique customizations by Galaxy, this is the most powerful processor ever on the Galaxy S series, delivering a performance boost of 40% in NPU, 37% in CPU , and 30% in GPU compared to the previous generation. This power fuels the Galaxy S25 series’ ability to process more AI experiences on-device without compromise, including previously cloud-based AI tasks such as

 

Generative Edit .

Samsung and Qualcomm Technologies collaborated to customize the Snapdragon® 8 Elite for Galaxy. The Galaxy S25 series features advanced, efficient AI image processing with ProScaler to achieve a 40% improvement in display image scaling quality, while incorporating custom technology with Samsung’s mobile Digital Natural Image engine (mDNIe) embedded within the processor using Galaxy IP to enable greater display power efficiency.

Snapdragon® 8 Elite for Galaxy is also equipped with a Vulkan Engine and improved Ray Tracing, which makes for smoother and more realistic mobile gaming.

All intense device usage and AI processing run smoothly thanks to a changed heat dissipation structure with a 40% larger vapor chamber and a tailored thermal interface material (TIM) that delivers extra improvement in thermal efficiency.

Unleashing Truly Pro Creation
The Galaxy S25 series delivers ultra-detailed shots at every range with high-resolution sensors and ProVisual Engine, setting a new standard for mobile photography. With a new 50MP ultrawide camera sensor upgraded from the previous 12MP, the Galaxy S25 Ultra provides exceptional clarity and vibrancy.

10-bit HDR recording is now applied by default, offering four times richer color expression compared to 8-bit. Galaxy S25 can thus capture details in any lighting conditions. Plus, low-light videos have never been clearer than with Galaxy S25 . Leveraging powerful processor, the Galaxy S25 analyzes movement and time to reduce noise more effectively. This integration allows the detection of both moving and static objects with greater precision, ensuring sharper, cleaner footage in any scenario.

Galaxy S25 also introduces a range of tools once limited to specialized software, making advanced editing accessible for all. Now anyone can be a pro at editing photos and videos. Audio Eraser simplifies the removal of unwanted noise in videos. By isolating categories of sounds – including voices, music, wind, nature, crowd, and noise – you can control what to tone down or eliminate entirely.

For a DSLR-like experience on mobile, Galaxy S25 introduces depth-of-field control with Virtual Aperture, integrated into the popular Expert RAW . Galaxy S25 also elevates cinematic creativity with Galaxy Log, enabling precise color grading options for more professional video production.

Portrait Studio has also been enhanced, allowing users to create personalized avatars with more true-to-life facial expressions. Filters introduces new analog-style filters, delivering a film-like aesthetic for their photos and videos.

Durable Design Embracing a More Circular Approach
The Galaxy S25 series builds upon Galaxy’s ‘Essential Design’ grounded in ‘Simple, Impactful and Emotive’ elements. Galaxy S25 Ultra refines this essence into the slimmest, lightest, and most durable Galaxy S series yet, with a rounded edge for a comfortable grip that complements the series’ aesthetic identity.

Galaxy S25 Ultra features durable titanium and the new Corning® Gorilla® Armor 2, a first-of-its-kind material that is more durable than glass. It combines Corning’s glass-ceramic with a proprietary anti-reflective surface treatment, helping to ensure advanced drop protection alongside anti-reflection surface treatment and scratch resistance.

Every external component of Galaxy S25+ and S25 now includes at least one recycled material , as their metal frame incorporates recycled armor aluminum for the first time .

In addition, while every Galaxy S25 series device uses a minimum of 50% recycled cobalt for its battery , the Galaxy S25 will be the first Galaxy smartphone to feature batteries made with recycled cobalt sourced from previous Galaxy devices or the batteries discarded during the manufacturing process. Samsung goes through multiple stages with its like-minded partners, from extracting cobalt from used batteries to re-using recycled cobalt for the batteries of Galaxy S25.

Combined with seven generations of OS upgrades and seven years of security updates , the Galaxy S25 series ensures a reliable and optimized performance over a longer lifespan.

For greater peace of mind, Samsung Care+ offers comprehensive coverage for accidental damage, repairs, and replacements, ensuring peace of mind for Galaxy users. Plus, Samsung is introducing the New Galaxy Club . For users who love having the latest technology, this flexible subscription model is designed to make owning and upgrading Galaxy devices more convenient than ever. Regional details and availability will be announced at a later date.

Every Galaxy S25 device includes a complimentary 6-month subscription to Gemini Advanced along with 2TB of cloud storage. With Gemini Advanced, users gain access to Samsung’s most advanced AI models and exclusive features such as Gems, personalized AI experts for any subject, and Deep Research, a dedicated AI research assistant designed to simplify complex tasks.

S25 Ultra will be available in Titanium Silver blue, Titanium Black, Titanium White silver, and Titanium Gray. Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ will be available in Navy, Silver Shadow, Icyblue, and Mint.

These elements have been achieved by the company in its projects in the New Administrative Capital and will continue to be implemented in its future projects.

Alienware is reintroducing the iconic Area-51 back into the family

.Alienware is reintroducing the iconic Area-51 back into the family, reanimated in desktop and laptop forms. Deep lore underpins Area-51, dating back to 1998

While the design, technology and gameplay have evolved significantly from iteration to iteration, one fact has remained the same: Area-51 represents the best that Alienware offers.

