I’m going to evaluate the Galaxy S25+ for what it is. While I’ll acknowledge the areas where Samsung fell short compared to the competition, I am aware that the Galaxy S25+ will be the best choice for many people walking into their carrier store looking to pay $30 a month for their phone.

We may bit a post-CES news lull some days, but the reviews are coming in hot and heavy as February begins. Samsung has already debuted its latest premium phones and we've published a few long-term reviews of devices we've been testing for months.
