As usual, the Galaxy S25+ is the larger of Samsung’s two standard models, with a 6.7-inch display. By comparison, Google has shrunk things with its Pixel 9 Pro this year, moving down to a 6.3-inch display; you’ll have to opt for the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL if you want the full-sized model.

Android features unveiled at Samsung's Unpacked event narrow some of the gap between Samsung’s flavor of Android and Google’s.

Samsung’s Galaxy Chromebook Plus ($699) surprised me. With a similar aesthetic appeal to the M3 MacBook Air, the long battery life of the Dell XPS 13 and the snappy connectivity of a Galaxy phone, it encapsulates all the best traits of the devices I’m a fan of — and it does it well.
