For connectivity, it supports 4G, NFC, and unspecified versions of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
On the back of the phone, it is packed with a 50MP main camera, a macro lens, and an RGB light for notifications, while up front, it houses a 32MP selfie snapper. Powering the S25 Ultra is a 5,000Mah battery with support for 18W charging. Software-wise, it ships with itel OS 14.5 based on Android 14, which a promise of two major OS upgrades.
The S25 Ultra retails at RM699 and comes in black, titanium, and ocean colour options. As of writing, it can only be pre-ordered through one major distributor.
