Samsung Galaxy A25 review. Checking the camera, hardware, software, battery, design, screen and charging speed of the Galaxy A25 phone.
Samsung Galaxy A25 review, price and specifications
Just when it’s all about the Galaxy S24 series, we bring you our Galaxy A25 review. It’s true that it’s not the right time to introduce this phone, and Samsung has taken its time to review the S24, but in the meantime – we have another important device – the Galaxy A25. Important for Samsung and value-oriented users alike. Flagships are in the headlines, but mid-range phones also have a special value.
The Galaxy A25 is also a globally available device. It is currently sold in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe and India. So, it basically competes in the mid-range on all fronts. And Samsung has made sure it’s ready.
The new Galaxy A25 may be safe and hasn’t deviated too much from the established formula of the Galaxy A series, so the design has had few changes but there are plenty of updates.

There are some notable hardware upgrades over the A24. For example, it’s a 5G headset thanks to Samsung’s built-in Exynos 1280 chipset. This actually addresses one of the key criticisms against last year’s Galaxy A24, which only came in a 4G version. Considering that the lower-end Galaxy A14 had a 5G variant, it’s a strange choice indeed.
Samsung is also upping the refresh rate of the familiar 6.5-inch Super AMOLED panel to 120Hz, up from 90Hz on devices like the Galaxy A24 and Galaxy A15.
While the camera setup on the Galaxy A25 is largely unchanged, Samsung is introducing an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera as a replacement for the 5-megapixel camera, which should result in better-quality photos and videos. Speaking of video, thanks to the new chipset, the Galaxy A25 can shoot 4K@30fps on its main camera. There is also gyroscopic EIS support. Unlike its predecessor, the Galaxy A25 also offers a stereo speaker setup.
All these upgrades certainly bring the A25 closer than ever to the A3X series devices, especially the excellent Galaxy A34. You still don’t get an official IP rating with the Galaxy A25, though some of its design elements, like the larger display bezels, still hint at its more budget-friendly nature.
With all that said, we’re very interested to see how well the new Galaxy A25 stacks up against the competition at its very competitive price point, including some other Samsung devices like the Galaxy A34 we mentioned.
Unboxing
The Galaxy A25 comes in a simple sliding cardboard box. Nothing too fancy. The cardboard material is not too bulky, however, the phone does not sit directly underneath it and is well protected. There’s no plastic in the packaging, but you still get a nice cardboard stand for the phone itself, which works well enough.
The accessories package is just as basic. Samsung only provides a white USB Type-C to Type-C cable with the phone and nothing else. If it’s good enough for the S Series, we guess it’s good enough for the A Series. Although we can’t say, we especially like this fact.
Design
That being said, Samsung hasn’t made any major changes to the overall design of the phone. The middle bezel of this generation has a distinctive sculpted shape, which is the easiest way to distinguish the Galaxy A25 from, say, the Galaxy A24.
We find that the new frame is nicer to the touch and better in terms of feel and handling than the previous design. Although the difference is not much.
Other than that, you’ll still have the familiar vertical triple camera cluster on the back, with no discernible camera island or “area” on the back. The back panel itself is completely flat.
The same goes for the front, which is covered by a smooth piece of glass. The display bezels are still on the larger end, detracting from the affordable nature of the device. The rounded teardrop notch for the selfie camera is also something we tend to associate with Samsung’s lower-end offerings.
The Galaxy A25 is available in a total of four colors. There’s the eye-catching Personality Yellow variant that we have for review, but there are also lesser options: Black, Fantasy Blue, and Blue.
The back panel has a very subtle pattern. Something like very fine checkers. You can’t really feel the pattern because it’s not at a high level and is barely visible from a distance. It is very delicate.
Build Quality
The Galaxy A25 is mostly made of plastic. It includes the back panel and the middle frame. Both look great and feel great to the touch as well.
We have embraced plastic as a phone material in the past and will continue to do so. It doesn’t quite scratch or dent like metal and it doesn’t quite shatter like glass.
While the Galaxy A25 is definitely closer to the Galaxy A3X line than ever, a decent intrusion protection rating is still missing from the Galaxy A25.
There’s no visible gasket on the SIM tray, which you sometimes see on devices even without an official IP rating. We recommend not submerging the A25. Anyway, the SIM tray is a hybrid affair. It holds two nano SIM cards or one can be replaced with a microSD memory card.
Handling and Control
We found the Galaxy A25 to fit well in the palm. It is not particularly slippery and offers good grip. Neither the back nor the frame shows fingerprints. The 6.5-inch screen is relatively large but still manageable with one hand. Although this reviewer has rather large hands.
There is nothing special about the control set and layout of the Galaxy A25. Well, maybe apart from the fact that the fingerprint sensor is mounted on the side instead of on the screen. This is another small segment that Samsung is still saving for the Galaxy A3X line.
On the plus side, the side-mounted capacitive reader works very well – quite accurate and very solid.
Speaking of the Galaxy A3X series and specifically the A34, it lacks a 3.5mm audio jack. The Galaxy A25 still has one.
It is located right next to the Type-C port and the bottom speaker on the bottom of the device.
As for the speakers, the A25 has a stereo speaker setup.
6.5-inch display now with 120 Hz refresh rate
Samsung continues to make some of the best panels in the industry and tends to equip even its cheaper devices with decent models. The Galaxy A25 is a great example. It has a Super AMOLED screen, just like its predecessor, which is still 6.5 inches in diameter.
The resolution is 1080 x 2340 pixels with an aspect ratio of 19.5:9 with a pixel density of about 396 ppi. We found it quite obvious in person.
The display bezels are still on the larger end, detracting from the affordable nature of the device.
The 120Hz refresh rate is up from 90Hz on last year’s Galaxy A24 and is now more in line with the 120Hz found on the Galaxy A3X family, especially the A34.
Before we talk more about the refresh rate, we need to say a few words about the performance of the display. Samsung says the Galaxy A25 should have a maximum brightness of 1,000 nits on its display – essentially the same as last year’s A24. We measured 434 nits with the manual slider maxed out, and the phone hit 1,030 nits in auto-max mode, basically confirming the market’s claims. These numbers are more in line with last year’s Galaxy A24 numbers.
In terms of color, the display depth is 8 bits. Samsung offers two color profiles – Vivid and Natural with a color temperature slider and separate RGB channel settings in Live mode.
The Galaxy A25 lacks HDR support. The phone itself can decode HDR10 and HLG, but not Dolby Vision or HDR10+, but the display can’t display HDR content at all. On the plus side, the phone has the highest Widevine L1 DRM certification, which allows apps like Netflix to deliver FullHD streams and saturate the display’s resolution.
High rate control
The refresh rate of the Galaxy A25 is 120 Hz, which is 90 Hz higher than last year’s A24 model. This is a great addition in itself, but unfortunately, just like the Galaxy A34, there’s virtually no automatic refresh rate switching. There are two “motion smoothness” options in the settings – High and Standard. The first runs at a fixed frequency of 120 Hz and the second at a fixed frequency of 60 Hz.
There’s no logic to automatically switching from 120Hz to 90Hz or 60Hz, as you might find on many competitors. This means you’re constantly wasting at least some power in 120Hz mode. On the plus side, at least high refresh rate gaming works as expected, with titles that support rendering above 60fps more than enough for the Exynos 1280.
Battery Life
The Galaxy A25 packs a hefty 5,000 mAh battery – a capacity that most users today expect. This phone uses the mentioned battery sufficiently and manages an active use score of 10:19 hours. We would ideally like to see better results in browsing and gaming.
Charging
The Galaxy A25 supports Samsung’s 25W fast charging standard. It’s based on Power Delivery, but it’s still best to buy one of Samsung’s chargers to ensure you get the best possible charging speeds and PPS charging profiles. As we mentioned, there’s no charger in the box, so you’ll need to get your own.
We used Samsung’s 25W charger for our testing, and the A25 performed perfectly well. Pretty much what we’ve come to expect from a recent 5000mAh Samsung device with 25W charging.
