That 200MP quad-cam setup with 5x zoom? Just bonkers. Like, you could zoom in on your neighbor’s cat from across the street and count the whiskers.
• The 6.9" AMOLED screen is stupidly gorgeous—seriously, it’s like holding a mini IMAX, and Gorilla Armor 2 means you won’t panic every time it slips off the couch.
• Snapdragon 8 Elite inside, flexing hard with an AnTuTu score over 2.2 million. This thing’s faster than your morning coffee rush.
• S Pen—still the productivity king. Doodle, scribble, annotate, and poke at your to-do list while pretending you’re a 21st-century Picasso.
No microSD slot. So, hope you don’t shoot 8K video non-stop, because storage is what it is.
• 45W charging is fine, but OnePlus 13 will laugh at you from the finish line.
• S Pen’s Bluetooth tricks? Gone. No more waving it around like a wizard’s wand.
Premium Build & S Pen:
Titanium frame, Gorilla Glass Victus 2, IP68—tough as nails. It’s heavy (218g) but fits the hand, thanks to those rounded corners. S Pen’s there for all your doodling and note-taking, just don’t expect the Bluetooth magic this year. Titanium Jadegreen? Fancy. Almost makes you forget the price.
2. That Display, Though:
6.9-inch AMOLED, Dynamic LTPO, QHD+, and a blinding 2600 nits. You want buttery-smooth 120Hz? You got it. Anti-reflective, so goodbye, annoying glare. Pro Scaler means your old YouTube videos don’t look like potato quality anymore.
3. Speed
Snapdragon 8 Elite (3nm), Adreno 830 GPU—this thing chews through apps and games. 40% bigger vapor chamber keeps it from melting when you push it. One UI 7.0 + Galaxy AI = life hacks everywhere. Seamless Actions, Now Brief, all that jazz.
4. Cameras
200MP wide, 50MP ultrawide, 10MP 3x tele, 50MP 5x periscope. It’s basically a DSLR with a SIM card. Shoots 8K video like it’s nothing. ProVisual Engine makes your dog’s Instagram look pro. 12MP selfie cam’s the same as before, but hey, if it ain’t broke...
5. Battery Life:
5000mAh. Lasts around 14 hours, which is solid. 45W wired gets you to 65% in half an hour, but let’s be real, some competitors are lapping it. Wireless and reverse charging are there if you need ’em, just don’t expect miracles.
If you’ve got deep pockets and want the absolute best camera and screen on a phone, the S25 Ultra’s a monster. It’s the phone to flex on iPhone 16 Pro Max and OnePlus 13 users—especially if you’re all about photos, notes, and shiny toys. But if you’re looking to save a few bucks, the S25 Plus does almost everything this beast does, minus a couple frills. Your call.
