The rear camera array represents the only other notable hardware difference between S25 Ultra and S24 Ultra. Namely, the ultrawide lens has been upgraded from 12MP a year ago to 50MP this year. Aside from that, everything else is the same: a 200MP wide lens, 50MP telephoto lens, and 12MP selfie camera.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is an AI phone through and through, for better or worse. At a starting price of $1,300, does it still deserve a spot in your pocket?

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra features the same 200MP main sensor as the S24 Ultra and S23 Ultra flagships from previous years. The 1/1.3-inch sensor is smaller than the 1-inch sensors we’ve seen in phones by Xiaomi and Vivo. The benefits of a larger sensor include better low-light performance, a shallower depth of field, and a higher dynamic range.
