About Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra 5G

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra 5G presents a sleek slate that measures 77.6 mm wide, 162.8 mm tall and just 8.2 mm thick, fitting comfortably in the hand at 218 grams. Its front is dominated by a 6.86‑inch Color AM‑OLED panel that delivers a sharp 1440 by 3120 pixel resolution, offering vivid colors and deep contrast for everything from streaming video to detailed graphics. The device keeps things simple with a single SIM slot, letting users focus on one line of service without the complexity of dual‑card management.

Inside, the phone runs Google Android 15, branded as Vanilla Ice Cream, and is powered by 12 GiB of RAM, ensuring smooth multitasking and responsive app performance. A 5000 mAh battery sits at the core, providing ample endurance for a full day of use, while wired charging tops up the cell at a steady 15 watts. As its name suggests, the handset supports 5G connectivity, letting users tap into the latest network speeds wherever coverage is available.

This variant

This variant adds TD‑LTE carrier aggregation and explicitly lists 512 GB of internal storage, details that the base model description does not mention.

Among the SM‑S938W TD‑LTE CA models, it represents the middle‑tier storage option, positioned between the 256 GB and 1 TB siblings. Compared to other regional variants such as the SM‑S938B Global, SM‑S9380 Dual SIM CN HK TW, SM‑S938Z/J/D/N/Q models, it retains a single SIM slot and TD‑LTE CA support while many of those alternatives offer dual‑SIM configurations or lack the carrier‑aggregation feature.
