ARRIVED!

And so, I visited the " Galaxy Experience Space" on the 1st floor of QFRONT (SHIBUYA TSUTAYA), facing Shibuya Scramble Crossing!
At this event, held for a limited time from Saturday, February 8, 2025, to Sunday, March 9, 2025, you can try out the latest models in the Galaxy S series, the "Samsung Galaxy S25 / S25 Ultra."

Here is the "Samsung Galaxy S25."
It is equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset, customized for Galaxy AI, and boasts performance improvements of 37% for CPU, 30% for GPU, and 40% for NPU compared to the previous model.

And here is the "Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra."
The display size has slightly increased to 6.9 inches compared to the previous model.
The resolution is 3,120×1,440 with a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz, specs that will please mobile gamers.

Here's how they look side-by-side.

The camera on the "Galaxy S25" has three lenses: ultra-wide (approx. 12 million pixels), wide (approx. 50 million pixels), and telephoto (approx. 10 million pixels).
The "Galaxy S25 Ultra" has four lenses: ultra-wide (approx. 50 million pixels), wide (approx. 200 million pixels), telephoto (approx. 50 million pixels), and telephoto (approx. 10 million pixels), allowing for up to 100x (30x for "Galaxy S25") digital zoom.

The "Galaxy S25 Ultra" incorporating an ultra-wide lens of approximately 50 million pixels means it now supports 8K video recording with an ultra-wide angle, which is a very significant change.

In fact, I'm a Galaxy fan! So I placed it next to my personal "Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G."
I apologize that the size of the "Galaxy S25 Ultra" seemed overshadowed, but it's amazing that its size is comparable to the Note series!

By the way, my battery life is starting to get questionable, so I'm seriously considering buying the "Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra."

These three images were actually taken with the "Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra."
Due to publication constraints, the resolution has been reduced, so I want to emphasize that the details are even clearer in person! What I want you to focus on is the zoom quality.
With this level of clear zoom, it's sure to be a hit at idol concerts and sports events.

Tour to Learn About the Galaxy S25 Series AI Features!

Saiga NAK

At "Galaxy Experience Space," tours are regularly held where you can learn about the general functions of Galaxy AI installed in the Galaxy S25 series.

Saiga NAK

The Galaxy S25 series is equipped with a reliable AI assistant.
Pressing and holding the power button activates Gemini, which responds to all kinds of user requests.

In this demo, it perfectly handled the request to "save the schedule for the next Kashima Antlers match to the calendar."
For us gamers, I fantasize about convenient uses like "add e-sports tournaments held in Tokyo this month to the calendar" or "summarize and save details of games scheduled for release this week to a memo."

It Can Summarize Videos Too

Check out this video.

Saiga NAK

When I asked it to summarize the video...

Saiga NAK

The video is an advertisement for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
It shows a person having a refreshing and energetic morning.
Afterwards, the caption "Now Brief" appears on the phone.
This suggests that this phone helps you stay organized and productive throughout the day.

(Translated from the Japanese text in the photo above)

It accurately transcribed the scenery and situations within the video into text!
Of course, it also supports translation, so you can enjoy overseas news and videos.

Is the era of watching videos over, replaced by the era of reading them...?

Make Briefings a Daily Routine

Saiga NAK

Galaxy AI also features a briefing function called "Now Brief."
In the morning, it displays information like last night's sleep duration and quality, the day's weather, and your schedule. If you have plans to go somewhere, it even provides the route and estimated travel time.
In the evening, it concludes with a summary of your daily activity and a review of photos taken.

A distinguishing feature of "Now Brief" is that if you use it continuously, it will suggest unique setups tailored to your preferences.
For example, a map might automatically appear when you start exercising, or music might play according to your driving...
The more you use the Galaxy S25 series, the more it transforms into a smartphone perfectly suited to your tastes.

Generate Images from Sketches and Prompts!

Given its quality and topicality, many people might associate AI with image generation.
You can do that with Galaxy AI too!

Saiga NAK

"Sketch Assist" generates images from S Pen sketches, other images, or prompts (text).
You can choose the style of image generation from:

• Watercolor
• Illustration
• Pop Art
• Sketch
• 3D Animation
• Oil Painting

...and more.

Saiga NAK

It even responded to my unreasonable request for a "gaming apple shimmering in rainbow colors."
It's super shiny.

Take Home Photos Taken On-Site!

Saiga NAK

In addition to its high-quality camera, the Galaxy S25 series boasts extensive filter functions powered by Galaxy AI!
It responds not only to pre-prepared presets but also to requests like "I want the colors to be like this image!"

Saiga NAK

If you participate in the "Galaxy Experience Space" tour, you can also experience using the Galaxy S25 series camera.
After taking photos at the photo spot, you can instantly apply filters and print the photos.
Be sure to get one as a souvenir!

Win Galaxy Devices by Participating in the Tour and Answering a Survey!?

Saiga NAK

If you participate in the "Galaxy Experience Space" tour or answer a survey, you can each draw a prize from a guaranteed-win lottery.
If you're lucky, you might win a "Galaxy Tab S9 FE" or "Galaxy Buds3 Pro"!?

"Galaxy Experience Space" is Open Until March 9!

Saiga NAK

There are still many more features to introduce, such as transcribing and summarizing audio data, offline translation, and "Audio Eraser" which analyzes ambient sound and adjusts volume for "voices," "music," "commotion," and other categories.
Do I have to buy this...?

The "Galaxy Experience Space," where you can experience the new AI smartphone Galaxy S25 series equipped with Galaxy AI, is being held until Sunday, March 9, 2025, on the 1st floor of QFRONT (SHIBUYA TSUTAYA) in Shibuya, Tokyo.
