Premium positioning
With an 8-inch main screen and a more refined design, including a gold textured frame and a matte black back, the W25 clearly plays the premium card. 1.5 mm thinner than its international counterpart, it nevertheless packs all the power of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
It also has 16 GB of RAM and storage options of up to 1 TB. The photo system remains faithful to Samsung’s winning formula: a 200 MP main sensor, accompanied by a 12 MP ultra-wide-angle and a 10 MP telephoto lens.
On the pricing side, with a starting price equivalent to 2,200 euros, Samsung is clearly positioning the W25 in the premium segment, well above the international version sold for around 1,900 euros.