In terms of actual numbers, we managed to get our A25 from 0% to 27% in 15 minutes and up to 49% in half an hour. It took 84 minutes to fully charge.
Speakers
The Galaxy A25 has a hybrid stereo speaker setup. This is a new feature this year. A24 mono speaker upgrade and more in line with A34 settings. A dedicated speaker is located at the bottom of the phone and an amplified speaker controls the other channel. Naturally, this means that the balance between the two is not perfect. The bottom speaker is definitely louder and clearer. However, the stereo effect that the two produce together is very convincing and pleasing for multimedia consumption.
In terms of loudness, our Galaxy A25 unit managed -26 LUFS, which barely qualifies for our “Very Good” grade. This is a significant improvement over the Galaxy A24’s average score, and fully in line with the Galaxy A34’s performance.
The actual sound quality is also very good and very similar to the Galaxy A34. There’s nothing noticeable even at high volumes, and the soundstage is fairly rich. The mids could be a little better, but the highs are great, and there’s even some bass. It has Dolby Atmos, a full-featured equalizer, and UHQ upscaling.
Connectivity
As mentioned earlier, the Galaxy A25 is a 5G device. It offers 5G dual standby mode in both nano SIM card slots. The second gap is a hybrid affair. It can use a nano SIM card or a microSD card for expandable storage. We have information that there is also a single-SIM variant of the Galaxy A25, but almost every store listing we’ve seen is for the dual-SIM.
For local connectivity, the A25 has dual-band Wi-Fi 6/ac and Bluetooth 5.3. Some regions have NFC, while FM radio doesn’t seem to be available anywhere. However, it’s still worth checking with your local retailer.
There’s no IR blaster on board, but as we mentioned earlier there is a 3.5mm audio jack.
You support GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BDS, and QZSS for positioning. The onboard Type-C port has USB Host/OTG capability, but nothing else interesting in terms of features like video output. The Type-C port is backed up by a USB 2.0 connection, which means a theoretical maximum data transfer speed of 480Mbps.
The Galaxy A25 has a decent array of sensors but unfortunately lacks a proper hardware proximity sensor. You get a virtual proximity sensor which is mostly responsible for turning off the screen during incoming calls. Although not ideal. Other than that, you get an ICM42632M accelerometer and gyroscope combo, an STK31610 light sensor, and an AK09918C magnetometer. There is no barometer.
One UI 6 on top of Android 14
The Galaxy A25 runs on Samsung’s current One UI 6 on top of the latest Android 14. It’s One UI instead of the core version found on some low-end Galaxy devices. This means fewer features are removed.
The Galaxy A25 is eligible for four years or four major OS and One UI updates and a total of five years of security patches over its life cycle.
You get the same general UX and even more features of the Galaxy S series, which is great to see on a mid-range device. The good news for all Galaxy users is that the list of software features reserved for flagships has dwindled in recent years and now includes niche items like Samsung DeX.
Despite the big leap in version, OneUI 6.0 remains visually and functionally very familiar without many obvious changes. Visual features include more freedom to move the clock widget on the lock screen, a new button layout in the quick panel, and an improved notification layout in the notification shade.
The home screen has simplified icon labels, and you can now drag and drop icons from one screen to another by holding the icon with one hand and swiping between screens with the other. There’s a new Weather insights widget and a custom camera widget that can launch the camera directly in the selected camera mode.
There are also some small behavioral changes with settings. For example, Airplane Mode has gotten smarter and now remembers the last time you turned on Bluetooth or Wi-Fi alongside Airplane Mode and automatically restores that mode. Battery settings now get their own top-level menu for easier access. The Digital Wellbeing menu has been redesigned to be more readable.
Samsung’s new Auto Blocker is a one-stop shop for all your privacy and security needs. You get automatic checks for things like malware and suggestions, and some neat optional features like preventing the installation of unknown apps, preventing malicious ADB commands from running on the phone, and scanning images for malicious content.
As for Samsung apps, you get a handful of the company’s in-house developed solutions, such as Samsung Messages, Phone, Contacts, Gallery, Notes, Health, Files, Internet, and Store, often associated with Google’s “duplicate” apps.
There aren’t many preloaded apps that we’d consider outright bloatware, but our Galaxy A25 unit came with TikTok, Spotify, Netflix, Facebook, Temu, Happy Color, and WoW. Fortunately, something you can’t quickly remove and get rid of.
We didn’t notice any ads in One UI 6 on the Galaxy A25, as is usually the case.
Performance
Galaxy A25 is based on Samsung’s Exynos 1280 chipset. It’s a fairly modern piece from 2022, made with the 5nm LPE (EUV) manufacturing process. We have already seen the proper performance of this chipset in devices such as Galaxy A53 5G and Galaxy A33 5G. It has an octa-core CPU configuration with two ARM Cortex-A78 cores clocked at up to 2.4GHz and another six Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.0GHz. The internal GPU is a Mali-G68 unit.
The Exynos 1280 is paired with 6 or 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128 or 256 GB of internal storage. The test unit that we ran the benchmarks on is a 128GB/6GB base unit.
Let’s start with GeekBench and some CPU tests. First of all, it’s encouraging to see that Samsung seems to have squeezed more performance out of the Exynos 1280, as it clearly performs better inside the Galaxy A25 compared to the Galaxy A53 5G. This could be related to many things, including faster memory or memory and OS improvements. However, this is a welcome finding.
In the grand scheme of things, the Exynos 1280 seems to outperform the Snapdragon 695 and Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 in both single and multi-core CPU tasks. The Dimensity 6080 as well as the Dimensity 7050 mostly hit back and forth with it. Anything from MediaTek’s 80xx line is superior, and so is the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 in the Poco X6.
The Dimensity 1080 seems to be slightly better in overall performance – a fact supported by AnTuTu and its much more complex set of tests that also take into account things like storage and memory speed. The Galaxy A34 is slightly ahead of the A25, and the A54 is still ahead.
However, none are anywhere near the top in this price range in terms of overall performance. That honor seems to go to the Motorola Edge 40 and the Infinix GT 10 Pro, beating the MediaTek 8020 and 8050, respectively. However, the Galaxy A25 certainly holds its own, offering a slightly lower AnTuTu score than its predecessor, the A24.
3Dmark shows pretty much the same picture as AnTuTu, with Motorola Edge 40 and Infinix GT 10 Pro topping the charts. When it comes to GPU performance, the Mali-G68 in the Galaxy A25 seems to be roughly on par with the Dimensity 1080 and Dimensity 7050, as these chips all have the same graphics settings. And said setup is a head start on the Mali-G57 MC2, as found in the Helio G99, Dimensity 6080, and Dimensity 700, as well as Adreno 619 on Qualcomm’s part.
On a more practical note, we found the Galaxy A25 to run without any noticeable issues or slowdowns. It has plenty of power for daily tasks as well as some casual gaming.
The Galaxy A25 never overheats to the touch even after intense stress testing. The passive cooling solution found in the Exynos 1280 also seems to manage the heat output well.
Introducing the familiar triple camera now with ultra-higher resolution
The Galaxy A25 mainly carries forward the camera setup of its Galaxy A24 predecessor.
It includes a 50-megapixel primary camera with OIS, a 2-megapixel macro camera on the back, and a 13-megapixel selfie camera with fixed focus. One upgrade here is the move to an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera on the back, up from the 5-megapixel unit on the Galaxy A24.
Overall, we can say that Samsung hasn’t changed the camera that much. One new addition to the mix is gyro-EIS – a nice feature to have and previously unavailable on the Galaxy A24.
The camera app is what you find on every Samsung phone these days. You only get Pro mode on the main camera, while Night mode can be used on the main, ultra-wide, and selfie cameras.
Camera quality in daylight
The main camera saves 12.5MP photos by default. We’ve already seen this particular camera perform very well on other devices like last year’s Galaxy A24.
The resolved detail is good, the noise reduction did a great job, the contrast is excellent, and the dynamic range is wide. In typical Samsung fashion, the colors have a little extra ‘pop’ to them. Overall, though, photos don’t look over-processed or over-sharpened, which is great.
Unfortunately, if you look closely, the photos look quite soft.

