The European Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra passed through the FCC, bearing the model numbers SM-S931B/DS, SM-S936B/DS, and SM-S938B/DS. They’ve been testing with a 25W charger but the Ultra might support up to 45W, like the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

The periscope module is joined by a 50MP main lens (IMX906) with OIS and a 12MP ultrawide. There’s a 6.78-inch 120Hz OLED and a 5,300mAh battery with 100W wired and 80W wireless charging. The Honor 300 Ultr starts at CNY 4,199 ($577) and is on sale in China.
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra will have the same 6.73-inch display as its predecessor, along with a 1-inch type main camera with f/1.63 aperture – no mention of a variable aperture this year. Next, a 50 MP short-distance zoom telephoto (probably 2x), and a 200 MP probably 4.3x periscope telephoto. Rumor has it the cell capacity will be between 5,450 mAh and 5,800 mAh.
