Key differences between Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S24 Ultra
Recently, Samsung unveiled its latest flagship smartphone lineup – the Galaxy S25 series. Out of these, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra may be the leading Android phone of 2025, but it doesn’t have as many upgrades as you would have expected compared to the existing Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphone. Here we discuss the key differences between the two devices.
Main differences between Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S24 Ultra
Design:
The Galaxy S25 Ultra comes with a flat display and gets rid of the Galaxy Note-like boxy design that the company has used for the Galaxy S Ultra models since 2022.
At the back, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has the same camera sensor design as the S24 Ultra, yet, the camera rings are thicker, and the lenses are housed in a slightly raised, metal or glass-like casing that blends seamlessly with the rear panel.
Display:
Galaxy S25 Ultra features durable titanium and new Corning Gorilla Armor 2, a first-of-its-kind material that is more durable than glass. In addition, it combines Corning’s glass-ceramic with a proprietary anti-reflective surface treatment, which helps ensure anti-reflection surface treatment and scratch resistance, as well as advanced drop protection.
Camera
The most prominent upgrade that the Galaxy S25 Ultra is getting is a 50-megapixel ultrawide snapper on the back which delivers clearer and sharpens pictures over the S24 Ultra’s 12MP Ultrawide camera. Also, the company has significantly improved nightography as well as added a new feature to capture better portraits at night with AI capabilities.
Processor
Apart from this, this year Samsung has launched only Snapdragon processor-based variants so that users in other countries do not have to compromise with low-performance chipsets. The phone has Snapdragon 8 Elite mobile platform which is specially designed for Galaxy. Plus, it comes with an improved vapor chamber for heat control.
Battery
In terms of battery, both Galaxy S Ultra series phones pack a massive 5000mAh battery with 45W fast charging. But, the latest Ultra battery efficiency is improved with the latest AP. Notable, the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s Wired charging compatible with Qi2 and AFCPD.
S Pen
The S Pen on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra does not support Bluetooth. Due to this change, potential buyers will have to compromise on some important features like remote control and Air Action.
Samsung began hyping its upcoming Galaxy S26 series key specs, including the display, battery, and other parameters. After the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 phones, Samsung seems to be working on the Galaxy S26 series. It looks like the device has already started surfing the internet. A new leak has shed light on the key specs of the Galaxy S26 series, including the display.
According to TheElec (via Jukanlosreve), Samsung is working on the three Galaxy S26 series models, including Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. Plus, the company may not release the Galaxy S26 Plus. Moreover, the reports shared new insights on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Series display panel shape.
…………….
As per the report, Samsung Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra may feature 6.27-inch, 6.66-inch, and 6.89-inch displays, respectively.

Samsung Camera Assistant is a module powered by the Good Lock app that improves the camera experience on Galaxy devices. The app allows users to customize various camera settings, such as adding a 2x zoom button, increasing the shutter speed, and adjusting other features of the main camera, and save videos directly to external storage. In One UI 8, Samsung has introduced new features to the Camera Assistant app to let you take Motion Photo with a shutter sound.
Samsung has pushed a new update for the Camera Assistant Good Lock module, which brings new features and One UI 8 support. Users can identify the latest update through version 4.0.00.1.
With this new update, Motion Photos will have a shutter sound, giving users more control and adding a fun touch to taking photos.
The update also brings One UI 8 software, which offers a more refined and intuitive user experience. Additionally, the Korean tech giant has expanded camera assistant compatibility to include its latest foldable devices, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7.
For your information, let us tell you that Samsung is regularly working to make the Good Lock module compatible with One UI 8. Samsung is now bringing One UI 8 support for the Camera Assistant app, after Multistar and Display Assistant.
Once the update is officially released, the Camera Assistant app will be available on all eligible Galaxy smartphones. Samsung continues to extend support for this app to select Galaxy devices. However, some features may not be available on all models due to differences in hardware and software.
Support model:
- One UI 8.0 or higher : Flip7/Fold7
- One UI 7.0 or higher : S25/A56/M56/F56
- One UI 6.1 or higher : S24FE/S21FE/A55/M53/Quantum5/Fold6/Flip6
- One UI 6.0 or higher : S24/A73/A72/A54/A53/A52s/A52 5G/A52/M54/F54/Quantum 2
- One UI 5.1 or higher : S23/S23FE/S22/S21/S20/Note20/Fold5/Flip5/Fold4/Flip4/Fold3/Flip3/Fold2/Flip
The company is expected to update more Good Lock modules and plugins soon to support One UI 8. So if you use other suites from Good Lock, keep an eye out for new software updates.
Samsung recently shared its revised software update plan for July 2025. Through this updated plan, Samsung has confirmed that three Galaxy devices, the Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Galaxy F52 5G, and Galaxy A22 5G are no longer eligible for software updates.
Now, Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Galaxy F52 5G, and Galaxy A22 5G have been removed from the Biannual plan in July 2025. It means that Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Galaxy F52 5G, and Galaxy A22 5G devices will no longer receive software updates as they have completed their update cycle.
The Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Galaxy F52 5G, and Galaxy A22 5G were released in 2021. Since then, these three Galaxy devices have received three major Android updates, along with regular security patches. Now, after several years of support, Samsung is officially ending updates for these Galaxy devices.
So, what does this mean for these phone and tablet users? First, don’t worry, because your tablet will still work. Even though the Korean tech giant will no longer send out new Android versions or monthly security updates, your device will still receive Google Play system updates. These updates help keep your Galaxy device secure and let you continue using important apps like banking, social media, and video streaming.
If you want the newest features and latest Android updates, you might want to upgrade to a newer Galaxy phone and tablet. You can check tablets from the Galaxy Tab A10 series, the Tab S9 series, or the Galaxy A56 5G. These new Galaxy devices offer better performance, new features, and longer support.
However, if your current devices are working well and you’re happy with them, there’s no need to upgrade right away. The Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Galaxy F52 5G, and Galaxy A22 5G can still handle basic tasks like browsing the web, watching videos, or using social media.
