Recent rumours suggest that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra could be priced higher than the previous model. There are also ongoing speculations about its design featuring softer, more rounded corners than the sharp-angled S24 Ultra, with a new leak allegedly displaying dummy units of the S25 Ultra.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra retains its iconic camera layout, making it unmistakably a Samsung device even from a distance. Though the design features slightly rounded corners, they remain almost invisible, maintaining the phone’s Ultra identity.
Regarding its hardware, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, with debates on whether this will be a global or region-specific offering. It will boast a titanium frame and come in various colours including black, blue, grey, silver, blue/black, pink/silver, and Jade Green upon its anticipated launch in January.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra might have a higher price tag than its predecessor, the S24 Ultra, due to a straightforward factor. A recent rumour from China suggests that the cost to manufacture the S25 Ultra is at least $110 higher than that of the S24 Ultra.
The rumour further explains that manufacturers like Samsung focus on maintaining profit margins, implying that the additional cost in materials for the S25 Ultra will likely result in increased prices in most markets worldwide. However, in China, the price is expected to stay consistent due to intense market competition.
