The Samsung Galaxy S25 5G has just hit the shelves while the Apple iPhone 17 is still waiting in the wings - launch is expected during the Fall season. Since these two will be vying for the top premium smartphones' spot, we take a look at what may well be in store. As it is hard to decide between these top-of-the-line phones, we'll explain key differences.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Vs iPhone 17: Price And Availability
Since it has already been launched, you can buy the Samsung Galaxy S25 for Rs. 80,999. The iPhone 17 price on launch (expected) may well be Rs. 89,990. When availability, budget and savings matter, Samsung's current availability wins the race. This is especially so for those that drive the craze to buy the latest gadget as soon as it is launched.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Vs iPhone 17: Performance
These phones include 12GB of RAM, enabling effortless switching between apps. The Galaxy S25 includes an octa-core processor working at 4.47GHz whereas the iPhone 17 may contain an octa-core chip whose speed has yet to be disclosed.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Vs iPhone 17: Software
The Galaxy S25 comes with Android 15 while the iPhone 17 is anticipated to launch with a spanking new iOS 19 as its operating system, which may well be revealed during the summer at the WWDC. Your decision depends on whether you want to personalise your phone on Android or use iOS's easy-to-understand interface.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Vs iPhone 17: Battery And Power
Galaxy S25: 4000mAh battery
iPhone 17: 4190mAh battery (expected)
The iPhone's bigger battery might not deliver significantly more runtime than the Galaxy S25's battery. Battery performance depends heavily on the way the operating system manages power usage.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Vs iPhone 17: Storage
The Galaxy S25 package includes double storage at 256GB compared to the iPhone's 128GB standard. You will face fewer storage struggles with your Samsung device.
According to current data, the Galaxy S25 offers better storage and price plus quick delivery ahead of the iPhone 17 launch. However, when it comes to artificial intelligence, the current state that Apple finds itself in clearly puts Samsung in the driver's seat.
Samsung Galaxy S25 has a lead since the iPhone 17 launch details and specifications remain blurry. But, if you have a strong loyalty to Apple products and want the latest design, the iPhone 17 might prove a good choice despite the current Galaxy S25 benefits.
