What’s next after One UI 7 Beta? Galaxy S25 Ultra and One UI 7.1 awaits!

Published

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra

As a true fan of Samsung gadgets and a tester of the One UI custom skin, I am excited to share my insights on the latest developments. The release of the One UI 7 beta has been a significant step, offering a brief look into the future of Samsung’s user interface.

I am getting more and more excited as we look forward to what’s coming with the Galaxy S25 Ultra and the much-anticipated One UI 7.1, rumored to launch in January 2025.

In the One UI 7 beta, we have seen refined user experience, smoother animations, a new look for the home and lock screens, and enhanced AI functionalities.

Personally, I like the intuitive AI writing tools, which promise to make everyday tasks on the phone more seamless. The call transcripts are a huge deal for someone like me who speaks multiple languages, especially since it is now available in 20 different languages.

In the One UI 7 beta, we have seen new widgets, a refined home screen, and a smart notification center. But with the full release, I am expecting even more. We will likely see an improved ‘Now Bar’, which could redefine how we interact with our devices daily. The camera UI is also improving, which could mean even more powerful photography tools for everyone.

What’s more for us? The Galaxy S25 Ultra and One UI 7.1 are the next big thing to wait. Rumors suggest we will see a design change with rounded corners for a better feel, a flat display, and possibly some of the smoothest animations, thanks to the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. The camera setup is expected to keep its 200MP primary sensor, possibly with enhanced AI zoom capabilities.

Battery life has always been a key concern for smartphone users, and with the S25 Ultra’s 5000mAh battery, there’s a chance for significant improvements, especially considering the rumored 45W wired and 25W wireless charging speeds.

I’m excited not just by the hardware or software alone, but by how they work together to make everything easier and more user-friendly.

The Galaxy AI features like Sketch to Image and Live Effects show Samsung not just following trends but setting new ones. There will be more unique features in One UI 7.1, and an optimized OS with the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

As a long-time Samsung enthusiast, I am looking forward to the Galaxy S25 Ultra and One UI 7.1 not just for the gadgets, but for how they will change how we use technology.

Stay tuned to SammyFans.com for all the latest updates as we approach this exciting launch.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: Here are the 5 biggest changes over S24 Ultra

Published

on

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is the most awaited phone after the iPhone 16 Pro Max debut. Consumers are waiting to witness Samsung’s technological innovations while Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is already rumored to bring 5 biggest changes.

A new processor, enhanced display, refined design, upgraded ultrawide camera and more RAM are the 5 biggest changes rumored to feature in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Most of the rumors will come true as given arrival from credible sources.

Here are the five biggest changes:

1. Overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite

Back in October, Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Samsung will indeed use the latest processor in the Galaxy S25 Ultra, scheduled for a January 2025 launch.

This year’s Snapdragon chip brings Qualcomm Oryon CPU as well as enhanced GPU and NPU. The fabrication process has also improved as compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy.

Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to be shipped with an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. In early benchmark tests, the flagship performed stunningly well, rivaling the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

2. New design philosophy

Samsung switched to a Note-like boxy design in the Galaxy S series, starting with the S22 Ultra. Galaxy S21 Ultra was the last S Ultra model that featured rounded corners like its predecessors.

After three generations, Samsung is abandoning the sharp corner design approach. Well, it doesn’t mean that the S25 Ultra is bringing rounded corners that we’ve seen in the S21 Ultra.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to maintain the design elegance of the S24 Ultra. The frame corners will be slightly rounded in order to quash the sharper ones for better handling.

As seen in the renders, dummy units, and alleged hands-on video, the S25 Ultra is flat from the screen size, while the frame joins the back panel with minimal edges to feel soft in hand.

3. Enhanced OLED with M13+ material set

Samsung’s S24 Ultra reported having grainy display issues. Early buyers of the device observed grainy textured colors on the OLED, which affects the screen visibility.

It features OLED with an M13 material set, and it’s rumored that the S25 Ultra won’t get M14 OLED. Recent rumors suggest that the enhanced M13 + may be used in the S25 Ultra.

Samsung is said to have fixed grainy display issues in the panels to be used in the S25 Ultra. It will be a significant upgrade that will eliminate a weird hardware problem on the Samsung flagship.

4. 50-megapixel Ultrawide camera

Galaxy S25 Ultra could disappoint you if you are waiting for a zoom camera upgrade. Samsung is said to have installed a new ultrawide sensor in the next Ultra flagship, skipping the Telephoto.

While the 3x Telephoto deserves to be upgraded, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumored to be equipped with a new 50-megapixel ultrawide using the Samsung ISOCELL JN3 sensor, with 0.7um pixel size.

The S24 Ultra replaced S24 Ultra’s 10MP 10x telephoto with a new 50MP 5x solution. However, the S25 Ultra’s 3x telephoto may remain the same as the S24 Ultra, S23 Ultra, S22 Ultra and S21 Ultra.

5. More RAM

12Gb is the maximum RAM available on this year’s S24 Ultra. As Samsung targets AI Phone lead, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to get a significant upgrade, in terms of RAM configuration.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumored to be available in 12Gb and 16Gb RAM options. While the exact configuration is a mystery, the 1Tb storage model may be paired with 16Gb RAM.

12Gb is still a decent RAM installation on Samsung’s flagship, but an even larger option would result in faster processing, a reliable gaming experience, and seamless multitasking.

Galaxy S25 Ultra Launch – What we know

Samsung is rumored to unveil the Galaxy S25 series in late January next year. The company may officially announce the Unpacked in early to mid-January. However, the release could start in the first week of February.

A price hike is rumored on all models due to the increased costs of the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Samsung is trying hard to freeze the price, with cost-cutting visible in terms of display and camera image sensor configuration.

Check out the rumored specs table and price…
