EDITORIAL: Despite minimal upgrades the S25+ looks great. It comes with the fastest 2024 processor, memory and USB hardware, top screen and a big push in AI and overall functionality. A very complete (if uninspired) package.
PROs
good build, great SnapDragon 8 Elite with UFS 4.0 performance, excellent >1400nits >500ppi LTPO AMOLED with HDR10+, reliable 50MP 24mm OIS PDAF main + 10MP 67mm OIS PDAF telephoto + 12MP 13mm ultrawide setup, a great 12MP 26mm dual-pixel PDAF selfie, leading AI features, 7 years of OS updates, DeX software that can replace your computer for most work scenarios and a fast USB-C 3.2 with Display Port 1.2
CONs
24hr endurance from a large phone, small 4900mAh old-tech lithium battery with slow 45W (15W wireless) charging, no AF on ultrawide, 8k Video recording but no expandable storage, lack of real innovation that Samsung S series phones used to shine at

FLY* TOP Software
EDITORIAL: Oppo's 2025 top phone is limited to Chinese market but it is a worth purchase wherever you live. It has all the best phone hardware features and the only letdown are minor software inconsistencies. Performance is top of the charts but the phone will throttle under prolonged, heavy load. Following Apple, there are now 2 new hardware buttons: a Shortcut button and a iPhone-like camera control button with capacitive touch support.
PROs
great build with a Shortcut and a Quick button, top performance scores of the SD 8 Elite combined with UFS 4.1 storage, a 36hr endurance from 6100mAh Silicone anode battery with sub-40min 100W charging (50W wireless), a flat >500ppi sharp HDR10+ screen with high-frequency PWM dimming, IP69 ingress protection, a 50MP 23mm main + 2 50MP (70mm and 135mm) tele lenses (all 3 OIS PDAF) + 50MP 13mm PDAF ultrawide, excellent 32MP PDAF selfie, great video recording, 5 years of updates for stabile and feature rich OS
CONs
being one of the biggest/ heaviest (226gr) phones on the market, relatively low (1100nits) maximum brightness may frustrate you in bright outdoors light, lack of expandable storage & desktop replacement feature, stereo speakers could have been louder
