Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: What to expect?

01 January 2024
More of the same? A little design twist? S Pen - you bet!

Sort by:

No new battery technology like red magic and 1+, same display like last year, not new generation like iphone16 (samaung made those too) Just a new CPU and a better camera zoom.

    Nothing new, as usual. Next.

      Anonymous, 01 Jan 2025Yeah yeah only after crippling Huawei. Chinese companies se... moreLet's be honest - that will happen only when Chinese companies start offering phones with almost naked stock android. Or something similar. Currently comparing Samsung to Chinese phone, regardless of the spec sheet details, is like comparing DIY raspberry pi to a corporate working PC.... Chinese android modifications and skins are simply a disaster

        waiting for a phone that is slightly wider ( so it is easier to write on it ). Screen should still be bigger for that ( At least 7 inch with slimmest possible bezels for that compactness feeling )
        Battery should be at least 6000 mAh -silicon carbon coupled with efficient snapdragon 8 elite series , more optimized one UI ( that prevents standby battery drain like Apple ) and highly efficient M14 panel. This will lead to amazing battery life and lobger longevity of battery and screen . Speakers can be louder

            Anonymous, 02 Jan 2025And there is nothing wrong with that. If you have an S24 U... moreThe point is. To those with old phones ( 2020 or before) , it is not worth paying for S25 series over s24.

            It is not about having s24 and buying s25.

              Darth Caesium, 01 Jan 2025These are fundamentally DPAF sensors, not PDAF. If I'm... moreOnly GN series has dual pixel.
              JN and HP are all phase detection.
              JN3 is not even official yet.

              Glass is not just to " look pretty". Heat dissipation is poor if used stuff like kevlar, carbon fiber, real wood etc. Losing heat easily is very important when you like in places like southern USA, Central America, Eastern South America, Africa, Australia for example.

                Anonymous, 01 Jan 2025S25 = 24 + new SoC Correct. I think until apple goes punch-hole in 2027 samsung phones will have same design. And samsung wonders why it gets blame.that it copies apple.

                Samsung is innovative I am not saying it isnt. The flip and fold series are innovative and inventive. But copying apple in silly things like removing charger immediately after apple does, not changing their phone design until apple does, attracts shade towards samsung.

                    If you have an S24 Ultra (or any other $1000+ flagship phone) and you think you need to get a new one next year (or in any less than 2 years really) - something is wrong with YOU.

                      Oh and paid reviews masking as honest ones, all claiming that the phone has changed the android landscape.

                        Anonymous, 01 Jan 2025Again trying to turn PDAF sensors into dual pixel ? 🤣🤣🤣 Ag... moreI checked again just to make sure, and while we have no idea about the Samsung ISOCELL JN3's autofocus, the Samsung ISOCELL GNJ most definitely uses DPAF, not PDAF. You're just wrong about me using the incorrect autofocus.

                          Removing the Headphone Jack is a cardinal sin, a sacrilege for the tech gods.

                              "Titanium JadeGreen"

                              So which is it? Titanium, or jade? Can't really be both, Samsung🤭

                                  The S23 Ultra brought the 200MP main camera and the periscope was 230mm.

                                    It's visible on one of the pictures that the phone has 69% battery, yet it still needs 43 minutes to fully charge, that's laughable.
