Samsung is getting ready to unveil its upcoming flagship, the Galaxy S25 series, which is likely to be launched in early 2025. Recent leaks and gossip suggest that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will feature several impressive upgrades, especially regarding its display, design, and overall performance. A well-known tipster, ICE Universe, has mentioned that the phone will provide higher peak brightness, improved color accuracy, and a wider viewing angle. However, specific numbers have not been disclosed.
Enhancements in Display
A standout feature of the S25 Ultra is expected to be its newly designed flat display. Reports indicate that the device could sport a 6.86-inch screen, making it a tad larger than the 6.8-inch display of the S24 Ultra. There are claims that this new display might achieve a brightness increase of about 20–30%, potentially hitting between 3100–3400 nits, which would mark a substantial upgrade from the previous model's 2600-nit peak brightness. Still, it's important for readers to take these figures with some skepticism. This enhancement may be made possible by Samsung's innovative M14 OLED technology, which is anticipated to improve color accuracy, viewing angles, and overall brightness.
Performance and User Experience
The design of the Galaxy S25 Ultra seems to be changing as well. Leaks suggest that it will feature rounded corners, a design element not seen since the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Aluminum dummy units indicate that the phone will be easier to grip, with a thickness of 8.25mm (down from 8.6mm on the S24 Ultra) and a slimmer body measuring 77.6mm in width compared to 79mm. Moreover, the device is expected to feel lighter, weighing 221 grams instead of the 232 grams of its predecessor.

In terms of performance, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumored to be equipped with the "For Galaxy" version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. This chipset, built on TSMC's 3nm process, is designed to enhance performance and power efficiency, which could lead to improved battery life, even though the phone will keep the same 5000mAh battery and 45W charging capabilities. Benchmark results show a notable increase in performance over the S24 Ultra, with single-core scores surpassing 3000 points and multi-core scores around 9000, indicating a robust and efficient upgrade. For comparison, the S24 Ultra achieves scores of roughly 2000 and 6600 in similar tests.
In conclusion, the Galaxy S25 Ultra appears to deliver a mix of small yet significant enhancements.
