Samsung is still working on its Samsung Galaxy S25 series, which is scheduled to launch in February next year. However, even before Samsung, Itel launched two new smartphones, namely the S25 and the S25 Ultra. Additionally, unlike Samsung, these smartphones are in an affordable price range. The new S25 series will succeed the S24 series. In terms of design, these smartphones resemble the Samsung Galaxy S24 smartphones but come with a unique ring flash.

Itel S25 Series Price and Availability

The Itel S25 series is currently launched in the Philippines. It is available for initial purchase at a price of PHP 5,799 (Rs 8,371 approx) for the variant with 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. On the other hand, the S25 Ultra model starts at PHP 10,999 (Rs 15,877 approx) for the same RAM configuration but offers an expanded storage capacity of 256 GB. The Itel S25 is currently open for pre-orders, with the S25 Ultra expected to be available from November 10.

In terms of design, the S25 comes in three distinct color options: Bromo Black, Mambo Mint, and Sahara Gleam. Conversely, the S25 Ultra offers a more diverse palette, including Meteor Titanium, Bromo Black and Komodo Ocean.

Itel S25 Series Specifications

The S25 features a flat AMOLED display, while the S25 Ultra beefs it up with a curved AMOLED featuring a sleek dual-tone color scheme. In terms of specs, the S25 keeps it simple, featuring a 6.78-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. While the exact chipset is still under wraps, rumors suggest it will be powered by the Unisoc T612.

Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the 50 MP main camera, complemented by a 32 MP selfie camera. For audio, it offers DTS Audio, promising an immersive listening experience, while the 5,000 mAh battery offers decent longevity. A downside, however, is the absence of fast charging on this model. On a positive note, it includes IP54 splash resistance, which is a nice plus.

The S25 Ultra has a slightly improved technical sheet. It retains the same display size and refresh rate, but features a curved AMOLED panel protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, which is a tougher version of Victus Glass. Under the hood, you’ll find the Unisoc T620 chipset, again paired with the same 50MP main and 32MP selfie cameras. An in-display fingerprint sensor adds a layer of security and, notably, the Ultra model improves the water and dust resistance rating to IP64, making it much more durable.
