The Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25+ are some of the best Android phones yet, though current Galaxy owners may not find a ton of reasons to upgrade.

Of course, the biggest difference here relates to the size of these two phones. The Galaxy S25 Ultra is huge, measuring 162.8 x 77.6 x 8.2mm and weighing a hefty 218g. The Pixel 9 Pro is much more pocketable, measuring 152.8 x 72 x 8.5mm and weighing 199g.

This clever intelligence means the Galaxy S25 can now give users a customised daily briefing (called Now Brief), automatically retouch photos like a pro, and even chat back to owners like a real person via full integration with Google’s clever Gemini assistant.

In 2024, the S24 Ultra was the king of Android. OnePlus 13 may have just stolen that title from the S25. Let's find out for sure.

One major concern is just how well the Galaxy S25, with its relatively small 4,000mAh, can compete with other phones at a similar price point. There are some efficiency gains with a new chip, but it doesn’t quite alleviate the small battery woes.

In this 200 photo shootout between the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and OnePlus 13, I pit these two flagship phones to see how their cameras compare to one another in different scenarios.
