Galaxy S25 Ultra: Premium Features with Familiar Limitations
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is set to remain the most expensive and feature-packed model in the series. Despite intriguing upgrades hinted at in leaks, Samsung’s flagship device might not deliver revolutionary changes in 2025. That said, users can expect enhanced camera capabilities, a brighter and better display, increased processing power, and a sleeker design. Additionally, Samsung’s new Galaxy AI features are likely to elevate the overall experience.
Brighter Display, But “Find My Device” Still Missing When Off
According to files reviewed by Android Authority, the Galaxy S25 Ultra will feature a display resolution of 3120 x 1440 pixels—identical to its predecessor, the Galaxy S24 Ultra. However, peak brightness sees a notable upgrade, climbing to an impressive 3000 nits compared to the S24 Ultra’s 2600 nits.
Renowned tipster Ice Universe has also confirmed significant improvements to the display quality, including the resolution of the grainy texture issue reported by some S24 Ultra users.
On the downside, the Galaxy S25 Ultra won’t support the “Find My Device” feature when powered off, a functionality already present in the Google Pixel 9 series. Despite Samsung’s strong collaboration with Google, this omission is surprising and may disappoint potential buyers.
Battery and Storage: No Major Upgrades
The Galaxy S25 Ultra will continue to use UFS 4.0 high-speed storage, ensuring fast and efficient performance. It will also support seamless A/B updates, allowing software updates without interrupting usage.
However, the device will stick to the same 5,000 mAh battery capacity Samsung has used for years, lagging behind competitors like Xiaomi and Oppo, who are leveraging high-density battery technologies to integrate larger cells without increasing phone thickness.
Galaxy S25 Ultra Launch Date and Potential Extras
Leaks suggest Samsung will host its first Unpacked Event of 2025 on January 22 or 23 to unveil the Galaxy S25 series. Rumors also hint at the possible debut of the Galaxy Ring 2 and Samsung’s new smart eyewear during the event.
Additionally, sources indicate that the Ultra model will be available in a fresh, softer shade of blue, adding a new aesthetic appeal to the lineup.

Conclusion
The Galaxy S25 Ultra promises several noteworthy improvements, such as a brighter display and refined design. However, with minimal changes to battery capacity and the absence of the “Find My Device” feature when off, it seems Samsung is focusing more on iterative enhancements than groundbreaking innovations.
Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the official launch date of the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
