Delhi: Ampverse DMI today announced Samsung as the Official Title Sponsor of College Rivals Season 3, with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra featuring in all on-ground gameplay and content integrations.
Esports is growing rapidly across Indian campuses with gamers demanding devices that deliver stable performance, fast response times, and sharp visuals. And collegiate tournaments have emerged as key platforms to nurture new talent and test flagship technology under real-world pressure.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is powered by the Snapdragon® 8 Elite for Galaxy. The customised processor marks the most powerful iteration in the Galaxy S series; it delivers a 40% performance boost in NPU, 37% in CPU, and 30% in GPU compared to the previous generation.
“Samsung has consistently delivered powerful devices for demanding gameplay. The Galaxy S25 Ultra raises this standard with blazing-fast performance. Its 6.9-inch immersive Dynamic AMOLED 2x display with anti-reflective coating and 120Hz refresh rate caters to gamers who seek the best. We collaborated closely with Qualcomm engineers to customise the Snapdragon® 8 Elite chip for exceptional speed while preventing overheating during intense gaming sessions,” said Aditya Babbar, Vice President of MX Business at Samsung India.
The Galaxy S25 series incorporates advanced AI image processing with ProScaler11 to achieve up to 43% improvement in display image scaling quality. It also features Samsung’s mobile Digital Natural Image engine (mDNIe) embedded within the processor for enhanced display power efficiency.
Galaxy S25 Ultra includes Advanced Ray Tracing and a Vulkan Engine that enhances game performance by improving graphics rendering and computing workloads for a true-to-life experience. Enhanced heat dissipation, with a 40% larger vapour chamber and tailored thermal interface material (TIM), ensures smooth operation during intensive device usage and AI processing.
Charlie Baillie, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Ampverse, remarked, “As competitive gaming becomes integral to youth culture in India, Samsung’s technology sets a new benchmark for campus esports. By introducing student gamers to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, we are strengthening the talent pipeline, elevating grassroots competitiveness, and creating an aspirational platform for India’s next generation of esports athletes.”
Shivashish Chatterjee, Co-founder, DMI Group, said, “We are excited to extend our deep relationship with Samsung to the College Rivals platform. As a committed supporter of the rapidly growing esports ecosystem in India, we look forward to the day when a million college students across the country have a path to discovery and stardom on College Rivals.”
