Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, first images and price increase

The date is getting closer and closer and, logically, various details are emerging about Samsung’s 2025 flagship phone, its Galaxy S25 Ultra, which was seen as a mannequin in the first images. In addition, we have details about its possible price, and although there is no exact figure at the moment, it seems that it will be much more expensiveso let’s see the reasons for all this.

This isn’t really Samsung’s fault, but rather something that has been a trend in the increasingly elite sector for years: rising component prices. In this case, the “culprit” is
Qualcomm

which is asking a very large amount of money for its latest SoC.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: first images confirm previous leaks

Let’s go ahead and say that we are talking about two dummies, that is, models based on the real and final design that Galaxy S25 Ultra, and that doesn’t make them any less interesting images. What can be seen is exactly everything we have talked about so far about the terminal, so the leaks were indeed true and the design, although continuous, will have slightly different edges and slightly modified cameras.

In size and proportion we are faced with what it seems
slightly narrower terminal and a few millimeters shorter in length, more compact, with better proportions and perhaps a larger percentage of the screen, if the information that reached us at the time is correct.

The only bad thing about the design is that it does look similar to the S24 Ultra, it’s extremely similar, very much in tune with what Apple did with the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16, a far cry from the changes Google implemented on its Pixel. 9 and its variants.

Anyway, not a very new design, giving way to the second leak, this one, yes, very negative.

The price will rise, and a lot, until it exceeds the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Once again the information comes from China, which goes hand in hand with what we are already seeing in the market for the latest generation and performance phones, where Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite shares a SoC with the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

And the source claims that the production cost of Samsung’s newest terminal is at least $110 more than the S24 Ultra. Knowing this, and the fact that the terminal currently on sale hit the market earlier this year with a suggested retail price of $1,299, we might expect the price to be higher than the retail price. 1400 dollars.

At least, because in fact all phones that implement Qualcomm SoC have become even more expensive. Actually from China itself They say it will be around $1,500.which would make it a more expensive option than the iPhone 16 Pro Max itself. Hence the rumors that appeared several months ago about a reduction in the price of Samsung, which at the moment we do not know whether it will be such or not.

Likewise, based on the attached images and data, it seems clear that this Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra it will not be cheaper than its predecessorso if we see it at a price very similar to the S24 Ultra, we’ll be happy.
