The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, launched on January 22, 2025, at $1,299.99, is a flagship Android smartphone that blends cutting-edge hardware with advanced AI features. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset with a custom Oryon CPU, it delivers a 45% performance boost and 44% better power efficiency compared to its predecessor. Available with 12GB or 16GB RAM (the latter in select regions) and storage options of 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB, it ensures seamless multitasking and ample space. Running Android 15 with One UI 7, it promises seven years of updates, extending support to 2032.
Its 6.9-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, with a 120Hz refresh rate and 2,600-nit peak brightness, offers vivid visuals enhanced by ProScaler technology and an anti-reflective Corning Gorilla Armor 2 coating. The titanium frame and IP68 rating ensure durability, while the rounded corners improve ergonomics, making it lighter (218g) than the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
The camera system excels with a 200MP main sensor, a new 50MP ultrawide, a 50MP 5x telephoto, and a 10MP 3x telephoto, delivering sharp, vibrant photos and 8K video. AI enhancements improve low-light performance and portrait shots, though minor noise issues persist in high-contrast scenes. The 5,000mAh battery supports 45W wired and 15W wireless charging, offering up to 31 hours of video playback.
Galaxy AI, powered by Google Gemini, enables cross-app actions like searching and note-taking via voice commands. The built-in S Pen, though without Bluetooth, remains a productivity tool. Available in Titanium Black, Gray, Silverblue, and Whitesilver, with exclusive colors like Jadegreen, it’s a premium device for those seeking top-tier performance and versatility.
