Probably the biggest hardware enhancement Samsung added to the Galaxy S25 Ultra is the latest and greatest in Snapdragon processing, the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset. After a little bit of time using the phone, I can confirm everything feels very speedy and responsive.

We sat down with two senior Samsung staffers to talk about the Galaxy S25's new Galaxy AI features, how the phone juggles two different AI assistance, and how the new features will make your life easier and happier.

It is now more cost- effective to opt for the premium Galaxy S25 Ultra than any other Samsung smartphone. By combining all the available benefits, you can save over $1300 in instant savings, cashback, and trade-in value on a device that originally costs $1419 (for the 512GB version).
