Galaxy S25 Ultra 

Introduction

The world's greatest galaxy has returned, but the greatest distant shooter has vanished! The Galaxy S25 Ultra, the flagship model of the new series, offers many improvements in terms of appearance, performance, camera, and, of course, artificial intelligence. However, it loses Bluetooth connectivity, which is perhaps the most cherished S-Pen feature.

Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra design is finally perfect; it features a flat frame with rounded corners, which should enhance both appearance and usability. With a grade 5 titanium frame and second-generation Gorilla Glass Armor, the phone's front is even more durable this time.

Although the S25 Ultra is now lighter, thinner, and narrower than the S24 Ultra, it features a larger 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with 1440p resolution because of the smaller bezels.

All S25 versions, including the Ultra, are powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite, the most welcome generational upgrade this year. The "for Galaxy" version of the most powerful Android chip to date has a boosted CPU since that's what Qualcomm and Samsung do.

Except for the ultrawide unit on the S25 Ultra, which now sports a 50MP sensor with an f/1.9 aperture (with autofocus, still), all of the cameras on the Galaxy S25 models remain the same as those on their S24 counterparts. There are no hardware enhancements for the 200MP primary, 10MP 3x and 50MP 5x telephoto cameras, or the 12MP selfie camera. To raise the overall quality of the images and videos, Samsung is depending on the new Snapdragon chipset's ISP.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is backed by a 5,000mAh battery capable of 45W fast wired charging. Qi2 wireless charging is also on the menu.

Why? The Ultra still has the S-Pen, but it no longer has Bluetooth, therefore there are no more air actions or remote camera shutters.

Unboxing Galaxy S25 Ultra

The phone, a USB-C cable, and a SIM ejection tool are all included in the slim black box that the Galaxy S25 Ultra comes in. As of this year, the DN980 model, a black 1m cable with a 3A rating, is still able to provide you with nearly the fastest charging speed. In the past, a 5A-rated cable was required to reach the full 45W rated power (or close to it). The charge section contains additional information regarding this development.
