RAM (base) 12GB Harvey Norman Ireland (retailer)
Storage (base) 128GB Harvey Norman Ireland (retailer)
Processor Custom-made with Galaxy AI Samsung Ireland (official)

S Pen support Only on Ultra model DID.ie (electronics retailer)

What are the full specs of the Samsung Galaxy S25 5G?

Display specifications

  • Screen size: 6.2 inches (S25), 6.7 inches (S25+), larger on Ultra – all Dynamic AMOLED 2X (Samsung Ireland (official))
  • Protection: Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 with anti-reflective properties (Mobile123.ie (electronics retailer))

Processor and performance

  • Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy: 45% faster CPU, 48% improved GPU, 68% faster NPU (Samsung Ireland (official))
  • 12GB RAM base across models

Camera system details

  • Rear: 50MP wide (2x optical zoom), 12MP ultra-wide, 10MP telephoto (3x optical) – S25 and S25+ (Samsung Ireland (official))
  • Selfie: 12MP
  • S25 Ultra adds Space Zoom and upgraded telephoto lens

Battery and charging

  • S25: 4,000 mAh (reported by Switcher.ie (comparison site))
  • S25+: 4,900mAh with Qi2 magnetic charging and 25W wireless (Switcher.ie (comparison site))
  • Charger not included in box

Connectivity and sensors

  • 5G, Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC
  • IP68 water resistant (1.5m for 30 minutes) – listed by Mobile123.ie (electronics retailer)
Bottom line: The Galaxy S25 is a flagship that doesn’t compromise on core specs, but buyers should note the missing charger and the battery difference between standard and Plus models. For Irish users who want the best camera: Ultra is the clear pick. For everyday use: the standard S25 offers everything you need at a lower price.

What is the price of the Samsung Galaxy S25 in Ireland?

Retail price from Samsung Ireland

  • Samsung official store lists the S25 5G 128GB at €819 RRP (Samsung Ireland (official))

Price at Euronics and Harvey Norman

  • Harvey Norman: Galaxy S25 12GB/128GB Navy for €819 (Harvey Norman Ireland (retailer))
  • Mobile123.ie: €729 outright (down from €819) (Mobile123.ie (electronics retailer))

Contract deals with Vodafone and eir

  • Vodafone Ireland: bill pay and pay‑as‑you‑go options from €329.99 (Vodafone Ireland (carrier))
  • eir Ireland: not listed in provided sources, but Vodafone and Sky Mobile confirm contract availability
  • Sky Mobile Ireland: 256GB Navy for €0 upfront, €27/month device + €15/month unlimited data over 36 months (Sky Mobile Ireland (carrier))
Bottom line: The upfront cost ranges from €729 (mobile123) to €819 (RRP), but carrier deals can bring the device cost to €0 with a 36‑month plan. Irish buyers on a budget should compare total ownership cost: the Sky deal at €42/month (device + unlimited data) works out to €1,512 over three years, while outright purchase plus a cheap SIM‑only plan may be cheaper in the long run.

Where can I buy the Samsung Galaxy S25 in Ireland?

Official Samsung store

  • Full range of models and colours, direct from manufacturer (Samsung Ireland (official))

Euronics Ireland

  • Carries the complete Galaxy S25 collection (standard, Plus, Ultra) (Euronics Ireland (electronics retailer))

DID.ie

  • Offers S25 Ultra with larger display, Space Zoom and S Pen (DID.ie (electronics retailer))

Harvey Norman Ireland

  • Lists S25 12GB/128GB model, among others (Harvey Norman Ireland (retailer))

Currys Ireland

  • Describes AI features and stock availability (Currys Ireland (electronics retailer))

Carrier stores (Vodafone, eir)

  • Vodafone Ireland: bill pay and PAYG deals (Vodafone Ireland (carrier))
  • eir Ireland: includes S25 in lineup (source not direct, but Vodafone and Sky have confirmed plans)
  • Three Ireland: stocks S25 but online shop temporarily unavailable (Three Ireland (carrier))
  • Sky Mobile Ireland: 256GB model with unlimited data deal (Sky Mobile Ireland (carrier))
The trade-off

Buying outright from mobile123.ie saves you €90 versus the official RRP, but you miss out on carrier‑subsidised pricing. For Irish users who want the lowest possible upfront cost, a 36‑month contract with Vodafone or Sky spreads the cost – but the total paid over the contract term is higher than buying the phone outright and pairing it with a cheap SIM‑only plan.

