Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: Sleek Design, Snapdragon 8 Elite, and Potential Price Hike Revealed
November 21, 2024The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to showcase a more standardized design with rounded corners and flat sides, moving away from the squared aesthetics of the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Leaked dummy units of the Galaxy S25 Ultra reveal this shift towards a slightly more rounded design, contrasting with the sharper angles of its predecessor.
This new model is anticipated to be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset in select markets, ensuring high performance for the Ultra variant.
Speculation suggests that the screen size may increase slightly to 6.86 inches, although this change might be negligible without direct comparison.
Display supply chain analyst Ross Young has indicated potential color options for the S25 Ultra, including Titanium Black, Titanium Blue, Titanium Gray, and Titanium Silver, although these may not particularly excite consumers.
As the smartphone market becomes increasingly homogenized, consumers are facing limited choices as major brands produce similar designs and features.
Concerns persist regarding the low horizontal screen-to-body ratio of the S24 Ultra, which could carry over to the S25 Ultra, potentially impacting user experience.
The S25 Ultra is rumored to feature a titanium frame, continuing the trend established by the S24 Ultra.
Images suggest that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will maintain a thin profile similar to its predecessor, with a large 6.8-inch screen.
While the final design and specifications may differ from these leaks, the official announcement of the device is expected between early to late January 2024.
The camera setup is likely to remain consistent with the S24 Ultra, featuring a 200 MP main lens, a 50 MP telephoto lens, and a new 50 MP ultra-wide sensor for enhanced photography.
Early rumors suggest a potential price increase for the S25 Ultra compared to its predecessor, attributed to the introduction of the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.
