Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
Following the recent launch of Apple’s iPhone 16 series, Samsung is preparing to unveil its Galaxy S25 series globally. The flagship model, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, is anticipated to build on the success of the popular Galaxy S24 Ultra, introducing several enhancements and upgrades. With Samsung focusing heavily on Galaxy AI features in its S24 lineup, we expect this trend to continue in the upcoming S25 series.
Here’s everything we know so far about the Galaxy S25 Ultra, including credible leaks and rumors regarding its features.
Design
According to a report by Android Authority in collaboration with tipster @Onleaks, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is set to feature a more streamlined design with a slightly slimmer profile and thinner bezels. The phone is expected to adopt a completely flat design, reminiscent of the Pixel 9 series. On the back, the camera rings are anticipated to have a textured finish surrounding the sensors, with increased thickness compared to those on the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Display
Reports suggest that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will sport a 6.9-inch display, a minor upgrade from the 6.8-inch screen of the S24 Ultra. This size is comparable to the newly announced iPhone 16 Pro Max. The peak brightness of the S24 Ultra was boosted to 2,600 nits from the 1,750 nits of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, and a similar increase in brightness is expected for the S25 Ultra.
Cameras
Samsung is likely to maintain the 200MP primary sensor in the S25 Ultra, enhancing AI processing for improved low-light performance. The camera setup may also include a 12MP ultra-wide sensor and two telephoto lenses—one with 3x optical zoom and another with 10x optical zoom—mirroring the S24 Ultra’s configuration. Notably, the ultra-wide lens is rumored to upgrade from a 12MP sensor to a 50MP sensor in the new model.
As with previous iterations, we can expect software AI enhancements and upgrades to image-processing algorithms in the S25 Ultra, which should contribute to better low-light photography and overall image quality.
Release Date and Price
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to debut at Samsung’s annual Unpacked event in January 2025, likely after CES 2025, which concludes on January 10. Early rumors indicate that the base model could be priced around ₹1,20,000, featuring 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
Additionally, the device is expected to be equipped with a 5,000 mAh battery, supporting 45W fast charging, ensuring that users can quickly power up their devices.
Conclusion
With its anticipated design enhancements, powerful camera capabilities, and robust performance, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is shaping up to be a noteworthy addition to the smartphone market. As we approach the expected release date, more details are likely to emerge, making it an exciting time for tech enthusiasts and Samsung fans alike.
