Hey everyone!

I’m planning to buy a phone that I can comfortably use for the next 5 years without feeling the need to upgrade.

My main priorities are good performance in the long run, decent battery life, and long software support. Samsung’s 7 years of updates are a big reason I’m considering the S25. I’m hoping to get around 6–7 hours of SOT, and I don’t mind replacing the battery at an authorized service center after 3 years if needed.

The Galaxy S25 256GB is currently available for ₹65,999 on Flipkart. Is that a good price, or should I wait for a better deal?

Would love to hear from people who actually use the S25. How’s the battery life in everyday use? Does it heat up a lot, and do you think it’ll hold up well for 4–5 years?

(P.S. I literally got my credit card yesterday and missed all the offers 🥲 So I’m wondering if I should just go for it now or wait a little longer.)

I am using my phone more than usual these days but i dont ever remember it getting this hot before. Its not burning hot but its hot enough that its irritating to hold.

How can i know whats causing it and get it to cool off.

I Rounded the things I've noticed does anyone have this same issue i have been facing, it looks too contrasty on the normal reels panel, once I open the description panel it just goes away. Do i have to change any settings or an insagram bug

wifi & mobile data animations are so weird, looks like some Motorola or Funtouch Os animations.

So I ordered s25 from truenet commerce on flipkart at 54k, and it is scheduled to be delivered today, so what should I do because Right now, the price has been increased by 7k.

“Took this on my Galaxy S25. How does it look? Any tips to improve it? 🌙📱”

After updating my S25, I can see changes on my battery life. Back on one ui 8.5, my battery is being able to last 1.5 to 2 days. Now, it can be a day, or maybe less.

Is there any tips u can recommend so my battery can last longer?

For now, it's turned on saving maximum capacity option, I just disabled 60hz and put it to normal. Everything else is default.

After updating my phone to One UI 9 since last week, the battery got really bad and I thought it will get better in time but after a week of updating it is still the same, I used to get 6-7 hours of Screen on time with my usage and as you can see on the picture it went half the number, the main problem that I notice is that the battery is draining more even when the phone is idle or not used, any help is appreciated.

There is something going on with USB c ports on some Samsung models. Something is just not right about it. It intermittent charges; and seems to very picky about when I decided it wants to charge and from what cable. I wouldn't be surprised if they come out and say something in a years or two time..haven't had any phone do this to me ever.

Mostly has happened after 8.5 - anybody else have charging problems also?

I'm considering buying a Galaxy S25 (256GB, 12GB RAM) in near-new condition with 11 months of local warranty for around EGP 35,500 in Egypt(700 dollar due to taxes also).

I want to keep my next phone for at least 4 years, so I'm trying to understand its long-term reliability before making a decision.

For those who have owned the regular Galaxy S25 for several months, I'd really appreciate your honest experience with:

- Battery life: How much screen-on time do you typically get? Does it last a full day with normal social media, camera use, and some 4G? Has battery life noticeably deteriorated after software updates?

- Overheating: Does it get noticeably warm during everyday use, such as Instagram, YouTube, browsing, or using mobile data? Does it heat up excessively while recording video?

- Display issues: Have you experienced green lines, green tint, graininess, uneven gray colors, or any other display defects?

- Performance and smoothness: Does it remain consistently smooth, or have you noticed stutters, frame drops, or performance issues over time?

- Camera and video: Any autofocus problems, blurry photos, dropped frames, or video recording issues?

- Long-term ownership: If you've used it for a year or longer, would you still recommend it?

I'm coming from a Nothing Phone (2a), which I've been using for about 2 yearsq, and I've had several frustrating issues: green tint on the lock screen, black crush and washed-out colors in videos, network instability (showing 5G while consuming 4G data), jitter in the Quick Settings panel, and new bugs with software updates. Despite multiple complaints, these issues remain unresolved. I really don't want to spend this much money on another phone only to face similar problems again.

Would you buy the S25 at this price, knowing you'd keep it for 4 years?

Please share your actual experience, including the negatives. I'm looking for honest long-term feedback, not just benchmark scores or launch-day reviews. Thanks!

