The Galaxy S25 Ultra is Samsung's new flagship with upgraded AI capabilities, making it a personal assistant. It also allows for easier removal of people from your background in photos.

During Samsung Unpacked 2025, we heard that the Galaxy S25 series phones have a "custom" (sort of) Qualcomm Snapdragon chip to power its features. That's pretty cool — we know Snapdragon chips perform well and we've seen what building an AI-tailored SoC allows in Google's Pixel phones.

The S25 Ultra and the 9 Pro XL are pretty much the same in terms of dimensions and weight, with minute differences. However, Samsung has managed to fit in a slightly bigger 6.9-inch display, whereas the 9 Pro XL comes with a 6.8-inch display. Both phones have an LTPO OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate.
