All Galaxy S Ultra models
The Galaxy S25 Ultra: Future-proof and unprecedented speed
Do you simply want the fastest smartphone around? The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is the cream of the crop. With the latest chipset (even more powerful than its predecessors) and a refined Galaxy AI system that's more mature than ever, you'll be ready for years to come.
The body is sleeker, the edges thinner and the camera software has been optimised to capture videos without any noise. This is not a phone for the average user; this is a pocket computer for power-users and content creators.
Smart choice: S24 Ultra & S23 Ultra
The technological leaps are getting smaller every year. That's good news for you, because that makes the Galaxy S24 Ultra and even the S23 Ultra insanely interesting options.
- S24 Ultra: Also already has the titanium body and flat screen bezels of the S25. The AI features are largely the same. You quickly save hundreds of euros here compared to the latest model.
- S23 Ultra: The undisputed 'value-king' of the moment. You still get the 200MP main camera, an insane zoom range and excellent performance, but at a price that is now sinking towards the mid-range (€707.99 instead of almost €1000).
The power of the S Pen and 200MP camera
What makes all Ultra models (from the S22 onwards) unique in this list is the integrated S Pen. It lets you take notes on a disabled screen, edit photos down to the pixel or use it as a remote control for your camera.
Speaking of cameras, from the S23 Ultra, you have a 200-megapixel main camera. This means you can crop photos afterwards without losing detail. Ideal if you want to capture that one detail in the distance razor-sharp.
Which Ultra suits you?
Still in doubt? Use this quick decision aid:
- The "Early Adopter": Want guaranteed updates well into the 30s and the fastest processor for heavy gaming? Choose the S25 Ultra.
- The Price/Quality Seeker: Want titanium and good zoom, but don't want to pay top price? The S24 Ultra is your balancing model.
- The Bargain Hunter: Want a high-end experience, a 200MP camera and that nifty stylus, but think €900+ is too hefty? The S23 Ultra is currently the best buy in this list.
- Budget High-End: The S22 Ultra and S21 Ultra are still capable, but note that software support stops earlier here. Choose these only on an extremely competitive deal (under €600).
