Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra reportedly brings an upgraded 50MP ultrawide camera. In the latest development, Samsung insider Ice Universe leaked key details about the new solution to be used in the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra.

According to the leak, Samsung fueling the Galaxy S25 Ultra with a new 50MP ultrawide camera. The sensor could feature a 50-megapixel resolution, with a 1/2.52″ size, 0.7µm pixel pitch, and a fast f/1.9 aperture.

S25 Ultra – A game changer loading?

The upgraded ultrawide camera in Galaxy S25 Ultra will deliver a substantial boost to ultra-wide photography. With higher resolution, the sensor will deliver unprecedented clarity and detail – a significant upgrade in the history of Ultra models.

Samsung’s next Ultra will replace the 12MP sensor used in the Galaxy S24 Ultra. As a result, ultra-wide shots will be sharper and more vibrant, capturing every nuance of expansive scenes. You can expect a major boost in the detail of your ultrawide shots.

In addition, the f/1.9 aperture will allow more light to enter the lens. It will result in more clear and bright images in low-light conditions. Your shots will have less blurriness and noise, resulting in crisper, more vivid ultra-wide shots.

Samsung will also use a 200-megapixel wide-angle sensor as the primary camera. These sensors will be deeply integrated with software and artificial intelligence. AI tricks to further improve quality should also be included in the S25 Ultra.

In addition, the same source previously revealed the 3x optical zoom sensor will also be upgraded. The current sensor used in the S24 Ultra has a 10MP resolution, whereas the S25 Ultra is said to come with 50MP Telephoto with 3x Optical Zoom.

Apple is launching the iPhone 16 series today. The company has expanded its periscope camera to the iPhone 16 Pro, which will push the bar of photography. Samsung must make significant innovations in the camera department to maintain an edge over its rivals.

Samsung One UI 7 is set to introduce new AI features for Galaxy phones. After the initial Galaxy AI arrival, Apple is bringing Apple Intelligence with iOS 18. Samsung has also introduced new AI features with new foldables to counter Apple’s entry into the segment.

Samsung One UI 7 Galaxy AI features wishlist

Galaxy AI brings both on-device AI and cloud-processing-based features. The latest frontier of Galaxy AI debuted on July 10 with the Galaxy Z6 series. Nevertheless, we are excited about more new and useful AI features with the 2025 iteration.

Enhanced on-device and cloud AI

Galaxy S24 and Z6 series powered by Gemini Nano AI model. Google is working on Gemini Nano v2 with more AI capabilities, power efficiency, and reliability. It would benefit smartphones equipping the new AI model developed by Google.

The mixed suite of AI features is beneficial in many ways. Consumers don’t need to worry about privacy with on-device AI features. At the same time, consumers get quite useful image and video editing tools as well as wallpaper generators through cloud-based AI.

OS-level writing tools

One UI 7 should follow Apple’s edge of system-wide writing tools. Galaxy’s next major Galaxy AI upgrade should introduce features like rewrite, proofread, and summarize that work across all apps. Upgraded writing assistance will surely help Galaxy users in their everyday tasks.

AI notifications

Notifications are the most important aspect of our smartphones. Whether it’s a phone call, text message, or social media interaction, the notification function is the key to all. Due to multiple apps and services, users often face a condition where arrangement becomes a tough task.

Apple Intelligence managed to address the problem with the Priority Notifications feature. Artificial intelligence learns the usage patterns and importance plus priority of notifications. Based on deep analysis, the OS displays priority notifications on top followed by others.

Image and video enhancement

One UI 6.1’s Photo Editor added many useful tools for pro-editing in less time. Many third-party AI-powered photo editing apps are loaded with cool features. Samsung should adopt such tools to offer an effortless editing experience on Galaxy devices.

Smart Circle to Search

Circle to Search is a great feature that debuted with the Galaxy S24 series. Samsung and Google expanded it to their flagship devices. Besides, Google is working to fulfill its commitment to installing Circle to Search on 200 million devices worldwide.

This functionality should be further optimized with system functions. The addition of the translate button is worth praising and we need Circle to Search to evolve further. Apple’s iPhones don’t have any feature similar or equivalent to Circle to Search.
