The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is Samsung’s ultimate – or ultra – smartphone for 2025, packing in the best elements of the rest of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, while having some features and upgrades reserved just for this.
It’s also a huge improvement on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, especially when it comes to power, as its Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset delivers 37% faster processing, 30% better graphics performance, and 40% faster AI performance.
So if you like playing games on your phone, want to use lots of AI, or just like things to feel as fast and smooth as possible, then the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is a top choice – especially as it also has 12GB of RAM.
And speaking of AI, this has one of the most comprehensive AI suites we’ve yet seen on a smartphone, so there are impressive AI tools to help with almost everything you might want to do on your phone.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra also has an upgraded camera, with a new 50MP ultra-wide snapper in place of its predecessor’s 12MP one, and that’s joined by loads of other cameras, including a 200MP main one, a 50MP periscope camera with 5x optical zoom, and a 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom – a combination that makes this one of the best camera phones on the planet.
Samsung has also increased the size of the screen here, bringing this up to a massive – and iPhone 16 Pro Max-rivalling – 6.9 inches. That’s a 1440 x 3120 AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, so it’s sharp, vibrant, and smooth too.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra also has a big 5,000mAh battery, with 45W wired and 25W wireless charging, and it comes with an S Pen stylus, which is ideal for sketching and taking notes. Plus, there’s water resistance, loads of storage space, and a design that’s built to last, thanks to the use of tough Gorilla Armour 2.
