Samsung has launched the Galaxy S25 series with very few changes compared to their predecessors, at least when it comes to hardware. The base and plus models are almost the same as the S24 models with the biggest difference in appearance being the new color options. But this isn’t the case for the Ultra model. While it’s also very similar to its predecessor, it has one meaningful change: the rounded corners.
Galaxy S25 Ultra is much more comfortable to hold than its predecessor
It’s been over a year since the release of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, and we’re still seeing people complaining about the sharp corners of the S24 Ultra. In the latest news, Reddit user partyhat-red shared an image showing how the sharp corner of his Galaxy S24 Ultra ripped through his pocket. While this isn’t a widespread issue, it goes to show how the phone might feel in hand sometimes, especially considering the 233 g weight of the device.
Thankfully, Samsung has not only shifted to rounded corners but also managed to make the device slightly lighter than its predecessor – 218 g down from 233 g – which also makes it a bit more comfortable to use.
The phone packs the same capacity (5000mAh) battery as last year and it does not include silicon in its name. But apparently, Samsung has optimized the resource utilization, which paired with the new and more efficient Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, results into a significant improvement in battery life. Not to mention, the raw performance capability has also improved even though it doesn’t look much different from the outside.
For those considering a Galaxy flagship in 2025, the redesign has to be one of the biggest pros of this year’s model. However, purchasing the S24 Ultra still makes sense if there is a considerable difference in the price tag. For example, the 12GB+256GB version is currently available on Amazon India for only Rs 99,399, instead of Rs 1,29,999 of the same configuration of its successor.
