Samsung’s next flagship, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, is expected to hit Indian markets on January 17, 2025. Though the date has not been officially confirmed, leaks suggest that Samsung plans a global rollout starting early next year. The device is anticipated to bring significant upgrades in performance, camera, and build, making it one of the most awaited smartphones of 2025.
Expected Price in India
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumored to start at ₹1,35,000 for the base 256GB variant. Premium configurations, including a possible 1TB storage option, could cost significantly more. These prices align with Samsung’s positioning of the Ultra series as a luxury device.
Key Features and Specifications
Display and Design
The phone is expected to feature a 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with QHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Slimmer bezels and a sleeker design will reportedly make it lighter and more ergonomic compared to its predecessor. The device might also debut in titanium finishes with multiple color options, such as Black, Blue, and Gray.
Performance and Software
Powering the S25 Ultra will likely be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, a massive upgrade with custom Oryon CPU cores delivering cutting-edge performance. The device is expected to support up to 16GB RAM and UFS 4.1 storage technology, ensuring blazing-fast multitasking and storage speeds. It will run on Android 15-based One UI 7, promising a more refined user experience.
Camera System
The standout camera feature is a new 50MP ultra-wide sensor, alongside a 200MP primary camera. Additional sensors include a 50MP periscope lens (5x zoom) and a 10MP telephoto lens (3x zoom). These upgrades suggest significant improvements in low-light and zoom photography.
Battery and Charging
The Ultra could house a 5000mAh battery with 65W fast charging support, allowing users to power up in minutes. Wireless charging and reverse wireless charging capabilities are also expected.
Connectivity and Other Features
The Galaxy S25 Ultra will likely offer Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, USB Type-C 3.2, and IP68 water resistance. Samsung DeX and Wireless DeX features will remain part of the package. However, expandable storage and a 3.5mm headphone jack are not expected.
Release and Competition
Samsung will face stiff competition from devices like the iPhone 16 Pro Max and the Google Pixel 9 Pro, both of which are targeting the premium segment. With its focus on innovation and robust specifications, the Galaxy S25 Ultra aims to set a benchmark in flagship smartphones.
