The South Korean manufacturer’s three latest flagship phones have been officially introduced, but apart from the processor, only the Ultra model has seen any significant improvements, and many of the software-based, artificial intelligence-based innovations are still not available in many parts of the world, including Pakistan.
If someone were to ask why mobile manufacturers were among the first to offer all kinds of – of course, revolutionary – artificial intelligence functions with their latest devices, I would answer: because they have to sell the smartphone series that come out with new models every year, and on the hardware front, it is increasingly difficult to push the limits achieved in recent years.
A perfect example of this is the Samsung Galaxy S25 product line, which, like in previous years, was presented by the South Korean manufacturer at the very beginning of the year, on January 22, 2025, but the official Samsung phone price in pakistan, for the Ultra model was unveiled today.
As usual, three models will be available Worldwide:
- the standard Galaxy S25,
- the Galaxy S25+, which comes with a slightly larger screen,
- and the absolute top model Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
The previously much-rumored S25 Slim variant , which will eventually be officially named Galaxy S25 Edge, is likely to be released sometime later this year – it is not yet clear where, in which countries or regions.
Listed below are the most important technical specifications of all three S25 smartphones debuting in February, and anyone familiar with the previous models can immediately see that when it comes to hardware, Samsung didn’t really push itself to show anything new in 2025.
If someone can’t remember last year’s details, it’s worth highlighting: the most significant change in the specifications of the Galaxy S25 and S25+ models is that the processor is now Snapdragon 8 Elite. In addition, the company has modified the housings so much that both phones have become (imperceptibly) smaller and their weight has decreased by 4-5 grams – but you have to be a person who can distinguish last year’s phones from this year’s at first glance.
The screen, battery capacity and charging speed are unchanged, and the front and rear cameras are exactly the same as last year. The latter is especially unpleasant in light of the fact that our article from last year also included the same statement , so Samsung has not changed the rear camera lineup of its two smaller flagship phones for two years. In the case of the regular Galaxy S25, however, there is a minimal improvement in that it now also has 12 gigabytes of memory (instead of last year’s 8). It is also important that this year the S25 and S25+ are compatible with the Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 standards – but this is the end of the hardware changes.
Samsung Galaxy S25: can only be distinguished from last year’s model by its colors.
Of course, hardware is not everything, software is also important, the phones offer the biggest innovations in this area, as these are the first Samsung mobiles to be released with the Android 15 operating system and the OneUI 7 interface. This means an updated look, new handling methods and solutions, and as a bonus, previously unseen artificial intelligence-based functions.
However, the power of the novelty is somewhat tempered by the fact that Android 15/OneUI 7 will arrive on many previous mobiles this year, and some of the new features debuting with the Galaxy S25 series still have the same problem as last year’s – the lack of Urdu language support. The company’s domestic officials are no longer even speculating about when a change in this area can be expected. If at all.
Of course, you will be able to talk in Urdu with Gemini, developed by Google (as on many other top phones), but our smart home, for example, can only be controlled by it in English (and other supported languages), and the manufacturer’s self-developed Bixby voice-based solutions (such as controlling certain phone functions with spoken words) also do not work in Pakistan.
There are, of course, some new features that are not language-based, such as the newly debuted soundtrack editor. The essence of this is that artificial intelligence recognizes and places different noise sources (ambient noises, crowds in the background, wind, etc.) in separate soundtracks during videos, which can then be modified to our liking afterwards – for example, we can reduce their volume. It is also nice that night shots are also improved by analyzing the image and AI improving the noise caused by poor lighting conditions – so sharper videos can be made at night than before. Such features also stand out nicely in mid-rangers like Galaxy A34, where features and affordability make the Samsung Galaxy A34 price a key factor.
It may also be good news for many that the LOG format is now available for motion pictures, which can be edited directly on phones.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is the one with the most innovations
If we compare the specification lists of the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the Galaxy S25 Ultra, we won’t find any crazy differences here either, but it is a fact that with this model the manufacturer was a little more careful not to sell the same thing as last year.
This is also evident in the design: the Ultra has the rounder shapes of its smaller siblings, the display is now completely flat, there is also some slimmer design, and the mobile has also lost a little excess weight. The size of the bezels has also been reduced by 15 percent, so the display is no longer 6.8 but 6.9 inches, while the panel has not changed compared to last year. The glass protecting the display is not the same, which this year is Gorilla Glass Armor.
Of course, here too, the Snapdragon 8 Elite optimized for Galaxy devices (theoretically operating at a higher clock speed than the “plain” versions) ticks under the hood, but there are no changes in terms of memory (12 gigabytes) and storage (256 and 512 gigabytes, respectively 1 terabyte), and Samsung did not feel that it needed to change the battery or charging compared to last year. However, there is some progress regarding the rear camera island, as instead of the 12-megapixel wide-angle module, we now get a 50-megapixel ultra-wide unit – and that’s it.
It’s also worth knowing that Samsung not only gives, but also takes away: the stylus that can be removed from the case is no longer able to communicate with the phone via Bluetooth, eliminating the possibility of remote control.
According to the company, the reason for this is that a minimal percentage of users used this feature.
The stylus is there but have lost some features.
On the software front, of course, all the new features are included, such as Android 15 and the OneUI 7 interface, but the Galaxy S25+ and Ultra models have a feature that the cheapest model does not have, for the reference you can see Infinix price in Pakistan. The all new Galaxy phones have received an AI-based upscaling technology (Professional Upscaling) for the screen, similar to what is available on Samsung smart TVs: the software can “adjust” the resolution of the content being played (be it an image, video, software, or game) to the resolution of the display, so in theory everything will look equally good on the display.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 product line will be available for pre-order in Pakistan from January 29, 2025, and will be available at store shelves in February’s first week, and it is worth adding to the above that the manufacturer now guarantees 7 years of software updates, which applies to both major Android versions and security patches.
This means that the phones mentioned in the article will also receive Android 22 and will receive patch packages until 2032.
It is also worth noting that when pre-ordering, the company provides, among other things, twice the storage space for the selected device than the user originally chooses, and every Galaxy S25 device comes with six months of Gemini Advanced usage and 2 terabytes of cloud storage.