Even in the absence of a dedicated depth sensor, the main camera takes perfectly decent portrait photos. Subjects with pleasant skin tones look detailed. The subject detection and separation is quite accurate and the background blur quality is excellent.

The Galaxy A25 lacks a dedicated telephoto camera, but it can still take 2x zoom photos with its main camera. These are very comparable in quality to 1x photos, meaning they look good if you don’t zoom too close.

The new 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera is a slight upgrade over last year’s 5-megapixel unit. Contrast and dynamic range are all right. We welcome camera color interpretation. It’s not natural, but it matches the slightly saturated look of the main camera.
Blended details are over-sharpened. The quality of the photos reminds us of what good-grade CCTV cameras produce, meaning they capture the scene, but the quality isn’t great by phone camera standards.

The 2MP macro camera’s focus is fixed at 4cm, and it may take a few tries to get it right. Once you’ve done that, you can save some usable close-ups that you can post on your Instagram. The colors and dynamic range are good, but the resolved detail is fairly unremarkable.
Samsung Galaxy A25: 2MP macro camera samples
The 13MP selfies we took on the Galaxy A25 are excellent – there’s plenty of resolved detail and a balanced overall display, accurate colors, and wide dynamic range. We’ve seen worse selfies from more expensive phones, so kudos to Samsung for building a decent selfie camera into such an affordable device.

