Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra 1TB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
8.6/10
Verdict
The Galaxy S25 Ultra builds upon the AI capabilities of its predecessor and comes across as a more refined and polished flagship. It doesn't break the mould and seems like an incremental upgrade, but that doesn't take away anything from the fact that the S25 Ultra is still the most loaded Android flagship money can buy, delivering on everything from performance, camera, battery life, software and more. The S Pen and the ecosystem features remain a key highlight.
Pros
- Excellent display
- Solid performance & battery life
- AI & software features
- Lighter than before
Cons
- S Pen misses out on Air Actions
- Pricey
- Incremental upgrade over predecessor
Design and display
+
The Galaxy S24 Ultra was a big smartphone, and truth be told, it was a tad bit unwieldy to use just because of its sheer bulk. The new Galaxy S25 Ultra sticks to the same overall design language but shaves off a few millimetres and grams. It's not a drastic reduction, but it helps make the phone much more usable from a size and weight standpoint. The new flagship also has flatter edges and rounded corners as compared to its predecessor, giving the S25 Ultra a better in-hand feel. Continuing the refinements, the bezels around the screen seem slimmer too. Other than these, the S25 Ultra bears a familiar design, with the ports, controls, and other elements remaining similar to the previous iteration. The design is minimalist and industrial, with the most prominent aspect being the discrete camera lenses on the rear. These protrude more than before ever so slightly I think. The Ultra's mainstay, the S Pen, gets its own silo on the left side of the bottom edge as usual.SmartphoneThicknessWeightIP ratingGalaxy S25 Ultra8.2mm218 gramsIP68Galaxy S24 Ultra8.6mm232 gramsIP68Vivo X200 Pro8.2mm223 gramsIP68iPhone 16 Pro Max8.3mm227 gramsIP68

The headlining aspect of the S25 Ultra (and its two siblings) is the AI story, which continues where the S24 Ultra left off. The previous model was big on AI, and the successor doubled down, improving upon existing features and adding new ones. There are quite a few worth mentioning, and I'll try to give you a gist of the more noteworthy and interesting ones here.

From a camera perspective, the Galaxy S25 Ultra takes its predecessor's legacy forward, adding a 50MP ultra-wide sensor in place of the 12MP one in the S24 Ultra. The main camera retains the 200MP sensor, and the telephoto cameras are also the same at 50MP + 10MP, offering 5x optical zoom. The S24 Ultra was already an extremely capable and versatile performer in the camera segment, and the new model continues on the same path. We have a detailed camera comparison pitting the Galaxy S25 Ultra against the iPhone 16 Pro Max and the Vivo X200 Pro. It's a bit of a mixed bag overall, as you can imagine. Each phone has its strengths, and the difference is marginal at best. However, the long and the short of it is that after comparing results from the three flagships, shot across a variety of different scenarios and lighting conditions, the Galaxy S25 Ultra does come out on top, taking a small lead over its closest rivals. Needless to say, you won't be disappointed in any way with the photo quality it offers.

Performance and software
+
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is in a league that simply has to offer top-notch performance, and the phone does that quite admirably. Thanks to Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite, said to be customised especially for Samsung, the smartphone offers solid performance across the board. In conjuction with 12 gigs of RAM, it handles everything thrown at it with aplomb, including intensive gaming, without breaking into a sweat. Benchmark figures are solid – while the S25 Ultra doesn't top the charts in terms of Antutu scores, it rules the roost when it comes to Geekbench multi-core numbers. Similarly, gaming performance is quite high.
