Numerous leaks have already surfaced ahead of the release, especially surrounding the S25 Ultra, giving us a clear idea of ​​what to expect from Samsung's next flagship. However, some details remain secret, fueling speculation about what lies ahead.

1. Better haptics

Don't get us wrong: the Samsung S24 Ultra has good haptics. But when compared to devices like the iPhone 16 Pro or Android phones like the Google Pixel 9 Pro, even the standard Pixel 9, the S24 Ultra's haptics can feel a bit inferior. They just don't have that solid, premium feel of some other phones. We've even seen brands like Xiaomi improve the haptics to the extent that they now feel very premium. With the S25 Ultra, we would like Samsung to offer better haptics that feel more tactile and sturdy.

2. Support log video recording

Samsung has repeatedly improved the video performance of its main cameras over the years, and the S24 Ultra offered a great video recording experience, especially thanks to its versatility and ability to record in 4K 120 FPS. However, one key feature was missing: the ability to record in Log, just like with the iPhones and some other Android phones like the Xiaomi 14 Ultra and the Xiaomi 15 series. We hope Samsung finally brings this feature to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, making it a better match for the iPhone 16 Pro.

3. Better color science of the main camera and support for this iPhone 16 Pro feature

Speaking of cameras, the Samsung S24 Ultra has some of the most versatile cameras of any flagship right now, thanks to its quad-camera setup. While the camera is versatile, it could certainly benefit from better color science, especially with the wide-angle camera. Samsung's colors can still seem oversaturated at times, compared to devices like the Pixel 9 and the iPhone 16 Pro.

I hope Samsung listens and brings better color science. Another major addition that Samsung could bring is support for iPhone 16-like photographic styles. Based on our experience, Photographic Styles has transformed the experience of taking photos on iPhone 16 Pro, offering several pre-made styles for your photos, while also giving you the option to change the style or remove it completely after the photo has been taken. because Apple stores the data. If Samsung brings something similar, it would greatly improve the overall camera experience.

4. 16GB RAM

The Galaxy S24 Ultra features 12GB of RAM, but as 2024 draws to a close, we've seen phones like the Pixel 9 Pro come with 16GB as standard. Manufacturers have emphasized that more RAM improves performance, especially in artificial intelligence tasks. As Samsung is also doubling down on efforts to bring more AI features to Galaxy devices, having more RAM would definitely help future-proof the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Fortunately, several reports now claim that higher capacity variants, starting with the 512GB model, could indeed offer 16GB of RAM with the S25 Ultra.

5. Anti-reflective coating on the display

An important underestimated feature of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is the anti-glare screen. When compared to phones like the iPhone 16 Pro or the Pixel 9, the S24 Ultra holds its own and barely shows any reflection on the screen. This makes it easier to read in direct sunlight and helps prevent reflections from artificial light, thanks to the special coating. This makes the overall experience more immersive, with better contrast and just for a better display overall. We hope that Samsung will continue to offer this coating with the S25 Ultra.