Hello everybody, I’m an iPhone user since 6s.
But I’m getting tired of it and it’s battery life, also every nice function that I get on android is available since years.
Currently I could get the xiaomi 17 for 650€ but the Samsung s25/s25+ seems more in linear with me, idk.
What guys would you suggest me? Feel free to be honest

Hi,
Since some days I noticed that on my Galaxy S25 lockscreen notifications are only shown as tiny icon, no cards.
My settings are flagged on “Cards” (as always, cause I want to see at glance what’s inside a notification), and I haven’t make any UI update: all started all of a sudden for no reason at all.

I’ve read that it might be a problem related to the clock size in lock screen, but again: I’ve never changed it before, and making it smaller is just a quick fix but then I can’t even read calendar because I have to make it way too small to see cards.

Anyone can help? Or having the same issue? Good Lock/Lock star doesn’t seem to help in any way and I don’t know what to do anymore
It’s driving me crazy bc it’s such a dumb and random thing!

I have looked everywhere, went through many brands' catalogues and reddit posts.

I simply cannot find an AR tempered glass protector for the base S25. It's like it doesn't exist.

Samsung's own AR film is out of question for me because I want literally any kind of protection, I'm not a madman.
TPU protectors in general I want to avoid because of the sticky/rubbery feeling primarily and the lack of proper protection.
As for matte, I would really prefer not to because it isn't true AR and comes with other drawbacks like the loss in sharpness, paper-like feeling, and especially reduced color saturation.
If there really doesn't exist a single AR tempered glass protector for the S25 I will probably go with matte, though.

The only one I did find is this one. But not only is it not available, I also distrust TORRAS because of their scummy marketing labeling, as seen on this page, where they advertise with
"AR Transparency Enhancement Technology
0 Loss of Picture Quality".
They mention AR, they talk about a "100% Transparency", which might make some believe it's AR, but they're just talking about the light from the display as far as I know.

So, apart from the unavailable one, I have yet to find ANY such screen protector.
I would be infinitely grateful if anyone knows any brands or where I can find these, or if someone knows whether there is a matte one

anyone facing this? not generally but always while gaming.

Just received my S25 Ultra today, and everything looks genuine so far. The warranty expiry date is 14 October 2027, and the manufacturing date is August 2026.

Looks good so far! Has anyone else received a unit with similar dates?

Which adapter is best for S25, for maintaining good phone and battery health?

Hi! So every night I plug my phone in with it fully powered off. Sometimes when I do this, and go to sleep, in the morning it burns to touch, and hasn't charged at all! It does this with multiple chargers. Is there a fix, or do I have a faulty device? I have Verizon Mobile Protect?

Will be using a flagship phone for the first time, genuine tips are appreciated.

S25.

It keeps dropping. This must be a bug in OneUI, right? I have gone through a few cycles more now, and my battery health is at 96%. How is this even possible? I wonder if it is really my battery health, or a bug. This is a 2 month old phone! Would a factory reset help? Im actually thinking of switching to iPhone at this point..

I got one ui 9 a few days ago and I feel like my battery life and thermals have been a bit worse. Today I woke up at around 6am at 100%, left for school at 7 and used for a bit before my paper at 8 15, got out at at 12 and after using for a bit, I was on 15% at 3pm

Got a used s25 for 35k inr recently, just set it up, any tips and tricks to use it to its full capabilities?

Also looking for customization suggestions and ideas.

I am a college student

I need phone for calls whatsapp telegram instagram pdfs downloading lectures and all

I need good camera to take photos of ppt from last seat in lec theatre and general good camera as well as good battery life .

(I have ipad a16 for lectures and pdf)

I would have to turn on hotspot on my pgone for maybe quite continue time which ig can heat the phone

Please advice

I was considering pixel 10a but now im confused as i heard abt heating issues in it

I had a poor heating incidence when the phone was switched off a while back, and the service center reinstalled One ui 9 Software by a hard reset. It's about the fourth day and I'm noticing some shadow drain, is this normal? because I didn't really get shadow drain much before. I calculated and added the overall app usage shown, there is ~5 percent of shadow drain (yes I've included overnight standby that my other app showed me).
