Samsung Galaxy S25: Is It Worth the Price of a Small Canadian Car?

Hey, smartphone warriors! The new Galaxy S25 series just dropped, and so did the internet's hype! Join the debate over if those AI features are groundbreaking or just fancy wallpaper!

Samsung has officially launched its Galaxy S25 series, which includes the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra, and Canadians might want to buckle up for the prices—some models are topping out at over $2400! Powered by the supercharged Snapdragon 8 Elite, these devices promise to be performance powerhouses. As much as this sounds like an investment, the real question is: are they worth more than a small car?

However, at the recent Galaxy Unpacked event, excitement was palpable, but social media tells a different story. People have taken to the internet to express their less-than-impressed reactions following the launch. Historically, Samsung smartphones have garnered a mixed bag—fans love their multitasking capabilities, but some are left wondering if these new models will earn their keep against stiff competition or just gather dust next to last year’s models.

What’s all the fuss about? With the introduction of new AI features, Samsung is trying to up the ante. The Galaxy S25 is being marketed as a ‘true AI companion,’ boasting advanced features like a personal data engine designed to offer smart solutions for everyday tasks. It seems like Samsung is betting that these AI capabilities will be the game-changer that sets their new devices ahead of the pack, and dare we say, it could be the Cinderella Story of AI smartphones?

On another note, Samsung is offering trade-in promotions, allowing users to snag the new Galaxy S25 for a fraction of the price if they bring in an old phone. It feels like a win-win scenario—but then again, unless your phone is older than a vintage flip, how much is that really saving? Only time will tell if these handsets deserve their wallets and screams of delight or dismay from the Canadian tech community.
