Samsung has once again pushed the boundaries of smartphone technology with its Galaxy S25 Ultra. The device sets a new benchmark for premium smartphones with a sophisticated design, enhanced performance, and improved usability. The company recently revealed the thought process behind its design philosophy for the S25 Ultra.
Galaxy S25 Ultra: First impressions and packaging
The Galaxy S25 Ultra introduces a fresh approach to packaging, marking a departure from its predecessors. Instead of depicting the device directly, the new box design emphasizes a sleek silhouette, offering a minimalist yet premium feel. Sustainability remains a core focus, as the packaging is made entirely from 100% recycled paper materials.
Inside the box, users will find the Galaxy S25 Ultra, an S Pen, a USB-C cable, and a user manual. The S Pen, designed to match the device’s color, seamlessly integrates into the phone, maintaining a cohesive aesthetic while ensuring practical functionality. Of course, Samsung won’t tell you this, but the new S Pen lacks Bluetooth, meaning that it doesn’t support Air Actions.
A key highlight of the Galaxy S25 Ultra is its premium metallic finish, enhanced by an elegant interplay of light and color. The standout Titanium Silverblue hue shifts subtly between shades of gray and blue depending on the viewing angle, creating a dynamic and sophisticated appearance.
The standard colors include Titanium Silverblue, Titanium Black, Titanium Whitesilver, and Titanium Gray. Additionally, three exclusive colors — Titanium Jetblack, Titanium Jadegreen, and Titanium Pinkgold — are available only on Samsung.com.
A refined identity for the S Ultra lineup
One of the most noticeable changes in the Galaxy S25 Ultra is its design refinement. Moving away from the sharp edges of its predecessor, the new model features smoother, more rounded corners for an enhanced aesthetic and a more comfortable grip. The side frame has transitioned to a more angular design, improving both the phone’s durability and its overall sleekness.
Samsung says it engineered the Galaxy S25 Ultra to be lighter and more ergonomic. Weighing 218 grams and measuring 8.2mm thick, the device is 14 grams lighter and 0.4mm thinner than its predecessor. These refinements make the device more comfortable to hold and use for extended periods.
Samsung has also introduced subtle but meaningful upgrades to the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s camera design. The camera rings are now black, blending seamlessly with the lenses for a more polished appearance. The raised floating structure, along with thicker camera rings, enhances both durability and aesthetic appeal.
The phone’s display offers an unparalleled viewing experience, boasting a 6.9-inch Quad HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen. This marks a 0.1-inch increase over its predecessor, ensuring immersive clarity with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate for ultra-smooth transitions. The Galaxy S25 Ultra’s bezels have been reduced by 0.2mm, now measuring just 1.32mm — offering a more immersive screen experience.
The display is protected by Corning’s Gorilla Armor 2, a cutting-edge glass ceramic cover that enhances durability while introducing an industry-first anti-reflective feature for superior visibility indoors and outdoors. With its blend of refined aesthetics, enhanced durability, and cutting-edge AI-driven performance, the Galaxy S25 Ultra represents the pinnacle of Samsung’s innovation.
