Low-light videos powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite
According to well-known tipster Ice Universe, Samsung is stepping up its game with low-light video improvements for the Galaxy S25 Ultra. This enhancement is reportedly made possible by the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which will be the driving force behind the device in most regions.

Unfortunately, it sounds like this feature won’t be available for older Samsung phones. Why? It’s all about the hardware. The low-light video boost relies on the advanced computational power of the Snapdragon 8 Elite, so older models just don’t have the chops to support it.
Samsung has already earned a strong reputation for its nighttime photography, but this shift toward improving nighttime video could help the Galaxy S25 Ultra raise the bar even further.
16GB RAM: Only in a few places
There’s been some back-and-forth about whether the Galaxy S25 Ultra will come with a 16GB RAM option. While earlier reports suggested Samsung might ditch this configuration altogether, Ice Universe now claims it’s happening—but only in certain regions.

Reportedly, the 16GB RAM variant will be limited to the Chinese and South Korean markets. For everyone else, the top configuration will likely include 12GB of RAM, which is still plenty powerful, but not as powerful as the 24GB of RAM on the OnePlus 13 that just came out.
Meanwhile, Samsung is rumored to be working on a Galaxy S25 Slim—a lighter and thinner version of the Ultra. This model will reportedly have more modest hardware, giving buyers a budget-friendly alternative.
What else can we expect from the Galaxy S25 Ultra?
So far, leaks have hinted at several exciting upgrades for the S25 Ultra, including:
- New ultrawide and telephoto cameras to round out the camera setup.
- AI-powered image and video processing to deliver sharper, cleaner results.
- A sleek new design with Samsung’s latest display tech, promising better brightness and energy efficiency.
