Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra hands-on: Faster, curvier and way more... AI-ier

For the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Samsung has tweaked its design, added a new 50-MP ultra-wide sensor and focused even more on the phone's AI capabilities.

And while the new S25 Ultra is a bit faster, a little curvier and has a slightly bigger display than before, it’s clear the company’s primary focus was upgrading the software and machine learning capabilities of its top-spec flagship phone. Of course, as with so many other recent gadgets, the S25’s main focus is on expanded AI functionality and after introducing its first set of features on the S24 line last year, it feels like Samsung's goal was to make everything a bit more powerful and easier to use. Now when you tap the AI Select icon after pulling up Samsung's side bar, the phone will analyze whatever you’re looking at and provide an assortment of suggestions like taking a screenshot, performing a visual search, summarizing an article or even capturing a video clip and turning it into a GIF.
