Samsung has announced a big discount offer on its Galaxy S25 Ultra flagship phone, making the deal quite tempting for many. The company is giving a flat discount of Rs 12,000 on its latest Galaxy S25 Ultra model and there are no terms or conditions. This is great because the phone is hardly four months old and you will never really see such a big discount on a relatively new Ultra model. There is no mention of when the deal will expire, but it should last for at least a few days. The Galaxy S25 Ultra is listed on Amazon and with a starting price of Rs 1,17,999, which is down from its launch price of Rs 1,29,999. Its predecessor, the Galaxy S24 Ultra, is selling at Rs 85,499 on Flipkart. While 2025 Samsung flagship packs a lot of punch, is it even worth buying, especially when the Galaxy S24 Ultra is selling at a much lower price in India? Let's find Galaxy S25 Ultra gets flat Rs 12,000 discount, but is it worth buyingBefore talking about whether you should go for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra or its predecessor, let's first take a quick look at what both phones are able to offer of the major differences is in the performance department. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is using Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which is currently one of the most powerful chips for mobiles. The high graphically demanding games like Genshin Impact will run smoothly at High settings, and you can play at 45fps without any issues. Comparatively, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, which is powering the Galaxy S24 Ultra, can offer a similar experience at Medium graphics settings with 30fps. Those who care about benchmarks, the S24 Ultra scored 1.7 million on Antutu and 6,780 on Geekbench in its multi-score test. Comparatively, the S25 Ultra received a score of 2.2 million on Antutu and 10,105 on Geekbench. These results clearly show the performance difference between the two phones, something which was also visible in the gaming tests. Having said that, both the flagship phones from Samsung are able to manage thermals well, so there are no heating issues while playing games for extended The display experience is more or less the same on both the Samsung smartphones, with the S25 Ultra having a 1-inch bigger panel. It packs a 6.9-inch screen and the older variant packs a 6.8-inch display, with both of them having support for QHD+ resolution, 120Hz LTPO tech, and 2,600nits of peak brightness. The bezels seem slightly thinner on the new model, but there is also almost no difference between them. The new model has a 10-bit panel, which is slightly better than the 8-bit screen on the S24 Ultra because of a wider range of colours and more details in images. So, Samsung has done small refinements to make the experience even better, but the truth is that both offer a high-quality panel. They are bright and lively. The plus point is that the screens also have an anti-reflective coating for a better viewing experience in fully-lit environments like an devices also have a 5,000mAh battery, with minimal difference in terms of how long both the units last. This suggests that the Snapdragon 8 Elite is not draining the battery of the phone despite being more powerful than its predecessor. Hence, people who will buy the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be able to get more power out of it while playing your reference, the Snapdragon 8 Elite has faster prime and performance cores in comparison to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, which is being used by the S24 Ultra. The Elite chip has two prime Oryon cores with a peak clock speed of up to 4.32GHz, which is higher than the one prime Kryo core inside the 8 Gen 3, reaching a peak frequency of 3.4 GHz. The 6 performance cores of the Elite version are also faster with a peak clock speed of 3.53GHz, compared to the 5 cores of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC with a maximum 3.2GHz frequency. The older chip also has 2 efficiency cores with up to 2.3GHz. But these specs, benchmarks and the gameplay of Genshin Impact give a good idea of the performance difference between the two you can buy the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra if you want a solid gaming experience. But, if your budget is a little strict and you want to go with the S24 Ultra, it is still a very good option for gamers. Both phones will offer smooth general performance. However, one needs to keep in mind that Samsung doesn't bundle a fast charger in the retail box like other big brands. So, one will have to buy it separately for the best experience. Samsung has given support for 45W wired for the cameras, both phones offer a similar experience and specs. The only thing is that the new one has a better high-resolution ultra-wide camera sensor, but you can expect an exceptional experience with both of them. Lastly, the design of both phones is a little different. You get rounded corners and a modern boxy design with the S25 Ultra. The S24 Ultra has an iconic design with squarish corners and curved frames.

