Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: Key Features
The Galaxy S25 Ultra brings performance and features upgrades. It boasts a larger 6.9-inch display, slightly bigger than its predecessor’s 6.8-inch screen, with smoother, rounded edges. Despite the bigger size, the phone is lighter, weighing just 218 grams, and still packs a 5,000mAh battery, similar to the previous Ultra models.
The camera system has received a significant boost, featuring a 200MP primary sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide camera (up from the earlier 12MP sensor), and two telephoto cameras—a 50MP lens with 5x optical zoom, and a secondary 10MP lens with 3x optical zoom. The front-facing camera remains at 12MP but is expected to offer improved selfie and video call quality. The Galaxy S25 Ultra comes with 12GB of RAM across all storage variants—256GB, 512GB, and 1TB—and is powered by the new Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset. This custom chip delivers better performance and energy efficiency. Samsung has also improved the phone’s heat management with a 40% larger vapor chamber.

New AI Features

The on-device “Personal Data Engine” ensures user data remains secure, focusing on privacy.
Additionally, the AI Select tool suggests relevant AI features based on your screen activity. For example, it can offer writing suggestions or summarize text. Samsung also introduced voice-triggered tasks, like activating a blue light filter when you mention eye strain.
