Portrait Studio has also been enhanced, allowing users to create personalized avatars with more true-to-life facial expressions. Filters introduce new analog-style filters, delivering a film-like aesthetic for their photos and videos.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra runs on One UI 7 on top of Android 15, which comes with plenty of new features. Samsung now collaborates with Gemini to enable cross-app actions.

There are also three Samsung.com exclusive colors: Titanium Pinkgold, Titanium Jetblack, and Titanium Jadegreen.
