Performance – Samsung Galaxy S25
While the availability of a 3nm process SoC is interesting it is unlikely to be what powers the Galaxy S25 at launch, as Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy SoC will handle processing duties in most global markets, while select regions get Samsung’s own Exynos 2500 chipset built on that new 3nm process. As mentioned above, both versions produce superb performance; however, the Snapdragon model has just a slight edge in sustained graphics output.
The S25 Ultra tested over an the score of 2,000 single-core and 6,000 multi-core from Geekbench 6 benchmarks, which would place it near the top of fastest smartphones in 2025. The GPU is also impressive, generating high frame rates in demanding titles such as Genshin Impact or Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile at maximum settings.
Redesigned vapor chamber cooling enables sustained gaming performance without throttling due to superior thermals, even during the most demanding games. The AI also helps in balancing the workload to make multitasking a swift experience, prioritizing rendering of active apps and reducing background drain.
All variants are offered with 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM, depending on configuration, and UFS 4.0 storage for quick app launching and fast file transfers. For power users, the S25 Ultra offers up to 1TB of internal storage.
The Galaxy S25 is fast and smooth in everything from high-end gaming to productivity, and that consistent performance should make it a joy to use for years.
