Size comparison
When it comes to dimensions and build quality, both devices are pretty much identical. The only difference is that the newer Galaxy is 0.4 mm thinner now. It may not sound much, but it's noticeable in the hand feel.

Display comparison
There's absolutely no change in the display department. The Galaxy S25 and S24 share identical OLED panels with the same features and maximum brightness, so there's nothing to dissect here.
