#Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

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. The Galaxy S26 Ultra upgrades this to a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 "again for Galaxy", bringing better efficiency, stronger GPU performance, and a more powerful NPU that’s designed to handle on‑device AI workloads. On top of that, Samsung layers in upgraded AI‑powered zoom and a more capable Photo Assist system on the S26 Ultra, letting you apply more advanced, natural‑language edits and refinements directly from the gallery without offloading to a PC. 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.
