Diving is a journey into a mysterious, awe-inspiring world, and capturing those dreamlike moments adds a magical dimension to the experience. For any diving enthusiast, having a high-performance phone and a powerful, reliable underwater housing is crucial. Today, we have fantastic news: the newly released Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is perfectly compatible with DIVEVOLK's full touchscreen housings, creating an underwater photography system with breathtaking potential.
Officially released on July 15, 2025, the S25 Ultra is a true creative powerhouse. Let's explore why this new smartphone, when paired with a DIVEVOLK housing, is set to redefine what's possible for underwater imaging.
The Samsung S25 Ultra: An AI and Hardware Powerhouse
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra isn't just a smartphone; it's a mobile imaging studio. Its philosophy combines top-tier hardware with intelligent, AI-driven software, allowing users to capture professional-grade photos and videos in any environment—especially underwater.
A Top-Tier Camera System to Capture Every Detail
The S25 Ultra's hardware provides a solid foundation for incredible underwater shots:
- 200MP Main Sensor: The high-resolution 200MP main camera (f/1.7) captures a massive amount of detail, giving you incredible flexibility for cropping and reframing your shots in post-production. In low-light conditions, its 16-in-1 pixel binning technology produces stunningly clean, vibrant 12MP images, making it a formidable tool for capturing the deep.
- Multi-Focal Length Zoom: With 3x, 5x, and 10x optical zoom capabilities, you can say goodbye to grainy digital zoom. This allows you to capture frame-filling shots of shy marine life from a respectful distance or zoom in on intricate coral details without losing quality. AI enhancements even keep shots usable up to 100x!
- 50MP Ultra-Wide Lens: The high-resolution ultra-wide lens (f/1.9) is perfect for capturing sweeping reefscapes or the immense scale of a shipwreck, with improved edge sharpness and reduced distortion.
Revolutionary AI: The S25 Ultra's "Ocean Mode"
At present, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra “Ocean Mode” is not available to everyday consumers; it has been exclusively customized for the coral-reef restoration program run in partnership with the environmental organization Seatrees. The mode is supplied only to divers and researchers taking part in marine-conservation projects, enabling them to capture high-quality underwater images for monitoring coral health and building 3-D reef models.
Consequently, ordinary users cannot activate Ocean Mode on personal devices at this time. Whether Samsung will open it to the wider public in the future is still unknown and awaits an official announcement.
What truly sets the S25 Ultra apart is its revolutionary, AI-powered "Ocean Mode," designed specifically for underwater enthusiasts, researchers, and travel photographers. Powered by the new Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and Galaxy AI, this mode intelligently optimizes your shots for the unique challenges of the underwater environment:
- Automatic White Balance Correction: The AI algorithm analyzes the scene to correct for color cast caused by light absorption in water, restoring the natural, vibrant colors of fish and coral. This helps you avoid those overly blue or green photos. Learn more about why colors fade underwater here.
- Multi-Frame Stabilization: To combat blur from your movement or water currents, this feature captures multiple frames and uses AI to merge them into a single, sharp, and stable image.
- Intelligent Interval Shooting: Perfect for researchers or patient observers, this function can automatically generate a timelapse, ideal for monitoring coral growth or capturing the subtle movements of marine ecosystems.
- Blue Tone Reduction: The image processing algorithm is optimized to avoid an excessive blue tint, providing more accurate colors for both scientific documentation and artistic creation.
