The Galaxy S25 Ultra is expensive, but it's also good at everything, even if its cameras and battery life can't quite beat some of the best alternatives

The rear camera array represents the only other notable hardware difference between S25 Ultra and S24 Ultra. Namely, the ultrawide lens has been upgraded from 12MP a year ago to 50MP this year. Aside from that, everything else is the same: a 200MP wide lens, 50MP telephoto lens, and 12MP selfie camera.
