The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra could have a wealth of new and improved
features, and we have a good idea of what to expect.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is likely to live up to its name as a top-tier smartphone, but will it also be packed full of new and improved features?

Based on the tips and rumors we've heard so far, were expecting a bit of a
mix here with some major improvements and some things staying much the same as on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra .

But its those new and improved things that were focused on in this article,
so below, youll find the most substantial upgrades were expecting from the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. More megapixels for your widest shots The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (Image credit: Future | Alex Walker-Todd)

The camera setup on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is already superb, but the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultras camera system could be even better, with multiple rumors suggesting this phone will have a new 50MP ultra-wide camera .

That would be a big jump in megapixels, as the current model has just a 12MP ultra-wide camera, so this change could lead to dramatically more detailed ultra-wide shots.

That will come in handy whenever you want to fit a lot into an image, and
will hopefully bring this snapper more in line with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultras main camera. Extra RAM for AI Circle to Search on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (Image credit: Philip Berne / Future)

AI is likely to become an increasingly important part of smartphones over the next few years, so its sure to be a big focus with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and one way that could manifest is in extra RAM.

While having a lot of RAM can help with all sorts of things, its particularly important for AI, so its perhaps unsurprising that Samsung is rumored to be increasing on the 12GB of RAM in the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra to 16GB in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra .

That said, one tip suggests the base model of the Galaxy S25 Ultra will still only have 12GB , meaning youd have to pay for a higher storage capacity if
you want 16GB. If you want to make heavy use of AI though and want it to be
as fast and smooth as possible, then that could be worth the investment. A top-end chipset to deliver peak performance Call of Duty: Mobile on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (Image credit: Philip Berne / Future)

If the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra does have more RAM than its predecessor then that should help ensure its more powerful. But what will help even more is a new, top-end chipset, and thats almost certainly what it will get, with most leaks suggesting the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will be equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset .

The Snapdragon 8 Elite has performed extremely well in benchmarks , with scores that in many cases beat even the A18 Pro in the iPhone 16 Pro Max . So if the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra does have this chipset as is looking very likely then it could be exceptionally powerful.

As well as possibly beating the iPhone 16 Pro Max when it comes to power, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra could match its clever charging capabilities, by having a MagSafe-like system of its own.

According to one rumor, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will support Qi2
magnetic wireless charging , which is a very similar tech to MagSafe. This would mean you could magnetically attach wireless chargers and other accessories (such as tripods and battery packs) to the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Notably though weve elsewhere heard that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra might just work with a line of cases that have magnets built in instead, which wouldnt be quite as slick, and were not certain which information is right.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultras screen is already massive at 6.8 inches, but according to the rumors so far, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra could have an even larger 6.9-inch display .

This is unlikely to make a drastic difference, but if the bezels are reduced too as is likely then it wont necessarily make the overall footprint of the phone much bigger, and that small amount of extra space could benefit movies, games, and anything else where bigger is better.

Even before you turn it on, there could be some obvious changes on the
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, with reports suggesting the S25 Ultra will have
much curvier corners than the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.

That could help it fit in visually more with the rest of the Samsung Galaxy S25 line, and might also make it more comfortable to hold (at least if you hold it in such a way that the corners dig into your hand).

But thats not all, weve also heard that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra might have smaller bezels than any other phone , which could leave it looking exceptionally high-end.
