Features
Every detail, verified.
01Network and SIM
Works with any UK network, from EE and Vodafone to Three, O2 and giffgaff. Samsung lists 5G, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. Samsung lists a nano-SIM tray and eSIM support for a second number; SIM support can depend on the model supplied, so message us to confirm before you order if you need eSIM.
02Display
Samsung specifies a 6.7-inch QHD+ (3120 x 1440) Dynamic AMOLED 2X display running at 1–120Hz. Samsung's ProScaler image processing, which it supports on the S25 Plus, Edge and Ultra but not the standard S25, sharpens lower-resolution content on screen.
03Performance and storage
The Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy and 12GB of RAM are the same as the rest of the S25 range, per Samsung. Storage is 256GB or 512GB with no card slot; the 512GB model is the one to pick for 4K video.
04Cameras
Samsung lists a 50MP wide, 12MP ultra-wide and 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP selfie camera – the same hardware as the S25. Samsung also lists Galaxy Log for video colour grading and Virtual Aperture in Expert RAW.
05Battery and charging
Samsung rates the S25 Plus at 4,900mAh typical and up to 30 hours of video playback when new. With a 45W adapter (sold separately) Samsung quotes up to 65% in around 30 minutes. It also charges wirelessly. Minimum battery health at dispatch for each grade is in the key facts.
06Software updates
Samsung gives the S25 series seven generations of OS upgrades and seven years of security updates from the February 2025 global launch, which means support to 2032. It shipped with Android 15 and One UI 7, including Now Bar, Now Brief and Audio Eraser. Samsung says some Galaxy AI features need a Samsung Account or internet access and may vary by country; basic Samsung features are free after the original end-2025 offer.
Condition
Pre-owned. Tested. Honestly graded.
This S25 Plus is pre-owned: it has been used before and isn't sealed. Each phone is tested, cleaned, factory reset and removed from the previous owner's Google and Samsung accounts, so Factory Reset Protection is off. You choose a grade – Like New, Excellent or Very Good – which describes cosmetic marks. Like New means no visible marks on the screen or body; Excellent means light signs of use, hard to spot at arm's length; Very Good means visible marks on the body, with the screen in good shape. Every grade is fully working, tested and cleaned, with at least 85% battery health. More in how we test and grade. Refurbished by The Tech Gadgets, not by Samsung.

How it compares
vs Galaxy S25 (from £550): Samsung lists 6.2-inch FHD+, 4,000mAh and 25W. vs Galaxy S25 Edge (from £450): 5.8mm and 163g with a 200MP camera, but 3,900mAh and no telephoto. vs Galaxy S24 Plus (from £399): same screen size and battery, with the UK Exynos 2400 and support to 2031. See our Galaxy S25 series guide.
Our view
Is a refurbished Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus worth buying in 2026?
Yes, and at our current prices it undercuts the smaller S25: from £499 against £550. You get a QHD+ screen, 4,900mAh, 45W charging and updates to 2032. Trade-offs: it's 190g and lacks the Ultra's 5x zoom and S Pen.
Who it's for
It suits anyone who wants a big, sharp screen and all-day battery with years of support ahead, without paying Ultra prices. For a stylus and longer zoom, step up to the Galaxy S25 Ultra. For a lighter large-screen phone, compare the Galaxy S25 Edge.
