EDITORIAL: The new Pixel Pro is a bit smaller, beautifully crafted phone with excellent screen, great camera setup and a very long list of AI (and other features) baked into OS with long support plan. Price is up but still gets you only a mediocre processor and a shamefully bad battery (in both endurance and charging speed) for a $1,100 lounch price.
PROs
flagship build with a new 5-color RGB light, excellent and very bright 2400nits ~500ppi 120Hz LTPO OLED screen with HDR10+, IP68 protection, very good 50MP 25mm OIS main + 48MP 106mm OIS periscope telephoto + 48MP 12mm ultrawide (all PDAF) setup, excellent 42MP 18mm PDAF selfie, good video recording, feature rich OS with a promise of 7 years of updates, basic desktop replacement functionality, fast USB-C 3.2 port, Satellite SOS Service
CONs
midrange Tensor G6 (3nm) with UFS 4.0 performance, 24hr endurance from a sub-5000mAh lithium battery with slow 80min 25W (25W wireless) charging, low PWM screen dimming rate will give headaches to some users, no expandable memory, gone is the skin temperature sensor, limited market availability, expensive at lounch

EDITORIAL: S25 is taking on other flagship phones with excellent (very pocketable) build, great screen, good cameras, excellent selfie and of course: DeX -the best desktop replacement software there is. This year, Samsung is focusing on the software side, adding tons of features meant to set it apart. The battery tests confirmed our expectations: S25 offers no improvement over S24's mediocre battery life and charging performance. S25 is not bad but what a shame to have to worry about topping up your phone before going out in the evening.
PROs
just 70mm wide, fast SnapDragon 8 Elite performance, 1400+nits bright >410ppi 120Hz LTPO AMOLED screen with HDR10+, very good 50MP 24mm OIS AF main + 10MP 67mm OIS AF tele + 12MP 13mm ultrawide setup, excellent 12MP 26mm PDAF Selfie, leading AI features, 7 years of OS updates and DeX software that can save you so much money, fast USB-C 3.2 with Display Port and OTG, global availability and service
CONs
less-than-a-day battery endurance, fixed focus ultrawide is it's imaging weakness, no expandable storage
