Galaxy S25 Ultra vs. S25 and S25 Plus: Detailed specifications and features comparison

Samsung has announced that new thing Samsung Galaxy S25 That series of phones Unpacked Events In San Jose, California, telco rattles out many new AI features, along with a fewer hardware improvements over last year’s phones. If you’re interested in the latest and greatest Samsung phones, Galaxy S25 Ultra Specifications compare with those of the standard Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus.

All three phones have the same price as last year Galaxy S24 Familybut they’ve all seen the changes. The standard $800 S25 comes with all the new AI tricks and upgrades, and is built with more storage and battery on a larger format handset, in addition to the $1,000 S25 Plus. And finally, the most premium (and most expensive) model, $1,300 S25 Ultrahas the absolute best specifications from a camera and screen perspective.

Unknown to all attendees, the unpacked event had a final surprise to reveal. Galaxy S25 Edgethe fourth brother in the phone generation, slimmer. Unfortunately, Samsung hasn’t revealed much about the device. Apart from seeing it showcased thinness on the show floor, there is no specification to compare it to the three famous siblings. If you believe the rumors, call your device a mystery.

That being said, here are all the specs of the three S25 phones that we know very well.

Design and display

It’s going to be difficult to see the difference between last year’s phone and this year’s phone, as the overall appearance hasn’t changed much. However, there are still visual differences in the phone. Both the smaller S25 and the larger S25 Plus have a trio phone lens on the back, with the S25 Ultra having four. As has been the case for many years, the Ultra model has a slot on the right side of the bottom edge for an extractable S-pen stylus.

Naturally, the standard S25 is the lightest, weighing 162 grams (5.71 ounces), the S25 Plus is heavier at 190 grams (6.7 ounces), and the S25 Ultra appears at 218 grams (7.69 ounces). Both the S25 and S25 Plus have standard aluminum frames, while the S25 Ultra comes in titanium. All three phones are IP68 rated for dust and water resistance.

Everything is AMoled with a refresh rate of 1-120Hz, but the display is in a different location for the phone. The standard S25 has a 6.2-inch screen with high HD resolution (2,340 x 1,080 pixels), while the larger S25 Plus screen has a 6.7-inch screen with 1440p resolution (3,120 x 1,440 pixels), while the S25 Ultra is It gets slightly larger. – Same 1440p resolution inch screen with anti-glare coating to minimize reflection.

There is another unifying factor. For the first time in years, the S25 Ultra has a curved screen like its small brothers. Another trace of the Notes series, the flat edges of the screen are gone. All phone screens have peak brightness of up to 2,600 knit.

camera

Since last year’s S24 series, all three phone cameras have not changed. The standard S25 and S25 Plus come with a trio of rear cameras, including a 50-megapixel main shooter, a 12-megapixel ultraweed camera, and a 10-megapixel telephoto with a 3x light zoom.

The S25 Ultra enhances these features with a 200 megapixel main camera, a new 50 megapixel virus a wide shooter game, and a dual telephoto camera. 10 megapixel 3x optical zoom with a 50 megapixel 5x optical zoom camera.

The three phones have a 12 megapixel front camera for selfies, all of which can shoot up to 8k of video from the rear camera.

performance

Mobile phones are mostly consistent in terms of performance, as all of their AI features are likely to require a high spec baseline. (I’ve heard this about Apple’s iPhone too.) All three phones pack 12GB of RAM. This could be a new baseline for using these features. Previously, the S24 only had 8GB of RAM.

All three are customized versions of Qualcomm’s most advanced mobile chips, Snapdragon 8 Elite It was introduced last October. It’s fast and has a lot of AI features built into it. The S25 phone is not the first to pack a chip; Xiaomi 15 The end of last year and OnePlus 13 It was featured earlier this year, but Samsung’s latest phone is one of the first packs that utilize Qualcomm’s most advanced silicon for use.

Mobile phones arrive at either 128GB or 256GB for the S25, either 256GB or 512GB for the S25 Plus, and the S25 Ultra arrives at 256GB, 512GB or 1TB, and the S25 escalates and escalates storage. As with the past few years, mobile phones don’t have microSD slots or other ways to physically expand storage, so you’ll need to buy cloud storage options to save more than onboard storage.

All phones have Android 15 out of the box, just like Samsung’s UI 7 overlay. All phones guarantee Samsung’s 7-year Android and security updates.

AI Features

New AI Features The S25 series may be the most decisive feature to distinguish it from last year’s S24 phones (it’s unclear whether it will lead to an older Samsung phone or how many features will flow). All three S25 phones have access to the same AI features.

One of the most important new AI features is what Samsung calls Cross App Action. For example, if you are requesting “Find a Vegan Pet-friendly Restaurant and send a text message,” refer to multiple apps for answers such as Yelp and Message. . If requested, either Samsung or Google’s AI models will be used.

Another AI feature exclusive to Samsung is AI Select. This suggests an action or app depending on what you are looking. Simply swipe out from the screen to launch the Edge Panel (sidebar with app shortcuts), tap the AI ​​Select button and suggest in a context like setting a GIF or setting an image . Looking as background on mobile phone.

Samsung also has a new feature called Conversation Search that responds to more casual requests with contextual suggestions. So when I say, “My eyes hurt, can I help with the screen?”, the phone brings out the brightness settings and a blue light filter. It also helps to make photo search smarter, just like how Apple and Google have used AI to improve their own photo album search.

The Circle to Search function, which debuted last year’s S24 series, has also been upgraded. This will allow you to recognize the audio, so you can say goodbye to Shazam. Also, new phones have more personalized recommendations, and Samsung is like recommending a thermostatic change when you notice that your phone sleeps well at a certain temperature (Samsung Galaxy Ring) Or assume you have health data from your Galaxy Watch.

battery

Battery capacity is another area where the phone is different, but it is important to make it clear that more capacity doesn’t always correlate with a phone that lasts longer. Brightness, GPS location tracking and other features can quickly turn off your phone regardless. But a larger battery means a larger battery life is greater for everything. The S25 has a 4,000-MAH battery, the S25 Plus has a 4,900-MAH battery, and the S25 Ultra has a 5,000-MAH battery.

Samsung phones have been stuck for years as both the S25 and S25 Plus have 25 watts of charge, and other major Android flagships leave them in the dust – OnePlus 13For example, I had a 100 watt charge (80 watts in the US) and in my test I completely refilled my empty battery in just over 30 minutes. The S25 Ultra is slightly better, with a charge of 45 watts, but it feels particularly old-fashioned on the most advanced phones of Samsung stables.

The three phones have 15 watts of wireless charging (the same ones available with the QI2 standard) and wireless PowerShare, which uses their own battery to juice other devices. The phone doesn’t have a Magsafe magnetic connection inside a phone like Apple’s latest iPhone, but you can approximate it with official Samsung and third-party cases with magnetic connectors.

Conclusion

Samsung’s three phone lineup has been set quite stone recently, with the lowest priced S25 at its most impressive specs, and suit users of the S25 Plus who need more battery, S25 Ultra will have the S-pen feature. We provide the best specifications.

However, these lines are a bit blurry thanks to a complete upgrade to 12GB of RAM. The big leap between the S25 Plus and the S25 Ultra remains the more impressive camera and stylus of the latter, but is becoming a steep hike at a price of $300.