Camera quality in low light
The Galaxy A25’s main camera takes decent, but largely unremarkable photos in low light. While there is little detail, most surfaces look smooth and a bit noisy. Both shadows and highlights are well developed, and light sources are well present, though still not quite. Dynamic range and contrast are good. The colors are a bit cold but overall good.

The Galaxy A25 does some automatic night mode on its own, but there’s also a manual night mode that takes longer exposure times and stacks more images. The resulting images are slightly clearer, with less noise and cleaner surfaces. Light sources are also significantly better managed.

2x zoom photos from the main camera are expected to look noisier and softer than 1x photos. They are still very usable though.

Night mode doesn’t seem to do much for these photos. The exposure is higher, which can lead to some clipped highlights and doesn’t help the shadows much, and that’s it.

Considering its poor performance in daylight, we didn’t expect much from the new ultra-wide 8MP in low light. Low-light photos are quite soft and noisy and don’t have a lot of detail. However, the dynamic range is quite decent for this type of camera.
Samsung Galaxy A25: 8MP ultra-wide camera samples in low light
Night mode boosts the exposure a bit and brightens things up, but doesn’t really help develop darker areas or better light sources. The amount of detail captured remains pretty much the same, with a little extra sharpening applied to what’s already there. This creates a cleaner overall look but is quite artificial.

The selfie camera cannot be affected in low light conditions either. Faces look soft and muddy most of the time, even if you nail a fixed focal plane. On a more positive note, at least the skin tone looks believable most of the time.

