As promised, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is here, and not much has changed from the previous Samsung S-series. The most noticeable updates are in the hardware, featuring a slightly slimmer design—approximately 0.4mm thinner. The side frame has transitioned from rounded to flat, with rounded angular corners, offering a tougher build with a titanium body finish.

Powered by the latest Android 15, this flagship smartphone supports satellite connectivity, making it a reliable gadget in areas with little or no signal. The Samsung S25 Ultra’s display has been upgraded to Gorilla Glass 2 on both the front and back panels. This year, Samsung has made the S25 Ultra narrower, but with slimmer, more appealing bezels, the screen size has actually increased by 0.1 inches to 6.9 inches. Additionally, it features a next-generation anti-reflection surface treatment, further enhancing sunlight visibility.

The new Galaxy S25 model features an exclusive Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset that resembles the regular Snapdragon 8 Elite but is significantly faster, thanks to higher clock speeds. It is powered by 12GB of RAM, which is faster than the RAM in the vanilla S25 model.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has seen impressive camera improvements, particularly in low-light conditions, thanks to the new ISP in the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.

An interesting addition is the redesigned notification panel and quick toggle options, accessible from both the right and left sides of the screen. You can circle screen images to search for similar ones, while the Gemini AI feature makes tasks like finding grills or nearby restaurants incredibly convenient.

Another standout is Google’s Brief feature, which summarizes and provides statistics about your favorite news or reminds you about upcoming meetings.
