Hidden Feature 1: The Samsung Galaxy S25 series has a powerful processor built for gaming

The Samsung Galaxy S25 features the Snapdragon® 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset, Samsung's most powerful processor to date. It has the raw power to play the most demanding games thanks to Vulkan optimization and features gaming specific features like ray tracing – that's the usually hardware intensive simulation of light in a game, which models how it reacts and reflects within an environment. Something the Galaxy S25 can handle with ease.

The Snapdragon® 8 Elite for Galaxy features the following improvements:

  • 45% CPU faster processing compared to the previous generation
  • 48% GPU improved graphics performance compared to the previous generation

Motion Optimiser: Eliminates noise, even in moving pictures
Contrast Enhancer: Increases the contrast

Hidden Feature 3: Samsung Galaxy S25 Game Booster learns as you play to optimise your gaming

Using Game Booster on Samsung Galaxy S25 phones will monitor temperature, as well as memory and battery usage while you play. Over time it measures and assesses how a game runs on your device, based on you and how you play. That means it can adjust settings automatically in the background to deliver a perfectly optimised experience, and the best performance for battery life and charging.

It can also help you focus on your game, letting you disable things like notifications, Bixby, the Edge panel, or any combination of notifications or features you choose, to avoid distractions.

Across the range of Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra you have a range of storage options to suit your needs. That maxes out at a potentially massive 1TB of storage to fit in all you favourites titles, with plenty of room to spare:

Combine that with an incredible audio experience and your mobile games will look, and sound, as good as it gets. And, even with those bigger screens, the slimmer Titanium or Armour Aluminium frames and thinner design of the Samsung Galaxy S25 guarantees comfort in-hand

Hidden Feature 6: Samsung Galaxy S25 can take the heat while gaming

Gaming can produce a lot of heat but the Samsung Galaxy S25 range features some impressive features to keep cool. An improved, larger Vapor Chamber and new thermal interface material dissipate heat and let you game for longer without overheating. So even with the advanced CPU and GPU power of the Snapdragon® 8 Elite for Galaxy processor letting you play high end games, the Galaxy S25 range can handle it.

One last thing. If you have somehow missed the buzz throughout the internet tech sphere, Samsung has recently launched their latest foldable wonder – the Galaxy Z Fold7.


With major upgrades, such as a stunning (2184 x 1968) 8” main display, a substantial 4400 mAh battery, and the Snapdragon® 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset, there’s a lot for mobile gamers to get excited about.