Video Quality
One of the upgrades offered by the Exynos 1280 chipset over the Mediatek Helio G99 in last year’s Galaxy A24 is the ability to record 4K@30fps video. The Galaxy A25 can do this on its main camera and only in 1x mode. The 2x zoom mode of the main camera, the ultrawide camera, and the selfie camera are all limited to 1080p.
By default, video is stored in the h.264/AVC stream at approximately 49 Mbps in 4K and 17 Mbps in FullHD. The audio is also standard AAC 48kHz stereo, and both fit together inside a standard MP4 container. There is also an option to save some space and capture in h.265/HEVC instead.
4K video from the main camera looks very detailed, with virtually no noise, good contrast, and great dynamic range. Colors, just like still photos, are a little on the saturated side, but not overly so. The contrast is also tweaked a bit to give it that extra “poppy” look.
That said, the video is limited to 1080p at 2x zoom and looks pretty unremarkable by comparison. Not bad, but the level of detail is definitely lacking. The same can be said about the ultra-wide camera and its 1080p videos in general. While definitely usable, they are soft, especially around the edges of the frame. We like that the colors are reasonably consistent with the original camera.
Bucking the trend, 1080p videos from the selfie camera look great. There is excellent skin texture detail. Skin tones also look great. The contrast is pleasant, as well as slightly saturated colors. Overall, a great show.
Another new addition to the Galaxy A25 mix is gyroscope-based electronic image stabilization (EIS). Available in two flavors or levels. One of them is primary stabilization, which can be changed through the camera’s settings menu. It drops the resolution to 1080p, but it can work on all cameras (except the 2MP macro) and does a pretty decent job of smoothing out small shakes and bumps. Then there’s Super Steady, which only works in 1080p and on the ultra-wide camera. This is intended for sports and other action shots and offers better overall stabilization at the cost of cropping more of the frame.
Low-light footage from the main camera is surprisingly clean and accurate. The details are there and the colors look nice too. Dynamic range could be better, however, with blown-out light sources and often crushed shadows. Shooting at 2x zoom from the main camera is worse with less detail as the 1080p resolution is also softer and a bit noisy. 1080p video from Ultrawide is very disappointing. It is dark, muddy, and noisy.
Check Competitors
At the time of writing, the base 6GB/128GB Galaxy A25 will set you back around $250 / €285 / £250 / INR 27,000, and the top-end 8GB / 256GB is $399 / €330 / INR 30,000 It will come back to you. It’s a competitive price bracket with plenty of viable options.
While we’re still not sure what Samsung has in store for the Galaxy A35, last year’s Galaxy A34 has been pretty well discounted. You can get a 6GB/128GB base unit for around $250 / €250 / £190 / INR 25,500. Of course, since the A34 is technically “last generation” and came with Android 13 and One UI 5.1, there’s a shorter support window left after four years of major updates and five years of Samsung’s promising security patches.
In terms of upgrades over the A25, the A34 has decent IP67 protection, 4K video recording on the selfie camera, and a slightly more powerful Dimensity 1080 chipset. Other specifications are a kind of washing of two devices. You even forego the 3.5mm audio jack that the A25 has. However, the A34 might suit you better.
Samsung Galaxy A34 • Xiaomi Poco X6 • Xiaomi Poco M6 Pro
We have many models of the latest Xiaomi products. There is the ever-popular Redmi Note series specifically the vanilla Redmi Note 13. It is currently priced slightly lower than the Galaxy A25 and offers quite comparable specs. Its Dimensity 6080 is a bit more powerful, but you’ll have to make do with 1080p video, despite the phone’s 108-megapixel primary camera having enough resolution.
Enter the Xiaomi Poco X6. It seems to be the most reasonable alternative to the Galaxy A25. Of course, it seems to cost a little more, but you get a better, brighter, and HDR 12-bit AMOLED display, a more powerful Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset, IP54 ingress protection, and Gorilla Glass Victus, 256GB base memory, and 8GB. RAM and 67W faster charging with the onboard 5100 mAh battery, just to name a few. According to our tests, if you have just a little more to spend, you can go for the Poco X6 Pro with faster UFS 4.0 storage and better overall battery life.
If you’re looking to save money instead, there’s the Poco M6 Pro 4G, which is sort of the same as the Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G, only slightly cheaper. Next to the Galaxy A25, it has a very comparable display and a slightly more powerful chipset. You’ll have to live with 1080p video recording, but you won’t forgo other features like a stereo speaker setup, 3.5mm audio jack, NFC, or FM radio. As a bonus, the Poco M6 Pro also offers 67W fast charging and official IP54 protection.
Summary
Last year, Samsung made a rather confusing choice by introducing the Galaxy A24 only in the 4G/LTE version. All along, the A34 was 5G and even the A15 had a 5G variant. That’s no longer the case with the new Galaxy A25, and it’s not the only sensible upgrade to the formula.
The move from 90Hz to 120Hz refresh rate may be relatively small, but it’s meaningful and helps the phone feel smoother and more responsive overall. You can probably get longer battery life by disabling the high refresh rate, so the choice is up to you.
The leap from MediaTek’s Helio G99 to the Exynos 1280 may not be huge in terms of raw performance either, but beyond the aforementioned 5G connectivity, it also brings 4K video recording to the Galaxy A25, another small but significant upgrade.
The new stereo speaker setup is also a big deal in our books. The speaker may not shine at all compared to the competition, but it’s still miles better than the single speaker offered on the Galaxy A24.
All these small updates add up and probably bring the Galaxy A25 closer to Galaxy A3X territory in terms of features than ever before. Upgrades aside, the Galaxy A25 still has a solid build, now with a slightly tweaked design, which we found offered a more comfortable grip. Both battery life and performance are reliable, and the same can be said for the camera settings. Well, at least in daylight. Low-light photography is a little disappointing, though it’s still not that bad.
We would have liked to see a decent intrusion protection rating like the Galaxy A25’s larger counterparts, but maybe next year. We don’t really see anything major to complain about in the Galaxy A25. It’s a solid Samsung device with everything you need for a decent price, and we’re sure it’ll be a hit.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to start Windows 11 without the Internet and without the need to enter an email.
How to install Windows 11 without a Microsoft account?
Based on Microsoft’s decision and unlike how to install Windows 10, users must enter their Microsoft email or any other account to connect their Windows user account with that person’s email for the initial setup of Windows 11; Otherwise, users will not be able to complete the Windows 11 installation process.
This means that the user must be connected to the Internet to start Windows 11, and it is not possible to create a local account. This incident resulted in the protest of many users; Because in many cases, due to the lack of necessary drivers, users could not connect to the Internet in the Windows setup interface or Out of box experience, or they did not want to enter their email at all.
However, it is not impossible to install Windows 11 without the internet. According to its usual habit, Microsoft is not strict in the field of many of its decisions and policies, and like its own solution to avoid the lack of a TPM 1.2 chip for installing Windows 11 or existing solutions for installing Windows 11 on incompatible systems, with a few simple moves, you can force the connection to the Internet and Bypasses email log in at Windows startup.
If you are one of those people who are stuck on the Internet connection or email login screen when starting Windows, with the help of this tutorial, you can easily solve your problem and complete the steps to install Windows 11 without a Microsoft account.
Windows 11 setup without internet
There are 4 ways to boot Windows 11 without the internet that still work and are very easy to do.
Bypassing the Internet connection with Bypass code
If the Windows 11 setup steps are stuck on the Let’s connect you to a network screen due to the lack of Internet connection, the Next button will be grayed out until a stable connection is established, and you will not be able to proceed to the next steps.
Not only in this situation but also if you need to enter the username and password through the portal to enter the network, you cannot do anything and you have to bypass this step. In this situation, follow the steps below:
In the mentioned screen, press the Shift+F10 keys to open the command prompt window.
Enter OOBE\BYPASSNRO and press enter.
Next, your device will restart. Go through the setup process again until you reach the Let’s connect you to a Network page. Now, on this page, you will see that the I don’t have internet option has been added next to the Next option. Click on it.
On the next page, click Continue with limited setup.
After that, the page for creating a local account will be in front of you, and by entering the desired name and the password on the next page, the local account will be created and the Windows 11 setup process will be completed. If you leave the password box blank, the account will be created without a password.
End the connection process with the Task Manager
On the same Let’s connect you to a network page, you can delete the running process that forces you to connect to the Internet and enter the Microsoft account by running the task manager.
Open the command line window by pressing the Shift + F10 buttons and type taskmgr and press enter to open the task manager.
You can also open the task manager window by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc.
After opening the task manager, look for Network Connection Flow in the Processes section. You can also use the search section to find it.
Then select Network Connection Flow and click on the End task option. After that, close the task manager window and type the word exit to exit the command line window and press enter.
Now you will be faced with loading animations and you will go directly to the local account creation section. Enter your desired name and continue the Windows setup process.
Remove the Internet connection with the command line
If you are unable to kill the internet connection process through the task manager, you can do it through the command line.
On the Let’s Connect you to a network page, press Shift + F10 to open the command line.
In the window that opens, enter the following code and press enter.
taskkill /F /IM oobenetworkconnectionflow.exe
After the command is executed, close the command line window and continue the Windows 11 setup process.
Skip the Internet connection page with Alt + F4 buttons
Such a method may not work for all users, but if you cannot bypass the forced Internet connection and enter the Microsoft account with any of the above methods, on the Let’s Connect you to a network page, press the Alt + F4 combination buttons to force the Internet connection window.
If nothing happens after pressing the mentioned buttons once, try pressing the buttons several times in a row. Alt + F4 keys in the Windows environment can also be used to close running programs or open the shutdown menu.
The above methods work in all versions of Windows 11. If you encounter any problem in performing any of the steps, share with us in the comments section.
OpenAI claims that its free GPT-4o model can talk, laugh, sing, and see like a human.The company is also releasing a desktop version of ChatGPT’s large language model.
Unveiling of OpenAI new artificial intelligence capabilities
Yesterday, OpenAI introduced the GPT-4o artificial intelligence model, which is a completely new model of the company’s artificial intelligence, which according to OpenAI is a step closer to a much more natural human-computer interaction.
This new model accepts any combination of text, audio, and image as input and can produce output in all three formats.It can also detect emotions, allow the user to interrupt it mid-speech, and respond almost as quickly as a human during a conversation.
In the live broadcast of the introduction of this new model, Meera Moratti, Chief Technology Officer of OpenAI, said: “The special thing about GPT-4o is that GPT-4 level intelligence has been made available to everyone, including our free users.This is the first time we’ve taken a big step forward in ease of use.
During the unveiling of the model, OpenAI demonstrated the GPT-4o, which translates live between English and Italian, with its intuitive ability to help a researcher solve a linear equation on paper in an instant, just by listening toThe breaths of an OpenAI executive give him advice on deep breathing.
The letter “o” in the name of the GPT-4o model stands for the word “Omni”, which is a reference to the multifaceted capabilities of this model.
