Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra 12 GB / 256 GB / China / SM-S9380 technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra suits people seeking a large phone for photography, productivity, and advanced connectivity. Its main drawback is its 218 g weight, while the 5000 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones of its time.
The 6.9″ display reaches 498 ppi and 2600 nits. Its pixel density is among the best, and its brightness is better than most phones launched around the same time. The Snapdragon 8 Elite, 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and UFS 4.0 storage place its hardware among the best, although this version has 256 GB and no expandable storage. The 200 MP main camera, 1/1.3″ sensor, and f/1.7 aperture are among the strongest specifications of its time, while 5x optical zoom is also among the best. Connectivity includes 5G, Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, eSIM, UWB, and USB 3.2 Gen 1.
Wireless charging at 15 W is better than most phones of its time, whereas 45 W wired charging is typical. Android 15 and 7 years of updates extend its supported life. With a NeoScore of 8.8, it ranks among the best phones of its time. Its price is above most of them and is somewhat expensive for what it is.
