Incremental annual phone updates have become pretty normal, but even by modern industry standards, the latest Samsung flagship devices feel iterative.
The Galaxy S25 series was unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event this week with the promise of fancy hardware upgrades and useful new software features. That’s…not entirely what we got, though. At first blush, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is very similar to last year’s model. Its display specs are nearly identical, and the story is similar with its rear camera measurements. Aside from a new 50MP ultra-wide lens (and I don’t want to pretend like that’s nothing), little has changed.
After some brief hands-on testing with the Ultra, though, I’ve identified a couple of things that might make this phone worth a purchase, especially if you’re rocking a handset that’s getting up there in years.
