The Galaxy S25 and Pixel 9 offer class-leading cameras, all-day-long batteries, and excellent performance, but there are a few noteworthy differences

Android features unveiled at Samsung's Unpacked event narrow some of the gap between Samsung’s flavor of Android and Google’s.

Samsung's first 2025 flagship releases are out. Here's how to base models compare as we take a look at the Galaxy S25 vs Pixel 9.

As usual, the Galaxy S25+ is the larger of Samsung’s two standard models, with a 6.7-inch display. By comparison, Google has shrunk things with its Pixel 9 Pro this year, moving down to a 6.3-inch display; you’ll have to opt for the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL if you want the full-sized model.

Don’t be surprised if the Samsung Galaxy S25’s fresh approach ends up making believers out of the AI agnostics.

The Galaxy S25 series comes with a new "Now Brief" feature, which reminds us of Google Now from the Android KitKat days.

Samsung's new flagship smartphone line predictably puts AI at the forefront of its experience. They're all up for pre-order now.

During Samsung Unpacked 2025, we heard that the Galaxy S25 series phones have a "custom" (sort of) Qualcomm Snapdragon chip to power its features. That's pretty cool — we know Snapdragon chips perform well and we've seen what building an AI-tailored SoC allows in Google's Pixel phones.
