The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is likely to live up to its name as a top-tier smartphone, but will it also be packed full of new and improved features?

Based on the tips and rumors we've heard so far, we’re expecting a bit of a mix here – with some major improvements and some things staying much the same as on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.

But it’s those new and improved things that we’re focused on in this article, so below, you’ll find the most substantial upgrades we’re expecting from the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.

More megapixels for your widest shots

The camera setup on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is already superb, but the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra’s camera system could be even better, with multiple rumors suggesting this phone will have a new 50MP ultra-wide camera.

That would be a big jump in megapixels, as the current model has just a 12MP ultra-wide camera, so this change could lead to dramatically more detailed ultra-wide shots.

That will come in handy whenever you want to fit a lot into an image, and will hopefully bring this snapper more in line with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra’s main camera.

Extra RAM for AI