OpenAI said that GPT-4o is trained with text, images, and audio, meaning all input and output is processed by a neural network.This differs from the company’s previous models, including the GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, which allowed users to ask questions just by speaking, but then converted the speech to text.This would cause tone and emotion to be lost and interactions to slow down.
OpenAI will make this new model available for free to everyone, including ChatGPT users, over the next few weeks, and will also initially release a desktop version of ChatGPT for Apple computers (Mac) for users who have purchased a subscription, starting today.They will have access to it. The introduction of the new OpenAI model took place one day before the Google I/O event, which is the company’s annual developer conference.
It should be noted that shortly after OpenAI introduced GPT-4o, Google also presented a version of its artificial intelligence known as Gemini with similar capabilities.
While the GPT-4 model excelled at tasks related to image and text analysis, the GPT-4o model integrates speech processing and expands its range of capabilities.
Natural human-computer interaction
According to OpenAI, the GPT-4o model is a step towards a much more natural human-computer interaction that accepts any combination of text, audio, and image as input and produces any combination of text, audio and image.
This model can respond to voice inputs in less than 232 milliseconds, with an average speed of 320 milliseconds, which is similar to the response time of humans in a conversation.
This model matches the performance of the GPT-4 Turbo model on English text and code with a significant improvement in converting text to non-English languages while being much faster and 50% cheaper via application programming interface (API).The GPT-4o model is especially better in visual and audio understanding compared to existing models.
What exactly does the introduction of this model mean for users?
The GPT-4o model significantly enhances the experience of ChatGPT, OpenAI’s wildly popular AI chatbot.Users can now interact with ChatGPT like a personal assistant, ask it questions and even hang it up wherever they want.
Additionally, as mentioned, OpenAI is introducing a desktop version of ChatGPT along with a revamped user interface.
“We recognize the increasing complexity of these models, but our goal is to make the interaction experience more intuitive and seamless,” Moratti emphasized.We want users to focus on working with GPT instead of being distracted by the UI.Our new model can reason text, audio, and video in real-time.This model is versatile, fun to work with, and a step toward a much more natural form of human-computer interaction, and even human-computer-computer interaction.
The GPT-4o model has also been extensively reviewed by more than 70 experts in areas such as social psychology, bias and fairness, and misinformation to identify risks introduced or enhanced by the newly added methods.OpenAI has used these learnings to develop safety interventions to improve the safety of interacting with GPT-4o.The members of the OpenAI team demonstrated their audio skills during the public presentation of this new model.A researcher named Mark Chen emphasized its ability to gauge emotions and noted its adaptability to user interruptions.
Chen demonstrated the model’s versatility by requesting a bedtime story in a variety of tones, from dramatic to robotic, and even had it read to him.As mentioned, this new model is available for free to all ChatGPT users.Until now, GPT-4 class models were only available to people who paid a monthly subscription.
“This is important to us because we want to make great AI tools available to everyone,” said OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
Strong market for generative artificial intelligence
OpenAI is leading the way in productive AI alongside Microsoft and Google, as companies across sectors rush to integrate AI-powered chatbots into their services to stay competitive.
For example, Anthropic, a competitor of OpenAI, recently unveiled its first corporate proposal to Apple to provide a free program for iPhones.
“We recognize that GPT-4o audio presentations present new risks,” OpenAI said in a statement.Today we’re publicly releasing text and image inputs and text outputs, and in the coming weeks and months, we’ll be working on the technical infrastructure, post-training usability, and security necessary to release other methods.For example, at startup, audio outputs are limited to a set of predefined sounds and adhere to our existing security policies.We will share more details about the full range of GPT-4o methods in a future system.
According to the report, the generative AI market saw a staggering $29.1 billion in investment across nearly 700 deals in 2023, up more than 260 percent from the previous year.Predictions indicate that the yield of this market will exceed one trillion dollars in the next decade.However, there are concerns about the rapid deployment of untested services by academics and ethicists who are troubled by the technology’s potential to perpetuate prejudice.
Since launching in November 2022, ChatGPT’s chatbot has broken records as the fastest-growing user base in history, with nearly 100 million weekly active users.OpenAI reports that more than 92% of the world’s top 500 companies use it.
At the presentation event last night, Moratti answered some questions from the audience and when he spoke in fluent Italian and the artificial intelligence translated his words into English, the hall was filled with excitement.
There is more.This means the next time you take a selfie, OpenAI’s artificial intelligence can assess your exact emotions.All you have to do is select a selfie and ask ChatGPT to tell you how you feel.
It should be said that OpenAI employees were so happy that ChatGPT asked them why they were so happy!
The S95B TV is Samsung’s serious attempt to enter the OLED TV market after a decade of hiatus; But can it take back the OLED throne from LG?
Samsung S95B OLED TV review
What can be placed in a container with a depth of 4 mm? For example, 40 sheets of paper or 5 bank cards; But to think that Samsung has successfully packed a large 4K OLED panel into a depth of less than 4mm that can produce more than 2000 nits of brightness is amazing. Join me as I review the Samsung S95B TV.
Samsung has a very active presence in the smartphone OLED display market, and by the way, it also has some of the best and most stunning small OLED panels in its repertoire; But surprisingly, it has been a little more than a year since he seriously entered the OLED TV market; Of course, Samsung launched its first OLED TV in 2013 and quickly withdrew from the large-size OLED market and left the field to its traditional and long-standing rival, LG.
In the years after withdrawing from the OLED TV market, Samsung focused on the evolution of LCD TVs with technologies such as Quantum Dot and MiniLED; But after almost 10 years, Samsung decided to once again try its luck in the world of OLEDs, and thus, in 2022, it launched the S95B TV in two 55-inch and 65-inch models.
In 2023, Samsung introduced the S95C TV as a successor to the S95B and unveiled the S95D model at CES 2024; While Samsung’s 2024 TV has just been launched in international markets a few months after its launch, it is still hard to find its 2023 model in the Iranian market. Accordingly, we have prepared the 65-inch S95B model from 2022 for review. It is more numerous than the 2023 model in the market of the country.
Slim design… super slim
What draws attention to Samsung TV at first sight is not its eye-catching image and ear-pleasing sound, but its infinite slimness. The S95B was so slim that when I unboxed and installed it, I experienced the same level of anxiety I had on exam night! Samsung OLED TV is only 3.89 mm thick; For this reason, despite all the company’s efforts in strengthening the body, it still simply shakes and sways.
Samsung calls the ultra-slim design of its TV LaserSlim; Because the laser beam is narrow and sharp; So you should be very careful when installing the TV. I wish we knew what is the logic behind the childish efforts of companies to make the world’s thinnest TV. To some extent, the narrowness of the TV helps to make it more modern and better installed on the wall; But the strength of the TV should not be sacrificed to make it thinner.
Samsung designers have not spared even the edges of the TV! The width of the edges around the panel does not exceed 8 mm. The narrowness of the edges helps the user to immerse well in the depth of black and the extraordinary contrast of the OLED TV panel and enjoy the content to the fullest.
The S95B TV has a high-quality and well-made body, the frame of the device is metal, and like most OLED TVs in the market, there is a wide plastic protrusion in the lower half of which parts such as the board, speakers, and power supply are placed. Due to this protrusion, the thickness of the body reaches 4.1 cm in the maximum state.
Unfortunately, just like LG’s OLED TVs, the base of the S95B is also located in the middle of the device; Although the base itself is metal and relatively wide; the large dimensions of the TV and its very small thickness make it not to be firmly and firmly placed on the table and not to wobble; Of course, you can install the TV on the wall with a 300×200 mm VESA mount.
All the ports of the S95B TV, including HDMI and USB, are included in the plastic protrusion on the back of the device. These ports are covered with a plastic screen to integrate and beautify the back of the device. After installing it, surprisingly, you won’t be able to access the ports! Samsung TV ports are as follows:
Four HDMI 2.1 ports with the ability to transfer 4K120 image signal; Two ports facing down and two ports on the side of the frame
Two USB 2.0 ports on the side of the frame
A network port
Internal and external receiver input
An optical audio output
One of the HDMI ports (number 3) has eARC capability and can be used to connect the device to the soundbar. USB ports are also different in terms of current and voltage; One of the ports is limited to 0.5 amps and 5 volts and the other is limited to 1.0 amps and 5 volts; Therefore, it is considered a more reasonable option for connecting an external hard drive.
Stunning brightness and disappointing color accuracy
I mentioned earlier that we had the 65-inch S95B model available for review. With such dimensions, you can enjoy the 4K resolution of the panel the most if you sit at a distance of about 2 meters from the TV; At closer distances, pixels can be separated, and at distances greater than 2 meters, your brain’s perception of a 4K image will be no different from a 1080p image.
The Samsung S95B TV uses a 10-bit OLED panel with a resolution of 4K or 2160 x 3840 pixels and can display more than a billion colors. Supporting this number of colors is essential to provide an optimal experience of HDR content playback. In the following, I will explain more about the compatibility of Samsung TVs with HDR standards and the quality of color display.
Unlike LCD panels, where the light needed by the pixels is provided by a number of LED lights on the edge or back of the panel, in OLED panels, each pixel provides its own light; As if instead of a limited number of exposure areas, for example 500-600 in MiniLED TVs, we have more than 8 million exposure areas; Thus, to display the color black, the pixels are turned off, so that instead of a spectrum of gray color, we see a deep black and experience an extremely high contrast.
The absence of any Blooming thanks to the precise control of light in the TV’s OLED panel
The great advantage of self-lit pixels (pixels that provide their own light) in displaying deep black and preventing the Blooming phenomenon (creating a halo around bright subjects in a dark background) thanks to the very precise control of the light distribution, also has some weaknesses; The greater vulnerability to burn-in phenomenon during long-term static image display and the lower level of OLED panel brightness compared to MiniLED samples are among these weaknesses.
Like other OLED TVs, the S95B TV is not immune to the risk of burn-in. In order to reduce the possibility of this phenomenon, the Koreans have considered solutions such as moving the image slightly in different time periods. Unfortunately, we do not have the possibility to examine the TVs for a long time to evaluate their performance in preventing the risk of burn-in; But at least based on RTINGS’ long-term and unrealistic test, the S95B seems to be more vulnerable compared to its competitors; However, in real use, it is unlikely that a user would want to watch TV with such intensity.
To overcome the inherent weakness of OLED panels in achieving higher levels of brightness, Samsung engineers have combined quantum dot technology with OLED panels. Quantum dots are very small crystal particles that are layered in the heart of the display panel. With the help of the quantum dot layer, the panels achieve higher brightness and produce more vivid colors. Samsung calls its combined panel QD-OLED and claims that with the help of the Neural Quantum processor in the heart of the S95B TV, this panel can raise the brightness to a higher level than its competitors.

