Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is essentially a completely new model that undoubtedly belongs to the best smartphones on the market. However, it has a few weaknesses that can be improved in the next generation, which is expected to be released next year. Here are a few things we expect from the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra when rumors start circulating before the anticipated release date in 2025.
Refreshed Design
It can’t be said that the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is an ugly phone (although its massive 6.8-inch frame may be an acquired taste). The truth is, this line hasn’t changed its aesthetic characteristics much since the Galaxy S21 Ultra in 2021. And the Galaxy S21 Ultra wasn’t far off from the first phone in the Ultra series – the S20. But we can forgive that since the camera module looked much neater back then.
Of course, phones can’t drastically differ in design from year to year, and in the meantime, Samsung has focused on developing an entirely new format from the Galaxy Z Fold line. However, it would be nice if the company shook up this pattern a bit in 2025.
Increased RAM
RAM is an area where Samsung strangely regressed in recent years. Both the S20 Ultra and S21 Ultra could be configured with a massive 16 GB RAM, but it was removed in 2022 with the S22 Ultra and has yet to make a comeback.
Of course, for now, there aren’t many applications that justify having 16 GB RAM in a smartphone (and even less so in 2020!), but it’s always better to be future-proof, especially when you’re paying a fortune for a phone. And related to that…
Competitive Price
Apart from models with foldable screens, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is one of the most expensive smartphones on the market, starting at a whopping $1,299.99. And if you opt for the 1 TB storage version instead of 256 GB, the price increases even further to $1,659.00 (Samsung doesn’t support memory cards in its flagship phones from the Galaxy S20 family).
Considering that a price drop is unlikely, we hope that at least it remains stable. The current price makes it difficult to justify choosing this model instead of more cost-effective offers from brands like OnePlus or Google, or even the more expensive Galaxy S24 Plus, which has many similar features but is slightly overpriced.
More Features for the S Pen
The inclusion of the S Pen with the S22 Ultra was a perfect move, creating a fully functional Galaxy Note in the best version of the Galaxy S. The ability to take out the S Pen and jot down notes or draw is a brilliant feature that many users wouldn’t want to give up.
In the Galaxy S24 Ultra, we can even pair the S Pen with the “Circle to Search” feature to quickly search for specific elements or text within an image using artificial intelligence. We would like to see more innovations related to the S Pen to make it an indispensable accessory with long-term utility, not just in the beginning.
Improved Photography with Larger Optical Zoom
The most controversial design choice for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra was replacing the 10x optical zoom with an entirely new 5x optical zoom. Yes, this 5x zoom had a significantly larger number of megapixels (50 instead of 10), allowing for a solid optical zoom quality close to that of a 10x zoom. But it’s not the same. It also meant losing a valuable selling point – the 10x optical zoom was unique, while the 5x zoom is less exceptional.
We would like to see the return of the 10x zoom, but with an improved sensor and a higher number of megapixels. One rumor suggests that there might be a variable optical zoom sensor that can switch between different focal lengths, which would increase flexibility. This would allow for the return of the 10x zoom. Fingers crossed!
