  • “I been a long time apple user and finally switched to s25 plus for 7 months now. [...] Zero slowdown or lag, and battery life has been good. [...] Camera can take great photos but the iphone 17 pro and pixel 10 pro will out class it. [...] And satisfied with camera.”

Common Galaxy S25+ problems

Issues at least two owners independently report.

  • Battery & charging6 mentions

    “s25+ user with the same silver model - I experienced the same usb c connection problems day one. The connection dropped like 5 times when transferring data from my old phone to the s25+ through the samsung cable. I thought it was my old phone's issue, but then while charging s25+, the connection would sometimes drop, especially when using other chargers than the original samsung one.”

  • Performance2 mentions

    “When i first got it it overheated terribly but with updates i believe they fixed it... i like it alot especially since it has the powersharing and wireless charging the onlu thing i absolutely HATE about it is the obvious.... [...] however its pretty damn durable i have dropped it MANY times no case no screen protector and know the screen should have cracked... but nothing serious only hairpin cracks INSIDE... the paint isnt very durable and the space underneath the cameras is about as bad as it gets but other than that the plus is pretty damn good like other galaxys!”
