Samsung S25 vs S24: The Key Differences in Performance & Display

If you're in Ireland and are looking to buy a new smartphone in 2025, you're likely comparing the new Samsung Galaxy S25 with its predecessor, the S24. Both the S25 and S24 are Samsung's top-of-the-range offerings, famous for their top-of-the-line hardware and high-end design. But is the S25 an upgrade worthy of the S24? This Fone4U.ie blog gives an overview of the key differences in performance and display so that you can establish which product best suits your needs.

 

Galaxy S25 vs S24

 

Feature Samsung Galaxy S25 Samsung Galaxy S24
Processor Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 / Exynos 2500 Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 / Exynos 2400
RAM 12GB 8GB
Storage Options 256GB / 512GB 128GB / 256GB
Operating System Android 15 (One UI 7) Android 14 (One UI 6.1)

 

Samsung has also significantly enhanced the S25's performance by moving it to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 (or Exynos 2500, depending on your region). Compared to the Gen 3 chip used in the S24, this means more fluid multitasking, faster app launching, and better AI integration. For heavy users with demanding applications like Adobe Lightroom or game apps like Genshin Impact, the S25 presents significantly more speed and stability.

 

Battery Life and Charging

 

Feature Galaxy S25 Galaxy S24
Battery Capacity 4900 mAh 4000 mAh
Charging Speed 45W wired, 25W wireless 25W wired, 15W wireless

 

The improved battery life of the S25 means it lasts longer during the day even when used heavily. Samsung has also progressed faster charging, enabling fast charging and away — a boon for Irish students and working professionals.

 

Display Comparison: Dynamic AMOLED at Its Best

 

Feature Galaxy S25 Galaxy S24
Display Size 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X 6.1-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X
Refresh Rate 1 Hz–120 Hz adaptive 48Hz–120Hz adaptive
Brightness Up to 2600 nits Up to 1800 nits
Resolution 1440 x 3200 pixels 1080 x 2340 pixels

 

S25 boasts an even bigger and brighter screen with enhanced adaptive refresh rates, making it ideal for video streaming, gaming, and outdoor work—particularly for Irish customers who deal with variable daylight levels. Visual quality is sharper, and HDR performance is exemplary when viewing content on sites such as YouTube or Netflix.

Bonus Insight: What About the Cameras?

 

Although this blog is visually and display-focused, the Galaxy S25 did receive some subtle upgrades to the camera. Although both handsets have excellent photographic capabilities, the S25 utilizes sophisticated AI to add quality to low-light images and in-real-time video processing — perfect for snapping picture-perfect scenes across Ireland.

5G & Connectivity Improvements

 

Both the S24 and S25 are 5G-enabled devices, with the S25 featuring a new modem that is more efficient in terms of network and that can support wider bands. Irish customers on networks like Vodafone, Three, and Eir will notice faster download speeds and lower latency from the S25.

Price in Ireland

 

As forecasted, the S25 has a premium launching price versus the S24. However, with newer models being released, the price of the Galaxy S24 continues to come down. You can get amazing deals on both at fone4u.ie, subject to your performance needs and budget.

 

Model Price Comparison in Ireland (2025)

 

Model Approx. Price in Ireland (2025)
Galaxy S25 (Refurbished) From €679.99
Galaxy S24 (Refurbished) Now from €599.99

 

If you're happy with your S24 and don't require bleeding-edge technology, it's still a great phone in 2025. But if you want more power, graphics, and futuristic features, the Galaxy S25 is absolutely worth the investment.