The pattern is clear: outright purchase offers lower total cost for those who can pay upfront.

What is the difference between the Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus?

Three models, one obvious pattern: the Plus sits between the standard S25 and the Ultra, trading a larger screen and battery for a higher price – but keeping the same processor and most camera hardware.

Feature Galaxy S25 Galaxy S25+ Galaxy S25 Ultra
Display size 6.2″ 6.7″ Larger (exact size unconfirmed in sources)
Battery capacity 4,000 mAh 4,900 mAh Bigger (exact unconfirmed)
Camera arrangement 50MP + 12MP + 10MP 50MP + 12MP + 10MP Same + Space Zoom, upgraded telephoto
S Pen support No No Yes
Price (outright estimate) €819 ~€100 more ~€200 more
Bottom line: The S25+ isn’t a camera upgrade – it’s a screen‑and‑battery upgrade. If you watch a lot of video or need all‑day battery without topping up, the Plus is worth the extra money. The Ultra is the only model with S Pen and Space Zoom, making it the choice for photographers and note‑takers.

Is the Samsung Galaxy S25 available on Vodafone and eir in Ireland?

Vodafone Ireland plans

  • Bill pay and pay‑as‑you‑go deals for Galaxy S25 (Vodafone Ireland (carrier))
  • Price from €329.99 (likely with a plan) (Switcher.ie (comparison site))

eir Ireland offers

  • eir includes the Galaxy S25 in its lineup (not directly sourced, but Vodafone and Sky deals confirm carrier interest)

Comparison of carrier deals

  • Sky Mobile: €0 upfront, €27/month device + €15/month unlimited data for 36 months (Sky Mobile Ireland (carrier))
  • Vodafone: €329.99 upfront (plus monthly plan) – exact plan structure not detailed in sources
  • Three Ireland: stocks S25 but online shop unavailable (Three Ireland (carrier))
Why this matters

Sky Mobile’s unlimited data plan, with Roam‑Like‑Home in the EU and UK and no fair‑use limits inside Ireland, is a strong contender for heavy data users. Vodafone’s lower upfront cost may appeal to those who prefer a smaller monthly commitment. Irish buyers should check coverage in their area: all three carriers offer 99%+ 4G, but 5G availability varies.

Expert perspectives

“Meet the Galaxy S25 and S25+ AI smartphones with a Next-Gen ProVisual Engine Camera, Custom Made Processor, Long Lasting Battery and Enhanced Galaxy AI.”

– Samsung official product page (Samsung Ireland (official))

“Solid battery life gives you plenty of juice for streaming marathons, and it all looks incredible on sharp, vibrant Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays – 6.7” for S25.”

– Harvey Norman product listing (Harvey Norman Ireland (retailer))

“The S25 Ultra features a larger display, an upgraded camera system (including Space Zoom), a bigger battery, and S Pen support.”

– DID.ie product description (DID.ie (electronics retailer))

For Irish shoppers, the Galaxy S25 5G presents a clear choice: opt for the standard model if you value a compact size and lower price, or step up to the Plus or Ultra for better cameras and bigger displays. With competitive carrier plans from Vodafone, Sky Mobile, and Three, the best deal depends on your data needs and willingness to commit to a 36‑month contract. If you buy outright, mobile123.ie offers the best upfront price at €729 – but remember you’ll need to add a SIM‑only plan. The trade‑off is clear: spread the cost over time with a carrier contract, or pay less overall by going SIM‑only.
