The lifespan decider
When specs are close, support length decides it — this is what each phone costs per month of safe use.
Category by category
The Galaxy S25+'s screen is the better one — 6.7-inch dynamic amoled 2x, qhd+ (3120×1440), 1–120hz, up to 2600 nits.
The Galaxy S25+'s Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy is simply the faster chip.
The Galaxy S25+ has the stronger camera system — same lens count, higher-grade sensors.
Battery capacities are close enough not to decide this.
