This one's easy. Last year, the Galaxy S24 started at $799. This year, the Galaxy S25 starts at...$799. It's a wash, in other words. That said, it's possible that Samsung drops the price of the S24 after the launch of the S25, but until that happens, these two phones cost the same amount of money.

The Galaxy S25 is a tale of two AIs: Gemini and Bixby. Yes, while Google's Gemini AI assistant sits at the forefront—it can finally be triggered through a long press of the power button—Samsung is bringing its original Bixby voice assistant out from the shadows.

Samsung touted improvements to its Galaxy AI system and the AI-enabled Google Gemini assistant. Most of the upgrades are available on the latest One UI 7 software release, which will be available for older S-series generations sometime after the S25 release, Samsung says.