Reclaiming its position at the apex of our portfolio, the new Area-51 Desktop and Area-51 Laptops debut an arsenal of cutting-edge features to power

,the next generation of AAA gameplay. Powered by NVIDIA® Blackwell, GeForce RTX™ 50 Series GPUs multiply performance with NVIDIA DLSS 4

generate images at unprecedented speed, unleash creativity with NVIDIA Studio and support the latest NVIDIA NIM microservices—optimized AI models

for language, speech, vision, content generation and more—that let enthusiasts and developers build AI assistants, productivity plug-ins and content creation workflows with peak performance.

ALIENWARE AREA-51 DESKTOP

.Area-51 Desktop makes a bold entrance to retake the throne as Alienware’s flagship gaming PC

With this edition, we are returning to our roots with a machine that caters to the desires of PC gaming enthusiasts and longtime Alienware fans who have a deep appreciation for technology and a can-do attitude for manually customizing their build to their needs.

.It is an icon that honors the wishes of all gamers seeking unyielding performance and the ability to make serious upgrades for years to come

.We devoted years to carefully planning and developing this platform, guided each step of the way by learnings gathered from the gaming community

.This feedback helped shape the direction of this platform, influencing all aspects from product design to technology implementation to airflow patterns

As our full-size 80L tower, it stands tall as our marquee platform designed for gamers seeking elite performance and standard components in a scalable design.

Elite Performance: With available headroom for more than 600W of dedicated graphics power and up to 280W of dedicated processing power,

Area-51 supports the highest performance components up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 GPU and Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 285K CPU, allowing games to run and sustain at their limits.

Standard Components: Industry standard components allow the most critical parts to be easily replaced and serviced, including the motherboard, power supply, CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, fans and more.

Scalable Design: At 80L, this full-size tower is designed to comfortably support and exceed the size requirements of today’s largest components, prepare for future upgrades, and create the ideal thermal solution.

Positive Pressure Design

With every Alienware product launch, the chief charter for our engineers is to maximize gaming performance while maintaining low temperatures and noise. The thermal architecture and airflow decisions are a critical piece of that puzzle.

We looked at various airflow models to determine the most effective thermal design and then sculpted the overall desktop blueprint around this solution.

After countless tests, we implemented an all-new positive pressure airflow system with three different fan sizes that all point inward toward the chassis to pull in cool air from the environment.

Gaskets inside the chassis create a seal to prevent leakage and build positive pressure that expels heated air out the back with a pressurized passive exhaust. That’s right – there are no exhaust fans.

This approach reduces air recirculation to maximize overall flowrate.

Here’s how it works… Dual 140mm fans direct cool ambient air upward toward the GPU fans ensuring maximum graphics performance.

Larger dual 180mm fans push air laterally toward the GPU, CPU and memory from the front of the chassis. Lastly,

dual or triple 120mm fans are included for liquid cooling configurations to pull in additional air from the top.

This creates a greater internal air pressure compared to the outside and forces heated air to expel through the rear of the chassis.

By combining these larger fan sizes and advanced liquid cooling configurations, the positive pressure design moves 25% more air through the chassis,

helping Area-51 run up to 13% cooler and 45% quieter during graphics intensive tasks.

All these advancements translate to real performance improvements to the tune of 50% more processing power,

making Area-51 ready to meet the demands of today and anticipate the needs of the future.

Upgradeability, Maintenance and Materials

Upgradeability is an integral part of the Area-51 customer experience. QR codes found inside the chassis guide customers to instructional videos on how to complete updates, repairs and modifications of key components.

This includes guides on how to change the RAM, GPU, SSD, power supply and conduct basic maintenance like cleaning filters and fans.

The motherboard is also replaceable with the purchase of an optional AlienFX motherboard harness that is required when installing third-party aftermarket motherboards.

Gamers can stop dust in its tracks and keep the system performing at its best for longer with three removable, cleanable filters on the front,

top and bottom air intakes. The filters ensure unrestricted airflow and minimize dust accumulating on internal components such as fans.

The spacious full-tower design allows easy access to the inside of the desktop with plenty of room for your hands to maneuver around.

A knob on the back of the desktop unlocks the dual side doors so you can easily access the interior components. Once open, gamers will find a spacious interior behind the tempered glass panel along with neatly organized cable routing behind the solid side panel.

A handle recess on the back of the machine and the front loop allows for easy lifting – though we recommend grabbing a friend to help.

Top-Shelf Performance Features

At the heart of the experience is the selection of high-performance components. Here’s our quick overview of additional components that complete the Area-51 Desktop experience:

Dual channel RAM configurations up to 64GB DDR5 XMP (2x 32GB) at 6400 MT/s.

Up to 8TB of Storage via 4TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4 SSD (boot) + 4TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4 SSD (storage).

Armed with either 360mm Liquid Cooling (LC) or 240mm LC, while enabling a DIY upgradeability path to 420mm LC.

Powered by a 1500W Platinum Rated ATX12VO Power Supply (PSU) or an 850W Gold Rated ATX12VO PSU.

Seven customizable AlienFX lighting zones with over 16.7 million colors and six different lighting effects, all managed in the Alienware Command Center (AWCC).