In my measurements, when only 10% of the screen was lit and the device was playing a normal SDR image, the brightness of the S95B panel reached 1100 nits in the highest mode, which is a very good number and better than the brightness of the C2 and C3 TVs in the same conditions, respectively. It is about 300 and 100 nits more.
Aside from the S95B’s excellent performance in SDR image brightness, the real magic happens when the device is playing HDR video. In this situation, when 10% of the screen is lit, the brightness reaches a stunning number of about 2200 nits, which is 700 nits more than the HDR brightness of the C2 and C3 TVs. Achieving such a level of brightness helps the TV to deliver a stunning HDR movie viewing experience.

Note that the stunning numbers of 1100 and 2200 nits are obtained when a small part of the screen is bright, which is often the case in movies and series, and the entire image is not full of bright colors; But when the whole screen is lit; For example, consider a scene from The Lord of the Rings where we see Galadriel in the land of the elves, in such a situation, the maximum brightness of the whole screen is about 370 nits, which is still 40 nits higher than the LG TV.
Thanks to the panel’s excellent brightness and the deep blacks produced by the muted pixels, it’s no surprise that the Samsung TV’s image contrast is superb; Especially since there is an anti-reflective coating on the panel so that you can enjoy the image even in bright environments; Note that unlike what comes from the corners of the panel, you should not remove this anti-reflective layer from the panel; Otherwise, you will face problems like us!
If you think that the S95B is the best TV on the market so far, I must say that not everything about the S95B is rosy.
The S95B TV provides the user with the following four color profiles, all of which tend to be very cold by default and do not produce very accurate colors.

