#itel S25 Ultra review

Tagging along with the vanilla itel S25 is its higher-end sibling, the itel S25 Ultra. The itel S25 Ultra has a starting price of PHP 10,999. The launch date for the vanilla S25 is set on November 8th, while the S25 Ultra arrives on November 10th. Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra picks up right where last year’s S25 Ultra left off as the 2026 Ultra flagship, embracing an “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” philosophy, polishing the proven formula with steady, year-over-year improvements since the S22 Ultra era. The materials differ though: the S25 Ultra uses a titanium frame and Gorilla Glass Armor 2, while the S26 Ultra switches to Armor Aluminum with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and a more rounded body design. The Galaxy S25 Ultra runs on a Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy that is more than capable for gaming, content creation, and heavy multitasking. Battery capacity is unchanged at 5,000mAh on both the S25 Ultra and S26 Ultra, but charging speeds and thermals are where the newer model pulls ahead. The Galaxy S25 Ultra supports up to 45W wired Super Fast Charging, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra bumps this to 60W Super Fast Charging 3.0, cutting down charging times when you need a quick top‑up before heading out.
