Probably the biggest hardware enhancement Samsung added to the Galaxy S25 Ultra is the latest and greatest in Snapdragon processing, the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset. After a little bit of time using the phone, I can confirm everything feels very speedy and responsive.

Samsung has told us that it's working on a Galaxy S25 Edge, but we don't know much else about the phone. Here's what I'm hoping to figure out before the S25 Edge arrives.

It is now more cost- effective to opt for the premium Galaxy S25 Ultra than any other Samsung smartphone. By combining all the available benefits, you can save over $1300 in instant savings, cashback, and trade-in value on a device that originally costs $1419 (for the 512GB version).