FILMMAKER Mode
Like most OLED TVs on the market, the S95B TV also covers a wide range of colors. In my tests, the Samsung TV managed to cover about 148% of the sRGB color space, nearly 100% of the DCI P3 wide space, and 75% of the Rec 2020 ultra-wide space. These numbers are great, But the disappointing thing is the very low accuracy of the device in producing the mentioned colors with factory settings.

The most accurate colors of the S95B TV are depicted by the FILMMAKER Mode profile with an error of 4.1, in which the TV covers about 90% of the DCI P3 color space; As a comparison, in the review of the C3 TV, the color display error in the same FILMMAKER mode was 3.6 and in the most accurate color profile it was 3.0; Therefore, Samsung TV does not have an interesting performance in terms of factory calibration of colors.
We were so surprised by the results that we returned the TV and got another S95B to review, But the results did not change.
Fortunately, Samsung TV provides you with various settings to change parameters such as gamma, color temperature, color hue, and brightness limiter (ABL) so that you can achieve your desired style and style for displaying colors; For example, I was able to reduce the color display error in the Standard profile from a terrible number of 12.1 to a very good number of 3.0 by making the following changes.

Another weakness of Samsung S95B TV compared to LG OLEDs is that it does not support HDR videos with Dolby Vision standard; The iPhone, for example, records HDR video using the same standard. Samsung TV supports HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG standards.
Like other OLED TVs, the Samsung S95B TV has wide viewing angles, and even from the corners, it displays colors with the least drop in freshness; So if you use wide furniture at home, you can safely go to S95B.
Samsung has focused a lot on the gaming capabilities of its TV; The device uses a 120 Hz panel with support for FreeSync Premium and G-Sync technologies, and the TV itself provides the user with Game Mode, which, by activating it, significantly reduces Input Lag, makes available a variable refresh rate, and The frames of the games can also be seen.
Samsung compensates for the visual weaknesses of the S95B TV with the amazing listening experience of its powerful speakers; While a TV like the LG C3 uses 40-watt speakers, Samsung engineers have used 60-watt speakers with a 2.2.2 channel combination in the S95B’s slim body; In the sense that two speakers throw the sound down, two speakers throw the sound up, and two woofers are responsible for producing low frequencies.
The S95B TV supports Dolby Atmos surround sound and its sound output is considered excellent for a TV; The volume is high, you can hear the pounding bass, and at high volumes, the distortion is controlled at a reasonable level.
Tizen; The user interface is more limited and different from competitors
Finally, we must avoid the TV user interface; Samsung’s OLED TV, like the rest of the company’s TVs, uses the Tizen operating system. The user interface of the device is smooth and smooth, moving between different menus of the user interface is done without problems, although sometimes with a little slowness; But the device can play most of the video formats.
A number of functions are also available, which doubles the enjoyment of the TV experience, provided that the user uses a Samsung phone; For example, you can run the Samsung phone’s desktop mode or Dex on the TV and use the phone’s screen as a trackpad. The phone can even be used as a webcam to make video calls with Google Mate on the TV.
If you want to write a text, you can call Microsoft365 from the Workspace section of the user interface by connecting a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard to the Samsung TV and start writing in Microsoft Word software.
Samsung Internet Browser is available in the S95B TV user interface; But the Samsung remote control, despite its compact design and the possibility of being charged with a solar panel or USB-C port, does not have the ability to use a mouse; So you have to browse the web with the arrow keys of the remote control; In my opinion, this is one of the main weaknesses of Samsung TV compared to LG TV with its practical magic remote.
As another weakness, we should mention Samsung’s not very rich store; For example, you can’t find some useful apps like Spotify or native apps like Filmo in the Samsung TV store.
Without a doubt, the S95B is one of the most stunning TVs we’ve ever reviewed on Zoomit; An attractive and extremely slim device that will amaze you with its stunning brightness and contrast, impressive gaming capabilities, and very powerful speakers.
In terms of factory color calibration, the S95B appears below expectations and a bit disappointing; So, if you are not very fond of the image and do not know much about color parameters, you will have to start with inaccurate and very cold colors; But if you are aware of the color parameters, you can change them and enjoy the attractive picture of the TV to the fullest.
The S95B TV is one of Samsung’s 2022 flagships, and now its 65-inch model is sold in the price range of 105 million Tomans; In this range, go for the more updated LG C3 TV with more accurate colors, or for a little more money, choose the Sony A80L TV for 2023, which is powered by a more practical Android operating system; In addition, C2 TV is also available at a price of 10 million less than in 2022.
what is your opinion? Do you think the S95B is a reasonable choice or do you prefer other models from LG or Sony?
