About Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra presents a striking slate with dimensions of 77.6 by 162.8 by 8.2 millimeters and a weight of 218 grams, fitting comfortably in the hand while signaling its premium stance. At its front lies a 6.86‑inch Color AM‑OLED panel that delivers a sharp 1440x3120 pixel resolution, offering vivid colors and deep contrast for everything from media consumption to productivity tasks.

Under the surface, the device runs Google Android 15, dubbed Vanilla Ice Cream, and is equipped with 12 GiB of RAM to keep multitasking smooth and responsive. A 5000 mAh battery fuels the experience, replenishing through a 15 watt wired charger, while the phone maintains a single SIM slot for connectivity. These elements combine to shape a flagship that balances a large, high‑resolution display with solid performance and endurance.

This variant

This variant adds UW 5G TD‑LTE US network compatibility and ships with 256 GB of storage, while retaining the same dimensions, display, OS, RAM, battery and charging as the base Galaxy S25 Ultra. Unlike the other S25 Ultra UW 5G listings, it is the 256 GB model identified by the SM‑S938A suffix; the other 256 GB versions use SM‑S938U1, SM‑S938R4, SM‑S938V or SM‑S938T, and the higher‑capacity options offer 512 GB or 1 TB with various suffixes.