Buying a Galaxy S25? This carrier blows everyone else away
If you've been holding out on upgrading to one of the best phones, a new report offers another reason why you should consider a new handset, and it may be for a reason you haven't really considered — faster download and upload speeds. That's the conclusion that network testing firm Ookla reached after running network speed tests on the Galaxy S25 series, along with the last four generations of Samsung flagship. The takeaway? Today's Galaxy flagships deliver much faster connectivity, thanks to improvements in both the phones' chipsets and modems. And one U.S. network carrier in particular stood out for delivering the fastest speeds. The data from Ookla should be interesting to anyone mulling over a new Samsung phone purchase, whether it's the already available Galaxy S25 models or the upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge release. And it also offers a look at which phone carriers are providing faster 5G speeds right now. For its report, Ookla tested download and upload performance across the last five generations of Galaxy S phone, from the current Galaxy S25 Ultra, dating all the way back to the Galaxy S21 Ultra released in 2021. Tests were conducted on the networks of all three major U.S. carriers — AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon. When running Ookla's speed text, the Galaxy S21 Ultra's fastest download speed was 269.34 Mbps, which it reached on T-Mobile's 5G network. The Galaxy S25 Ultra posted a top speed of 442.69 Mbps on that same network — a 64% improvement over the four-year-old Ultra model. Even more recent releases lagged behind the Galaxy S25 Ultra, with the S23 Ultra and S24 Ultra posting respective download speeds of 334.22 Mbps and 358.7 Mbps on T-Mobile. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Ookla also tested upload speed numbers for its report, with the Galaxy S25 Ultra reaching speeds of 23.72 Mbps on T-Mobile's network. That's a 57% improvement over the Galaxy S21 Ultra's 15.08 Mbps result. The Galaxy S25 Ultra improved upon the S24 Ultra upload speeds by 23%. The Galaxy S25 models benefit from Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite system-on-chip, which has been optimized specifically for Samsung's phones with a faster core CPU. But that chipset also comes with Qualcomm's Snapdragon X80 5G modem for fast connectivity. Even though all three Galaxy S25 models feature the same Qualcomm chipset, you'll get faster connectivity from the larger phones in Samsung's lineup. The Galaxy S25 Ultra posts the fastest download and upload speeds of the current models across all three networks. On T-Mobile's network, download speeds for the Galaxy S25 Ultra were 9% faster than what the Galaxy S25 Plus produced. The Galaxy S25 Ultra was also 12% faster on downloads than the Galaxy S25. You might notice that we've been referring to performance numbers on T-Mobile's network. That's because in Ookla's testing, T-Mobile consistently produced the best results for both upload and download speeds. (One exception: The Galaxy S23 Ultra's best download speeds were on Verizon.) Looking specifically at download speeds from a Galaxy S25 Ultra, the 442.69 Mbps result was 40% faster than the 315.12 Mbps result on Verizon's network. AT&T brought up the rear with 216 Mbps download speeds. That's relevant data if you're not only considering a new phone but a switch to a new carrier as well. Lots of factors determine who the best phone carrier is, but Ookla's new report would certainly suggest that T-Mobile has the edge on 5G download and upload speeds. While Ookla's results spotlight the current Galaxy S25 lineup, it could also prove to be relevant for the upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge. While Samsung has yet to disclose any official specs for that phone, rumors suggest that the phone maker will use the same Snapdragon 8 Elite system-on-chip found on the other Galaxy S25 models. That would mean the same X80 modem that delivered such impressive speeds here. We should find out very soon what silicon Samsung is using in the Galaxy S25 Edge, along with the other specs of the ultra-thin addition to the S25 lineup. Rumors point to a May 13 release for the phone.

Samsung resumes One UI 7 rollout for Galaxy S24 after bug fix
Listen to article Samsung has resumed the rollout of its One UI 7 update for the Galaxy S24 series, following a brief suspension caused by a major software bug. The update, which introduces Android 15 to the Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra, was originally launched on April 7 but was pulled just a week later after users reported serious issues. The problem initially surfaced on Korean variants of the devices, prompting Samsung to halt the update globally as a precaution. Now, with the issue resolved, the tech giant has restarted distribution beginning with its home market of South Korea. A global rollout is expected soon, though availability may vary by region. The affected software version for South Korean users is marked with the build number S928NKSU4BYD9. The update not only restores functionality but also includes bug fixes and performance improvements. Users outside of South Korea—including in the US, Europe, and India—can expect the update in the coming days or weeks. In addition to the Galaxy S24 lineup, Samsung is also re-releasing the One UI 7 update for its latest foldable devices: the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6, and the Z Fold 6 Special Edition. These devices had their updates paused for the same reason, but the rollout has now resumed in South Korea. One UI 7 brings Android 15 to Samsung's flagship devices, delivering a more polished interface, enhanced AI-powered features, and improved overall performance. Users are advised to ensure sufficient storage space before initiating the update, which can be checked manually via Settings > Software update. Despite a rocky beta phase and delayed rollout, Samsung appears to be back on track with its software roadmap, aiming to stabilize the user experience across its newest devices.
