Every major tech company is pushing artificial intelligence, and Samsung is no exception. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra brings iterative AI features but lacks major hardware innovations. With a $1,300 price tag, is it really worth the upgrade?
Design and Display: Minimal Changes, but a Sharper Look
- Rounded corners give the device a sleeker, more Galaxy S-like feel.
- Gorilla Armor 2 enhances durability and reduces glare.
- 15% smaller bezels make way for a larger 6.9-inch display with 2,600 nits peak brightness.
- No major design changes beyond minor refinements.
AI Features: The Main Focus
- Samsung’s AI tools are now smarter and easier to use, offering better assistance.
- However, the overall experience feels similar to previous models.
- The S Pen loses Bluetooth support, removing gesture controls and remote shutter functions.
Performance: Speedy but Power-Hungry
Snapdragon 8 Elite chip delivers 30-40% better performance in most tasks.
12GB RAM and up to 1TB storage ensure smooth multitasking.
One UI animations are tighter, making the phone feel faster.
Downside: Power-hungry performance leads to faster battery drain under heavy loads.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is an AI-driven powerhouse, but hardware changes are minimal. While it excels in speed and display quality, the lack of major upgrades makes it feel like a minor refresh rather than a revolutionary leap. If you own an S23 Ultra or S24 Ultra, you might not need to upgradeunless you really want the latest AI features.
