Samsung will launch Galaxy S25 Ultra early next year and it will have new features but there are 5 specific reasons that you should be excited about this upcoming flagship.
Besides S25 Ultra, the company has two other phones planned under the S25 belt including a standard and a Plus variant but we’ll stick to Ultra for this article.
Ultra variant defines Samsung’s top-of-the-line hardware and software capabilities. This phone has all that a flagship user can think about. With the next version, the company will further the ultra’s specifications with five new additions. These are:
- Display and Design
- Performance
- Camera
- Battery
- Software
Display
Screen is the key attraction for Samsung’s Ultra devices and S24 U led this segment with slimmer bezels. It is equipped with a 6.8-inch rounded corners display with Quad HD+ resolution and 120 Hz max refresh rate.
Based on recent reports, the S25 Ultra will refine the display and round the corners alongside the middle frame. Unlike its predecessor, this new device will have a flat frame to highlight the slim display sides. It’ll be the first time, Samsung will opt for a flat frame compared to a curved end.
The S25 Ultra could increase the screen to 6.86 inches with a new LED composition, improving the visual quality and viewing angles.
With a new frame and display optimizations, Samsung is aiming for a slightly thin and light body for a better in-hand experience.
Performance
Galaxy S25 Ultra will use Snapdragon 8 Elite mobile processor. This chipset brings 45% performance improvement, 44% power efficiency boost, and a larger shared data cache.
Its new Adreno GPU has a better architecture with 40% performance improvement and 40% gaming frame efficiency.
Snapdragon 8 Elite’s 45% Hexagon NPU can boost 45% performance in AI task handling and similar enhancement in performance per watt. The new chip can support longer token inputs.
Camera
S25 Ultra will use a 200MP main camera, 10MP secondary telephoto with 3X zoom, and 50MP primary periscope zoom with 5X zoom. These camera specs are identical to the previous Ultra model but a new change will come with a 50MP Ultra wide angle.
This new lens will contribute to improved photography and videography in parity with the main camera.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite has AI for ISP fused with Hexagon NPU to provide smart camera features and improved 4K photo and videography. It also supports image editing features such as video objective remover.
Battery
The next-gen S series is likely to retain a 5000mAh battery from its predecessor with 45W fast charging. However, new software and chipsets could improve the power efficiency and extend its battery life.
Software
One UI 7 will debut with Galaxy S25 devices with new graphical changes. For example, the new One UI has refreshed Quick Settings looks and interactiveness.
Aside from UI, the company has made minor tweaks to simplify the interface. It has worked through essential parts of the system such as settings and in-device searches with AI.
The AI software capabilities could also extend to system apps and we primarily see its effect on Camera features for quality enhancements. You can expect Satellite connectivity to be a part of this new operating system.
One UI 7 will extend the focus on device security and data privacy with new tools such as anti-theft and app permission management from Android 15.

The excitement doesn’t stop here, the South Korean phone maker has plans to improve the S-Pen’s pressure sensitivity. On the other hand, you will see new color options with improved titanium material.
