Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra at a Glance
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is a Samsung phone that reached the market on 2025-02-07. It runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy (3nm) with 12GB of RAM, and storage comes in 3 sizes (256GB, 512GB, 1TB (UFS 4.0)).
Display
The screen is listed as 6.9" Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X, 120Hz, 1440x3120, HDR10+, up to 2600 nits. At 6.9 inches it is a large panel that favours video, reading and split-screen work over one-handed use. A 120Hz refresh rate makes scrolling, animations and gaming look clearly smoother than on a standard 60Hz screen.
Performance and Storage
Performance comes from the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy (3nm). 12GB of RAM leaves generous headroom for heavy multitasking and large games. Because there are several storage options (256GB, 512GB, 1TB (UFS 4.0)), it is worth deciding how much you really need: photos, 4K video and downloaded games fill space quickly, and this phone's storage cannot be assumed to be expandable unless the spec says so.
Cameras
On the back, the camera setup is 200MP main + 50MP ultrawide + 10MP telephoto (3x) + 50MP periscope telephoto (5x), a 4-lens arrangement. Having more than two lenses usually means dedicated zoom or ultrawide options, so check which focal lengths you will actually use. The front camera is 12MP, which is the one that matters for selfies and video calls.
Battery and Charging
Battery life is described as 5000mAh. A 5000mAh cell is on the larger side for a modern phone. Charging is 45W wired, 15W Qi2 wireless, 4.5W reverse charging; a 45W wired rate is quicker than the slow 18-20W bricks older phones shipped with.
Software and Build
It ships with Android 15, One UI 7 (seven years of OS and security updates promised). The build is Titanium frame, Gorilla Armor 2 front and back glass, S Pen included, IP68. The IP68 rating describes dust and water resistance: the first digit covers dust, the second covers water, and neither guarantees protection from every kind of liquid or damage over time.
