Galaxy S25 — Screen Size, Resolution & PPI

What these specs mean

At phone viewing distance (around 15 cm / 6 inches), pixel density is the first thing you notice — above 300 PPI individual pixels disappear and text looks printed rather than pixelated. Refresh rate controls how smooth scrolling and games feel: 60 Hz is the long-standing baseline, 90–120 Hz noticeably cuts motion blur, and LTPO OLED panels can ramp from 1 Hz up to 120 Hz to save battery on static content. OLED's per-pixel contrast also makes blacks look genuinely black, which matters for dark-mode reading and overall battery behavior.

Samsung's flagship phones and tablets use Dynamic AMOLED 2X panels with adaptive refresh up to 120 Hz and peak brightness comfortably above 1,500 nits on Galaxy S and Tab Ultra devices. The same Samsung Display factory supplies OLEDs to other brands, so Galaxy hardware usually sees the newest panel generation first.
