The middle variant in the Samsung Galaxy S25 series is sandwiched between the compact S25 and the uber-powerful S25 Ultra. It rocks the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset under its hood and flaunts an elegant 6.7-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Priced at Rs 99,999, this smartphone is meant for users who want a big display and Galaxy AI features but can do without the extravagant cameras and stylus of the Ultra variant. If you own a Samsung Galaxy S25+, here are the top 10 apps that you should download on it first.
