The Galaxy S25 phones are now official, and as expected, the main focus is on the high-end Galaxy S25 Ultra.
The most expensive of the flagship phone trio will give you the most impressive hardware specs. Indeed, five are completely exclusive to the Ultra when comparing it to its S25 stablemates.
We have an in-depth comparison of the Galaxy S25 models, but here's a quick look at the items only found on the Ultra.
Pre-order the Galaxy S25 from Samsung and find out what the best S25 deals are.
The biggest screen
Although the technology available on the S25 Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays is the same, with a peak brightness of 2,600 nits and a refresh rate of 1-120Hz, the Ultra has the largest of the three.
At 6.9 inches, it's 0.2 and 0.5 inches larger than the S25+ and S25, respectively. So if bigger is better for you, the Ultra is calling your name.

The best cameras
If you want the best shooters, the Ultra has the most diverse and capable cameras.
It's the only one with a 200 Mp sensor as well as a new 50 Mp ultra-wide camera. Add 10 and 50 MP cameras for a total of four on the back, while other S25 models only have three.
Samsung says you get optical zoom levels of 2x, 3x, 5x and 10x, but the Ultra's siblings max out at x3.
The most premium design
Samsung keeps the most premium materials for the Ultra, so it gets a titanium frame as well as Gorilla Armor 2 glass.
It's not only arguably prettier, but also more durable than the Armor Aluminum and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 found on other S25s. It remains to be seen how long-term sustainability will vary between them.

The most storage
The Ultra is the only one to offer a storage capacity greater than 512 GB.
Like the S25+, it starts at 256GB, but power users will welcome the 1TB option. Of course, this will cost you extra.
It's also worth noting that none of the S25 phones offer expandable storage, so be sure to choose a model with enough storage.
The biggest battery
Finally, the Ultra has the largest battery capacity of the three, mainly because it has enough space to itself.
However, it's not as exciting as the upgrades listed above. At 5,000mAh, it's only 100mAh larger than the S25+ and is by no means a market leader.
Samsung has added Qi2 wireless charging to the S25 series, but there is a problem in this regard.
