The Galaxy S25 has a 6.2-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED display, which delivers clear, vibrant visuals, and although brightness levels are similar to last year's models, it still shines brightly enough to maintain crisp detail in various lighting conditions. The lower brightness level is especially useful for comfortable viewing in dark settings.

Powered by the custom Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset, the S25 Ultra offers 12GB RAM and up to 1TB storage.

Whether Galaxy AI remains free for six months or until the end of 2025, Samsung will eventually charge for the service. I’m not comfortable not having clear guidance on what features will be missing from my $1,300 Galaxy S25 Ultra in a few months, and I’m not alone. Samsung has a Galaxy AI problem, and it’s about to become our problem.
