This is how Samsung makes money: the secret is in the IPHONE
An ode to refinement


The first change that comes to the Galaxy S25 family has to do with the design. There are three main changes in its appearance. The first of them has to do with the ring that covers the lenses. Now it is more reminiscent of the company’s folding mobile phones, unifying the design between its high-end terminals. Personally, I think it is a complete success, since it creates more brand consistency than ever.
We noticed the second change as soon as we picked up the phone: the weight has been reduced quite a bit. This Galaxy S25 Ultra now weighs 218 grams, 15 less than the previous generation. This is very noticeable on a phone, and it is now much more pleasant to hold in one hand. It is also thinner, 15% more.
This is also helped by last big change, related to its corners. Last year they were quite angular and ended up digging into the palm of the hand. They are now much softer and, without destroying the Ultra design essence, make the phone much more comfortable.
Top-notch hardware and cutting-edge software


As for the hardware, almost everything remains the same as last year. The big change comes in the update of the processor, which becomes the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite. For the rest, the memory, battery, connectivity configurations are maintained… The screen grows a little to 6.9 inches and reduces its edges, which allows the size not to increase. Maintains the anti-reflective treatment from last year and, in this model, it debuts Corning’s new Gorilla Glass Armor 2.
Software is one of the reasons for being in Samsung’s high-end, which comes with the release of One UI 7. This is one of the biggest changes we have ever seen from Samsung, both in terms of design and functionality. As for the interface, everything has been refined and looks more modern. The icons of a good part of the system have been changed, and the appearance when we see it is (in my opinion) much better than that of the previous version.
The seven years of updates are maintained, a field in which Samsung dominates with an iron fist. Of course, its ROM is based on Android 15so we are up to date.


The big changes come in AI. Everything has been refined and improved, a lot. Gemini It becomes the default assistant, image generation is now much better (it is surprising how brutal the progress has been) and we have more than interesting options, such as call recording with automatic transcription. And, yes, this option will be available in Spain.
Some of these functions now work locally and do not require an internet connection, making the AI experience more private. Natural communication between applications, a contextual widget that will show us different information throughout the day, a screen selector to analyze its content and perform actions (create GIFs, screenshots, copy texts, etc.). Everything has been given a twist so that AI becomes another element of everyday life, and not an element to be used from time to time.
To top it off, this device comes with 6 months of Gemini Advanced, a good gift from Samsung and Google to enjoy the best AI features.
A camera section focused on video


If we talk about the camera, the hardware is practically identical to what we saw last year. It is repeated with 200 megapixelsthe telephoto lens is once again double (x3 and x5), and the change is in the ultra wide angle, which goes from 12 to 50 megapixels. Despite this, there are important improvements, especially when it comes to video.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra you can finally record in LOG. He logarithmic format It allows recording without final processing, in a much flatter format. In terms of coloring the video in editing, it is much better and offers more professional results, as long as we know how to use it. The professional video functions also improve, now having implementation of zebra patterns to detect overexposure.
Samsung has worked with Qualcomm to fine-tune the phone’s noise reduction engine, which works in real time and is capable of detecting moving subjects, static subjects and different changes in scenes. In other words, everything works in real time so that the final processing is the best possible.
