What the reviewers said

3.5/5Jul 21, 2025

A respectable, thinner mid-ranger with better software support, but it lags on performance and features versus the wider mid-range market and feels pricey.

  • Thinner and lighter than predecessor
  • Good One UI experience with useful AI additions
  • Improved fast charging
  • Six years of OS and security updates
  • Brighter display and new selfie camera
  • Secondary cameras add little value
  • Weak gaming performance with Exynos 1580
  • Lacklustre speakers
  • Pricey for the features offered
  • Optical fingerprint sensor slow and inconsistent

4/5Apr 15, 2025

A well-built, premium-feeling mid-range phone with thinner design and solid cameras, but a safe pick with no standout feature and a higher price.

  • Premium glass and aluminium build for a mid-range price
  • Slim design and bigger 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with slim bezels
  • Long software update promise
  • Solid daytime camera performance
  • Faster 45W charging
  • More expensive than the predecessor
  • Macro lens adds little value
  • No Galaxy AI-branded features
  • Low-light photos have a purple tinge
  • IP67 rating rather than IP68

Verdicts, pros and cons are short summaries in our words of each publisher's review; scores are as the publisher gave them. Specs are taken from the reviews' spec boxes — where they differ, we show the value most of them give; price is the US launch price of the base model. Read the originals for the full picture.
