Galaxy S25 Ultra

Galaxy S25 Ultra: build and the choice of accessories

The Galaxy S25 Ultra has a flat 6.9-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate. The front is protected by Gorilla Armor 2 with an anti-reflective coating, the back by Gorilla Glass Victus 2, and the frame is made of titanium. The body measures 162.8 × 77.6 × 8.2 mm and weighs 218 g. Compared with the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the corners are noticeably more rounded, so cases for the predecessor do not fit. The phone is rated IP68 and supports 45 W wired charging and 15 W wireless charging compatible with Qi2 Ready. The S Pen stows inside the body, but on this model it has no Bluetooth connectivity.

Cases for the Galaxy S25 Ultra

In the Galaxy S25 Ultra cases category you will find several types of cover:

• cases with a magnetic ring: let you use magnetic chargers and mounts,
• rugged cases: with reinforced corners and a higher lip over the screen and cameras,
• cases with a finger ring or kickstand: handy for watching videos,
• flip and wallet cases: with room for cards,
• clear and leather cases: including licensed Guess and Karl Lagerfeld designs.

All of them have a cut-out at the S Pen slot in the bottom edge.

Tempered glass, hybrid glass and film for the Galaxy S25 Ultra

The flat screen makes protection easy to fit, but there are two things to keep in mind. First, any glass or film covers the factory anti-reflective coating, so the screen will reflect more light again unless you choose matte protection. Second, after applying it you need to register your fingerprint again.

• tempered glass for the Galaxy S25 Ultra: classic, tinted privacy or with a black frame,
• hybrid glass for the Galaxy S25 Ultra: thin and flexible,
• screen protector film for the Galaxy S25 Ultra: hydrogel, matte, privacy and antibacterial.

Camera protection

The lenses protrude individually from the back, so they are most often protected with separate rings or an overlay for the whole set; you will find them in the camera glass for the Galaxy S25 Ultra category.

Magnetic charging and the S Pen

The Qi2 Ready label means the phone supports magnetic charging, but the magnets have to come from the case. With a magnetic ring case, the Galaxy S25 Ultra works with magnetic chargers and magnetic power banks. The stylus works through glass and films without any extra settings; the loss of Bluetooth affects gestures and remote camera shutter control, not writing.

Frequently asked questions

Does a Galaxy S24 Ultra case fit the Galaxy S25 Ultra?

No. The Galaxy S25 Ultra has a larger screen, rounded corners and a different thickness, so accessories for the Galaxy S24 Ultra are not interchangeable.

Does a screen protector weaken the anti-reflective coating?

The coating stays intact under the glass, but its effect is lost, because light reflects off the surface of the protector. Matte films partly restore the effect.
