Galaxy S25 Ultra
Samsung's flagship with Snapdragon 8 Elite, titanium frame, and 200MP camera system.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is Samsung's most polished flagship yet. The titanium frame feels incredibly premium, and the flat display finally makes S Pen usage practical without annoying palm touches.
Snapdragon 8 Elite delivers blazing performance. In Geekbench 6, it scores 3,200 single-core and 10,000 multi-core — a 25% jump over the S24 Ultra. Gaming is flawless with no thermal throttling even after an hour of Genshin Impact.
The 200MP main camera is paired with improved AI processing. Daylight shots have incredible detail, and the new Nightography AI makes low-light photos look like they were taken in daylight. The 50MP ultrawide and 10MP 5x telephoto complete a versatile setup.
Battery life is solid at 14 hours of screen-on time. The 45W charging gets you to 65% in 30 minutes — competitive but not class-leading anymore. Samsung's commitment to 7 years of updates ensures this phone will last.
At $1,299, it's expensive but delivers the most complete Android experience. If you want the best, this is it.
