The new Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is here and it's a smart choice for anyone who is looking to stream games on Twitch and YouTube.
The new smartphone is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor, which is a real beast when it comes to running games, while the 6.9" screen is big, bold, and has an anti-reflective coating so you won’t get distracted in the heat of battle. We've gotten hands on with the S25 Ultra to put it through its paces, and the good news is that this is a powerful, versatile device that's ideal for gamers and content creators.
How can I stream to Twitch with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra?
Download the free Twitch app for easy streaming
Streaming games to Twitch from a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is really easy – you just need to get the free Twitch app from the Play Store, open it up and set up an account.
When that's done, open the app and hit the + button at the bottom of the screen. You will then be asked to enable your microphone and overlays. After choosing a game, you need to adjust the volume of both the game and your microphone. And that's it – you're ready to start streaming!
How can I stream to YouTube with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra?
Reach a wider audience by streaming on YouTube
Streaming on YouTube is very similar to Twitch, though it has a few restrictions in place that you need to be aware of. You will not be able to go live on YouTube until your channel has been verified (this is easy, just go to www.youtube.com/verify and follow the instructions) and you must have at least 50 subscribers.
Once that's all sorted, all you have to do is open the YouTube app on the Galaxy S25 Ultra and sign into your account. Then hit the + button at the bottom and select Live.
Can I stream to Twitch and YouTube at the same time?
Stream to multiple apps at once for maximum efficiency
The Twitch app is user-friendly, but also a little limited and doesn’t offer the ability to stream to other apps simultaneously. If you're looking for an app with more functionality, there are plenty available.
Personally, we like Prism Live Studio which is safe, free, and packed with useful features, including the ability to multi-stream directly from the app to Twitch, YouTube, Facebook and more.
Will my games run smoothly on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra?
A powerful processor = buttery-smooth gaming
Yes – and this is where that Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor comes in handy. Playing PubG Mobile and Call of Duty Mobile at 120FPS resulted in super-smooth gameplay, as did Fortnite at 90FPS, even set to the maximum possible graphics settings.
An additional useful feature here is the Galaxy S25 Ultra's battery and performance optimisation, which means your phone isn't going to drop dead in the middle of a crucial round!
How comfortable is the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra?
A tough, but stylish smartphone
This is a seriously slim and stylish smartphone, clocking in at just 8.2mm. It's not flimsy, though – in fact, it's built from ultra-strong titanium, with a Corning® Gorilla® Armor 2 glass screen that Samsung says is the strongest on a Galaxy smartphone to date. That means it can withstand all the bumps and knocks that come with intensive gaming.
It's also worth shouting out the screen's anti-reflective coating here, which prevents glare and other distractions while you're playing.
