Samsung’s Galaxy S smartphones continue to follow the trend of increasingly holding their value as they age. Research suggests that the Galaxy S25 will follow the same path with a predicted depreciation of 57% after 12 months.

The Galaxy S25+ and S23+ are tied for durability, at least on paper. Both feature Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2, Samsung’s Armor Aluminum frame, and IP68 dust and water resistance that lets them survive a dip in up to 1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus are almost identical but there are key differences under the hood that you must be aware of.
