Stellar Galaxy S25 sales help Samsung soar to its strongest quarter ever
But tariffs could upend that

If you ask smartphone reviewers, Samsung got off to something of a rocky start in 2025. I'm not just talking about Android Police's own reviewers, each of which (myself included) found their respective Galaxy S25 model to be something of a disappointment. I'm talking about the industry as a whole, which seemed to finally sour on Samsung's mission to stagnate any and all hardware improvements in favor of focusing on AI. In what is perhaps a somewhat telling announcement, though, Samsung just exited one of its best quarters ever, thanks to shockingly strong sales of the S25 series.
