Design and Size
Samsung keeps the compact flagship crown
Both devices use premium materials, though Apple is shaking things up. The iPhone 17 Pro is rumored to drop the titanium frame in favor of a new half-aluminum, half-glass build. The goal is to improve drop durability without sacrificing wireless charging. The Galaxy S25 sticks with an aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the back.

*Expected/rumored
In terms of color, Samsung offers muted tones like Mint, Icy Blue, Navy, and Silver Shadow. Apple is expected to go bolder, with a copper-orange hue and a special Liquid Glass-inspired iridescent option.
Neither phone comes with much in the box — you’ll find a USB-C cable, documentation, and little else.
Display Differences
The Galaxy S25 uses a 6.2-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel with 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 2,600 nits. Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro is expected to stick with its 6.3-inch ProMotion OLED display and may also offer 2,600 nits or more, depending on how far Apple pushes brightness this year.
One rumored advantage for the iPhone is durability — Apple was reportedly testing a more scratch-resistant, anti-reflective display. However, production delays may have scrapped that for 2025.

As for bezels and biometrics, the S25 relies on an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner and basic Face Unlock, while Apple continues with Face ID housed in the Dynamic Island, which may remain the same size.
Performance and Software
Snapdragon vs A19 Pro: the clash of a new generation
Apple will counter with its A19 Pro chip, built on the N3P process, likely offering efficiency gains and strong performance. Apple is also bumping RAM to 12 GB, finally catching up with Android rivals in memory.

Camera
Apple finally upgrades the telephoto camera
Here’s where the iPhone 17 Pro may take a big leap. It’s expected to be the first iPhone with three 48 MP rear cameras — wide, ultra-wide, and a new 48 MP telephoto. The telephoto is rumored to be 3.5x zoom (85mm equivalent), optimized for portraits, with the option to simulate higher zoom via digital cropping.
The Galaxy S25, meanwhile, reuses the same camera hardware from the S24: 50 MP main, 12 MP ultra-wide, and 10 MP 3x telephoto. Software tweaks have helped slightly, especially in color reproduction and HDR. Samsung did add Log video and Audio Eraser, and you still get Expert RAW support.
