Samsung has officially unveiled its next-generation flagship smartphones. The Galaxy S25 lineup is here, and it offers three devices at different price points and different features: the Galaxy S25, the Galaxy S25 Plus, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra. In this article, we compare the Galaxy S25 Ultra to its previous generations, the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is your typical "spec bump" upgrade, with Samsung following the beaten path and sticking to the formula that is working. Therefore, the smartphone does not offer many major changes over its predecessor. You get new colors, a beefier processor with more horsepower (up to 40% better NPU, up to 37% faster CPU, and up to 30% better GPU), a slightly larger display with rounded corners and tougher glass, and a few tweaks here and there.
Besides upgrading some aspects of the smartphone, like a higher-resolution sensor for the ultra-wide camera and video recording in LOG, Samsung took away some stuff. The S-Pen no longer features Bluetooth connectivity and air gestures, which means you can no longer use it, say, for remote camera controls.
Samsung is also bringing more AI-powered features like Audio Eraser for noise removal in videos and improved Gemini interaction with Samsung, Google, and third-party apps. The latter lets you ask complex questions and request actions, like finding your sports team's schedule and adding it to your calendar.
Here are key changes summed up in a list:
- Second-generation Gorilla Glass Armor with better fracture resistance
- Newer and faster Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor
- Slightly larger 6.9" display
- No Bluetooth support in the S-Pen
- A higher-resolution 50MP ultra-wide camera
- LOG video recording
- Bluetooth 5.4
- New AI software features
- New colors and a slightly tweaked design with more rounded corners
And here is a more detailed spec-by-spec comparison:
