At Event In San Jose, Samsung Unveils The New Flagship With Changes Focused On Ergonomics, A Performance Leap And New Software Features; Check Out What Changed.
Samsung officially unveiled the Galaxy S25 Ultra, its newest and most powerful smartphone. At a press event in San Jose, California, the South Korean giant showcased the evolution of its most iconic line, with significant updates in design, a substantial leap in performance, and a new generation of its Artificial Intelligence, Galaxy AI.
With the mission of surpassing the already excellent S24 Ultra, the new model bets on improved ergonomics and processing power that promises not only to optimize everyday tasks but also to expand the boundaries of what a cellphone can do. Below is a detailed analysis of the news.
Design And Construction: A New Ergonomics
The first major change in the S25 Ultra is visual and tactile. Samsung has abandoned the classic straight edges and sharp corners, a legacy of the old Note line, and adopted a new design. The top and bottom of the device are now rounded, while the sides have become completely straight. This change results in a noticeable improvement in ergonomics.

The device is 15 grams lighter than the previous model, weighing 217 grams, a noticeable difference in handling. Additionally, the screen edges are 15% thinner, and the screen itself is now completely flat, abandoning the side curvature. The protection has also been improved with the new Corning Gorilla Glass Armor 2, which promises 25% more drop resistance. One point noted during the initial contact was the rear finish, which seemed to accumulate more fingerprints than the matte version of the S24 Ultra.
Performance: The Power Of Snapdragon 8 Elite And The Focus On Cooling
As expected, the S25 Ultra is equipped with the next generation of Qualcomm processors. The new Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, manufactured in 3 nanometers, replaces the old Kryo cores with the new Orion cores, the same used in X Elite series notebook processors. According to Samsung, this results in a performance gain of 37% in CPU, 30% in GPU and 40% in NPU (Neural Processing Unit).
To handle this extra power, the cooling engineering has been improved. The internal vapor chamber of the S25 Ultra is 40% larger than that of the S24 Ultra, ensuring that the device maintains stable performance longer without overheating during heavy tasks like gaming with Ray Tracing. All versions will come with 12 GB of RAM and storage options of 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB. The policy of 7 years of software updates and security has been maintained.
Cameras And Software: The Evolution Is In The Details And In The AI
The hardware of the Galaxy S25 Ultra camera had a significant and important change. While the main 200 MP sensor and 3x and 5x zoom lenses (50 MP) were maintained, the ultrawide camera received a major upgrade, jumping from 12 MP to a new 50 MP sensor with an f/1.9 aperture. This improves the quality of wide-angle photos, enhances the macro mode, and allows for 8K video recording with this lens.
The biggest news, however, lies in the software. The professional Camera RAW application has been separated from the main app and completely redesigned, with advanced features such as a virtual ND filter (to reduce glare) and an enhanced astrophotography mode. In videos, Samsung included an impressive “Audio Remover” feature based on AI, which allows users to isolate or remove up to six different audio channels (voice, music, wind, etc.) from any video in the phone’s gallery.
Galaxy AI 2.0: What Is New In Artificial Intelligence
The second generation of Galaxy AI focuses on making artificial intelligence more proactive. The main novelty is the “Concierge,” an assistant that can perform complex actions across multiple apps with a single voice command. Commands like “find the next games for my team and add them to my calendar” or “find nearby bars and send the list via WhatsApp to Bruno” are executed through a new integration between the AI and the apps.
Other new features include the “Now Brief,” a widget that creates an intelligent summary of your day (steps, weather, events), and the “Now Bar,” a bottom bar that works with the locked screen, showing contextual information such as the Uber route or the map, a different solution from Apple’s “Dynamic Island” proposal. Well-known functions like “Circle To Search” remain present and optimized.
In summary, the first impressions of the Galaxy S25 Ultra show a more restrained hardware update, focused on refining an already good design and ensuring superior thermal performance. The major innovations lie in the software, with AI becoming more functional and the camera gaining professional-level tools. The decision to upgrade from previous models will depend on how much the user values these new and intelligent software capabilities.
