Today, Samsung launched their next-gen Galaxy S25 and S25 Ultra smartphones with a major focus on all-things AI and a new thermal architecture.

The Galaxy S25 will maintain peak performance with a newly Incorporated next-gen Heat Dissipation Architecture.  This unique structure efficiently manages heat generated inside the device to smoother and more enjoyable gameplay, streaming and multitasking.

At its core, the Vapor Chamber is now 40% larger than the previous model, spreading heat faster and more efficiently. Paired with a new, custom designed Thermal Interface Material (TIM), the Galaxy S25 takes heat management to the next level. It's a device that stays cool under pressure.

With the Galaxy S25, Samsung claims that they've reached their longest battery life yet through meticulous hardware and software optimization. And along with their Mobile Digital Natural Image Engine display tech to improve power efficiency, it translates to more time to watch videos, play games and multitasking without reaching for your charger.

While Apple's iPhone 16 added a new "Camera Button," Samsung, working with Google, introduced a unique AI Button on the side of the new Galaxy S25 to allow users to speak to AI like a friend and ask it anything. This could be a very popular feature going forward and likely to be copied by other smartphone OEMs that use Google's Gemini.

Overall, Samsung Electronics announced the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 that sets a new standard as a true AI companion with their 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 Platform for Galaxy chipset delivers greater on-device processing power for Galaxy AI1 and superior camera range and control with Galaxy’s next-gen ProVisual Engine.

TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business" At Samsung Electronics The greatest innovations are a reflection of our 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. Galaxy S25 series opens the door to an AI-integrated OS that fundamentally shifts how we use technology and how we live our lives.”

Just press and hold the side button (as pictured above) 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 Call Transcript4 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 between applications. Drawing Assist5 unlocks fresh ways to bring ideas to life through combinations of sketches, text or image prompts.
