MKBHD's Take on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: Evolution or Stagnation?
In his recent video, Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) provides an in-depth analysis of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, highlighting both its advancements and areas where it falls short.
Design and Build
MKBHD notes that the Galaxy S25 Ultra maintains a design reminiscent of its predecessors, with subtle refinements. The device features a flat display and slightly rounded corners, offering a familiar yet polished aesthetic. The use of Gorilla Glass Armor 2 on both the front and back enhances durability, providing better drop resistance.
Display
The S25 Ultra boasts a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, delivering vibrant colors and smooth visuals. MKBHD praises the display quality, emphasizing its brightness and color accuracy, which make for an exceptional viewing experience.
Performance
Equipped with the exclusive Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, the Galaxy S25 Ultra offers a higher-clocked CPU, resulting in faster performance. MKBHD highlights the device's ability to handle multitasking and demanding applications with ease, noting a noticeable improvement over previous models.
Camera System
The camera setup sees incremental upgrades, with the most notable being a new 50MP ultrawide sensor. While the primary and telephoto lenses remain similar to the S24 Ultra, MKBHD points out that the software enhancements, particularly in AI-driven image processing, contribute to improved photo quality.
AI and Software Features
Samsung has introduced several AI-powered features in the S25 Ultra. MKBHD discusses the "Writing Assist" tool, which aids in proofreading and tone adjustment across various apps, and the "Audio Eraser," designed to remove background noise from videos. He appreciates these additions, noting their practical applications in daily use.
Battery Life
The device houses a 5,000mAh battery, similar to its predecessor. MKBHD observes that, despite the enhanced performance and features, the battery life remains consistent, comfortably lasting a full day under moderate to heavy usage.
Conclusion
MKBHD concludes that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is a solid iteration in the Galaxy lineup, offering meaningful enhancements in performance, AI capabilities, and camera functionality. However, he also expresses a desire for more revolutionary changes in future models, suggesting that while the S25 Ultra is impressive, it feels more like a refinement than a groundbreaking upgrade.
