Battle of the Titans: Galaxy S24 Ultra vs. S25 Edge

In a world where we ask ourselves every year, "Is it really worth upgrading your phone?", Samsung has two answers that could divide fans: the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the recently announced Galaxy S25 Edge . Both are flagships, both high-end... but they have completely different personalities.

Thinking about upgrading your cell phone in 2025 and not sure which one to choose? Don't worry. Here's a thorough, analytical, and at the same time relatable comparison that will help you understand which one best suits your lifestyle, needs, and budget.

Spoiler alert: there's no absolute winner , but there is a perfect model for every type of user. Shall we?

What do they have in common?

Before getting into the differences, it's fair to acknowledge that both the S24 Ultra and S25 Edge share several elements that make them premium devices:

• Latest generation processor (Snapdragon 8 Gen 3/4 depending on the market)

• AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate

• 5G network compatibility

• Fast and wireless charging

• IP68 water and dust resistance

• Android 16 with guaranteed updates for 5 to 7 years

Both are true performance beasts. However, the difference lies in how they make you feel when using them and what they prioritize in terms of design and functionality.

Design: Robust or stylish?

Galaxy S24 Ultra : The sleek tank

Samsung opted to maintain the rectangular design with flat edges on the S24 Ultra , a form factor reminiscent of the Galaxy Note. It's sturdy, rugged, and ideal for productivity and writing thanks to the built-in S Pen .

• Titanium frame: durable and premium.

• 6.8-inch flat screen: ideal for editing documents, watching videos in maximum quality or playing games.

• Notable weight (232 grams): feels solid, but may be a bit heavy for small hands.

Ideal for: intensive users, creatives, professionals who use the phone as a work tool.

Galaxy S25 Edge : Curves to Fall in Love With

The new S25 Edge is Samsung's aesthetic bet for 2025. It brings back curved screens , but this time with improved anti-accidental touch technology .

• Slim and lightweight design (less than 200g)

• 6.7” display with edge edges on both sides

• Bright colors with glossy finishes

It feels more comfortable in the hand, more user-friendly for everyday use, and more focused on those who value visual experience, design, and portability.

Ideal for: those who want style, elegance and a more fluid and sensorial experience.

Cameras: the art of capturing the moment

Here the differences become clearer.

Galaxy S24 Ultra : Professional zoom and precision

The Ultra continues to rely on the quad camera, with:

• 200MP main sensor with better nighttime capture

• 5x optical zoom and 10x hybrid zoom up to 100x

• 12 MP wide-angle lens

• Improved periscopic sensor

Ideal for photography enthusiasts, content creators, and those who want to capture the Moon or impossible details from afar.

Galaxy S25 Edge: Less zoom, more AI

The S25 Edge features improved AI for photography. Although it loses the 10x zoom, it focuses on:

• 108 MP main sensor

• Improvements in portrait and motion photography

• AI that adjusts color, light and focus automatically

• Stabilized 4K/60 fps video even on the front camera

For more casual users or social media creators, it's a camera ready to publish without retouching.

Performance and software: Android 16 makes the difference

Both come with Android 16 and the One UI 7 customization layer, which brings interesting improvements:

• Smart shortcuts based on habits

• Automatic app organization

• Improved AI Assistant

• Productivity + concentration mode

However, the S24 Ultra has the advantage due to its compatibility with the S Pen , ideal for taking notes, drawing or editing documents on the fly.

Battery: Bigger or more efficient?

• S24 Ultra: 5000 mAh + 45W Fast Charging + S Pen

• S25 Edge: 4700 mAh + 65W charging + more efficient battery thanks to AI

In real-world terms, both can give you a full day of use without a problem , but the S25 Edge charges faster, while the S24 Ultra performs better on high-power tasks like gaming, editing, or productivity.
