As two of the top smartphone manufacturers in terms of global shipments, every move made by Apple and Samsung often becomes a hot topic of discussion.

As Samsung's top flagship straight-panel model with the highest market positioning in recent years, the Ultra version of the Galaxy S series has incorporated many features from the previous Galaxy Note series, resulting in even more outstanding product performance that has attracted the attention of many consumers. With the gradual exposure of a large amount of relevant information about the new model, Galaxy S25 Ultra, recent sources have revealed that this model is expected to undergo further upgrades in terms of both appearance and hardware configuration.

It is reported that Samsung has finalized the designs for the three models in the Galaxy S25 series. Among them, the Galaxy S25 Ultra will adopt an asymmetric bezel design to improve grip comfort. According to sources, the rear panel's side bezel will be more rounded, which is conducive to one-handed grip, while the front bezel will be straighter. Additionally, this design may potentially make the phone's bezel appear narrower, although it is unclear how Samsung will achieve this. Notably, the overall width of the Galaxy S25 Ultra will remain the same as the previous generation, but the side bezels will be narrower.

Mingmei Infinity notes that this news partially confirms rumors about design changes for the new model that surfaced at the end of June this year. At that time, it was reported that Samsung would address the grip issues with the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The Galaxy S24 Ultra boasts a 6.8-inch large screen, but its sharp corners made it less comfortable to hold, giving the impression of being larger than other smartphones of the same size.

Moreover, the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, which is expected to debut early next year, has garnered market attention, particularly for the S25 Ultra, dubbed the 'king of Android phones,' and its camera configuration.

According to the latest data, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will be equipped with two brand-new image sensors, optimized for ultra-wide-angle and telephoto photography, to provide a higher-quality photography experience.

It is reported that the S25 Ultra's ultra-wide-angle lens will adopt a 1/2.76-inch Samsung S5KJN1 sensor, which will be upgraded to 50 megapixels, offering users a wider and more detailed field of view.

The secondary telephoto lens will be equipped with an ISOCELL sensor slightly larger than the existing 1/3-inch size, enhancing its light-sensing capabilities compared to the previous generation's 1/3.52-inch sensor.

According to public data, Samsung's ISOCELL HP2 was released in January 2023, featuring 200 megapixels, a 1/1.3-inch light-sensing unit, 0.6-micron pixel size, and support for 16-in-1 pixel binning.

Samsung remains committed to promoting its own sensors and is the only mobile phone manufacturer using a 200-megapixel main camera in its top-tier imaging flagship models.

Furthermore, the latest rumors suggest that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be equipped with 16GB of RAM, which may not be limited to the Ultra version but may become standard across the entire S25 series.

In the Galaxy S20 series, Samsung offered 12GB of RAM across all models, but this was downgraded to 8GB in the S21 series. It wasn't until the S24 series that Samsung increased the RAM back to 12GB. The upgrade to 16GB RAM in the S25 series represents a significant leap forward from previous generations and a responsive move to market trends.

With 16GB of RAM, Samsung's phones will keep pace with hardware specifications, satisfying consumers' demand for high-performance devices while also bolstering Samsung's competitive position in the Chinese market.

In terms of battery life, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will be equipped with a battery ranging from 5000mAh to 5500mAh, supporting 65W wired fast charging, as well as 25W wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. This configuration ensures ample battery life even during extended use, while fast charging technology allows for rapid recharge.

Additionally, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will run on Android 15-based One UI 7.1, facilitating deeper AI integration. It is said to include Google's Gemini Nano and Samsung's Gaussian language model, offering users a smarter and more convenient experience.

Samsung remains confident in its future Galaxy AI plans, aiming to enhance device capabilities by strengthening partnerships, collaboration, and further developing AI technology to enable devices to understand conversational contexts and provide more natural interactions.

Lastly, the Samsung S25 Ultra boasts significant improvements in design, performance, and camera systems, making it a promising contender for the title of 'king of phones.'
