With December nearly halfway through, there are only a few weeks left until January—the month Samsung, as per reports, is expected to unveil its highly anticipated Galaxy S25 Ultra, and the standard Galaxy S25 range of smartphones. Ahead of release, numerous leaks have already surfaced, particularly around the S25 Ultra, giving us a clear idea of what to expect from Samsung’s next flagship. However, some details remain under wraps, fuelling speculation about what might be in store. While many aspects of the S25 Ultra have been teased, there are areas where improvements could be made, particularly when compared to the S24 Ultra. Here, we list five features the S25 Ultra should bring to the table, refining the overall experience.
1. Better Haptics
Don’t get us wrong—the Samsung S24 Ultra has good haptics. But when you compare it to devices like the iPhone 16 Pro or Android phones like the Google Pixel 9 Pro, even the standard Pixel 9, the haptics on the S24 Ultra can feel a bit inferior. They just don’t have that solid, premium feeling of some other phones. We have seen even brands like Xiaomi improve haptics to the extent that they now feel very premium. So, with the S25 Ultra, we would like Samsung to offer better haptics—ones that feel more tactile and solid.
2. Support for Log Video Recording
Samsung has iteratively improved the video performance of its main cameras over the years, and the S24 Ultra did offer a great video shooting experience, especially thanks to its versatility and the ability to record in 4K 120 FPS. However, one key feature was missing: the ability to record in Log, just like the iPhones and some other Android phones like the Xiaomi 14 Ultra and the Xiaomi 15 series. We are hoping Samsung finally brings this feature to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, making it a better match for the iPhone 16 Pro.
