The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra launches tonight with a sleeker design, powerful chipset, improved cooling, and camera upgrades.
Galaxy S25 series is launching in India tonight, January 22, 2025, and people are eager to see what new features the company has in store. Among the models being unveiled, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to steal the spotlight with its upgrades. If you’re thinking about getting the Ultra model, here are eight important things you should know before the official launch.
Design
The Galaxy S25 Ultra will keep its signature large-screen design but with a few noticeable changes. It will feature slimmer bezels and more rounded corners, making it more comfortable to hold. The phone will also be a bit slimmer than its predecessor, with a thickness of 8.2mm and a weight of 219g, which makes it lighter than the S24 Ultra. It is expected to maintain the IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, but there’s also a chance that Samsung might introduce IP69 for better protection from water, though we’ll have to wait for the official confirmation.
Display
The S25 Ultra will have a 6.9-inch screen, which is a slight increase from the 6.8-inch display on the S24 Ultra. It will continue to offer a QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with an adaptive refresh rate that can go from 1Hz to 120Hz. Although earlier leaks suggested the screen might be brighter, it seems the brightness will stay the same at 2,600 nits, which is still excellent for vibrant colors and clear visibility in direct sunlight.
Powerful New Chipset
One of the biggest updates is the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. This new chip promises to bring better overall performance, while also being more energy-efficient. Qualcomm claims that it offers up to 44% better power efficiency compared to the previous Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which means the phone will run more smoothly and last longer on a single charge. The upgraded chip will also improve the phone’s graphics, making it great for gaming and multitasking.

Improved Cooling
The S25 Ultra will come with an enhanced cooling system to keep things running smoothly, even during heavy usage. It is said to have a vapor chamber cooling system, which is 42% better than the one found in the S24 Ultra. This means your phone will stay cooler, preventing it from overheating during long gaming sessions or when using demanding apps.
Battery: Same Capacity, Longer Life
The battery size on the S25 Ultra will be the same as its predecessor—5,000mAh. While some might have hoped for a larger battery, the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset is more power-efficient, meaning the battery should last longer. You can expect the phone to perform better in terms of battery life, even with the same capacity.
Faster Charging
Samsung is expected to improve charging speeds on the S25 Ultra, especially when it comes to wireless charging. The phone will support 25W wireless charging, up from 15W on the S24 Ultra. For wired charging, it will maintain the 45W fast-charging speed. While this is not the fastest charging out there, it’s still pretty solid and should get you back up and running in no time.
Camera Updates
The camera setup on the S25 Ultra will continue to be impressive. It will feature a 200MP main camera, a 50MP ultrawide camera, a 50MP periscope telephoto lens, and a 10MP telephoto camera. While the camera setup looks similar to the S24 Ultra, there might be improvements in the sensors used to enhance image quality, especially in low light. It’s expected to capture even sharper and more detailed photos, making it a great choice for photography enthusiasts.
Smarter AI Features
Samsung is bringing several AI-powered features to the S25 Ultra that should make your phone even smarter. For example, the AI will help prioritize important notifications so you don’t miss anything urgent. It will also group notifications from the same source together to keep things organized. Samsung is also improving its virtual assistant, Bixby, with better natural language processing, making it easier to interact with the phone. Additionally, the AI will offer recommendations based on your habits, like suggesting music, apps, or even directions depending on your routine.
Pricing: What to Expect?
The price of the S25 Ultra is expected to be similar to the previous model, the S24 Ultra, which launched in India at Rs 1,29,999. While there are some rumors that the price could go up slightly, it’s likely Samsung will keep it competitive to stay in the race with other premium phones in the market. The company might also offer some discounts and deals during the launch to make it more attractive to buyers.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra looks set to be a powerhouse with its upgraded design, powerful chipset, better battery life, and impressive camera setup. Even though some areas like battery size and charging speed aren’t drastically changed, the overall improvements, especially in performance and AI, make it an exciting device to look forward to.
The official launch event starts tonight at 6 PM UTC (11:30 PM IST), and you can watch it live on Samsung’s website or YouTube channel. Stay tuned for all the details about pricing, availability, and other features after the event!
