Galaxy S25 at a glance
8.5/10GetLow rating
Our take, in a number
Provisional · Specification-based
The 162g body, 6.2-inch screen and flagship processor offer an appealing smaller-phone balance. The 4,000mAh battery specification and 25W charging are less ambitious than some larger rivals.
Why this rating?
GetLow editorial assessment, . We weigh the published features, practical compromises, intended buyer and value proposition described in this guide. This is a qualitative judgement, not a calculated benchmark or customer average.
9–10: exceptional on paper; 8–8.5: a strong shortlist choice; 7–7.5: good for the right buyer; 5–6.5: substantial compromises; 1–4.5: difficult to recommend.
We have not hands-on tested this phone. Real-world speed, photo quality and battery endurance are not proven by this score. Basic and accessibility phones are judged for their intended use, not as flagship substitutes. For refurbished phones, the score describes the model, not the condition or battery of an individual unit. A score is not a rating of every contract: compare the current total cost separately.
Start with the size, camera and storage you need. The lowest monthly price alone does not tell you whether this is the right phone.
What to weigh up
Check the exact storage, colour and condition on the retailer page. Refurbished grades, battery policies and warranties vary.
Worth the upgrade?
Compare it with the phone you already own. Pay for a useful improvement, not just a newer model name.
About this guide: GetLow explains published specifications and compares UK contract listings. It is not a hands-on laboratory test. Battery and charging figures depend on the manufacturer's test conditions; everyday results vary.

Build your own phone comparison
Select any three phones and compare them side by side
The Samsung Galaxy S25 is selected first. Change any selector to compare it with two other current phones from Samsung, or with the wider market when fewer than three Samsung models are available.
Every price card keeps monthly cost, upfront payment, total cost, data, contract length and condition attached to the same live listing. The specification table then shows the hardware differences that may justify paying more.
Design and display
What the Galaxy S25 is like to hold and look at
The Galaxy S25 uses 6.2-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X with a 1080 x 2340 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. These are the screen details to compare with the alternatives above.
Its physical specification is 146.9 x 70.5 x 7.2 mm at 162g. Consider that size against how often you use a phone one-handed and whether it needs to fit a smaller pocket.

Cameras
Compare the camera hardware before paying an upgrade premium
The Galaxy S25 lists 50MP + 12MP + 10MP on the rear and 12MP at the front. Sensor count alone does not decide image quality, but it tells you which focal lengths and selfie hardware are included.
If photography is the reason you are considering this phone, compare its complete camera setup with the other two selected models and then weigh that difference against the live total-cost gap.
Rear camera50MP + 12MP + 10MP
Front camera12MP
Battery and charging
Battery comfort matters for the whole contract
The listed battery specification is 4,000mAh, paired with 25W wired charging. Capacity and charging speed are useful comparison points, although real endurance still depends on signal, brightness, apps and battery condition.
For a refurbished offer, check the retailer battery policy and warranty as carefully as the headline price. For a new phone, compare whether the charger you need is supplied or already owned.

Performance and software
The hardware and software you will live with
The Galaxy S25 is built around Snapdragon 8 Elite. That platform affects app speed, camera processing, gaming and how comfortably the phone should age through a multi-year contract.
Its listed software platform is Android 15, One UI 7. Check the manufacturer update policy alongside the contract term, especially if you intend to keep the handset after the final payment.

New and refurbished buying checks
Protect the saving before you order
Current offers include both new and refurbished listings, so compare like with like. A low price is only good value when the condition, storage, warranty, returns terms and battery policy suit what you expect to receive.
Use total contract cost after any stated code as the first comparison, then check data and storage on the same basis. Availability can change as retailers update stock.
Confirm whether the selected listing is new or refurbished.
Check the exact storage and colour before leaving GetLow.
Read the warranty, returns and refurbished battery terms.
Compare the total contract cost rather than monthly price alone.

What is the cheapest Samsung Galaxy S25 contract today?
At the current GetLow check, prices start at £6.00 per month and £468.40 in total. These floors can belong to different listings, so compare the full deal cards before ordering.
Can I compare the Galaxy S25 with other phones?
Yes. The three-phone tool starts with the Samsung Galaxy S25 selected and lets you change either alternative while keeping live price and specification differences together.
Are Galaxy S25 deals new or refurbished?
Current offers include both new and refurbished listings, so compare like with like. Use the condition shown on each deal and check the retailer warranty and battery policy.
Which Galaxy S25 deal should I choose?
Start with total contract cost, then compare upfront payment, monthly price, data, storage, condition and term. The cheapest-looking monthly price is not always the cheapest contract overall.
The verdict
The right Samsung Galaxy S25 deal is the one where its useful hardware justifies the live total cost. Compare condition, storage and data like for like, then choose the contract rather than the headline monthly price.
