It’s 7:11 a.m., I’m up, and I’m taking the Galaxy S25 through a real day in the life—gym, sauna, the drive, and then work—using the phone the way I actually use it. Most of what you’re seeing is shot straight on the S25 (no Sony A7 III), so you can get a real feel for the front-facing camera too. One thing I noticed right away: the selfie cam can look a little wonky/blurry if you don’t have enough light, but once you’re in good lighting it cleans up and looks way better at 4K 30. The big point of this video is battery life, and honestly… it got weird. Early on I’m at 90% after a little over an hour, then 82% after about 2.5 hours off the charger while running Apple Music, connected to my Galaxy Fit3 and Buds3 Pro, and recording video. But later, YouTube absolutely nuked my battery—so bad that I was down to about 2–3% around 4:32 p.m. The next day? Same general routine, YouTube running way longer, and I’m still sitting at 41%. That inconsistency feels like a bug, and it’s something Samsung (or YouTube/Play Services) needs to iron out. I also get into storage, because 128GB on a “flagship” in 2025 is just not it—256GB needs to be the minimum, especially if you’re shooting high-quality video and keeping up with bigger apps and constant updates.
