The s25u is a powerful phone with decent battery. I tried the flips for a couple years but came back to ultra for better cameras. I wish they would include a bigger battery or removable battery. Like phone a lot. Decided to update during a recent double rewards promotion.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Major disappointment 😞
on December 1, 2025
Posted by: SeantakesNY
Expertise:Expert
Disappointed. I'm a galaxy user since the S1. Two days ago I purchased this phone in order to upgrade from the 2nd S22Ultra i owned since I cant handle the poor battery on it and to avoid another phone that will bootloop and get the motherboard fried up. When i turned on the S25U I noticed a downgrade in camera. Display. Bluetooth S-pen. The Display colors are dull and grayish even when on vivid and adjusted. It does gets brighter but thats all. The selfie camera is a major disappointment. I look like im wearing makeup and I am a male. It makes me look pale and im non-white person. The quality is below average . The back cameras are better but still it make me look pale. No warmth . It changes my skin tone to white Grey something I cant explain. Video calls are a no no because of how I look. When comparing it to the S22ULTRA its a huge downgrade. It Feels like it relays more on software than hardware with the cameras on this new device. On the positive side. The battery is excellent. I am able to go straight 8 hours of heavy use until it gets to 30%. Even so. I decided to return the device this morning. Before i did that I compared selfie and main cameras on my 3 generations ago without a doubt the S25Ultra had the poorest performance. I went ahead and switched brand which i cannot mention on the review here. I hope they pull it off with the S26ultra. I will be trying it at the store before purchasing anything. Start innovating. Bring back Bluetooth connectivity to the Spen. Bring back punchy beautiful display colors. Better sensors that wont relay on software. Better selfie camera. I want to see my true skin tone not a powedered person. I hope that helps.

Fix the camera!!
on January 7, 2026
Posted by: UPSET
from Florida
Expertise:Expert
I am so disappointed and angry with this phone camera. I finally upgraded my ultra 20 to an ultra 25 in December. What the hell happened Samsung?! PLEASE FIX THE CAMERA! PLEASE! Lighting is so bad. Quality is horrible. It looks so pixelated and over processed. I can't zoom in. It looks like a painting. I use my camera everyday! I make content, I'm the family's photographer. THIS IS HORRIBLE! I will be including photos I took of myself with my ultra 25 and my kids Galaxy 25. Taken secs after and unedited. Samsung! Please fix this issue! I tried settings. I tried raw photos. Nothing is working!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

terrible display vs previous models will return
on January 31, 2025
Posted by: disappointed
Returning the phone! The screen is terrible. Artifacts and glitches in menus; colors are muted, contrast is awful. Went through every option to try and make it tolerable. The vivid slide bar is useless. My s21 with "eye protecton" on has a sharper more vibrant display. Why have a high quality camera when all the pictures look terrible on the screen? I have never been more disappointed in a phone. I have had multiple generations of Samsung phones; unless they do something about the display this will unfortunately be my last.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello there, we appreciate your feedback on your Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. We understand how frustrating it can be when your new device is not meeting your expectations in appearance andfunctionality. In your settings if ‘Natural’ is selected in Screen mode, or ‘Eye comfort shield’ or ‘Adaptive color tone’ is enabled in Display settings, you are not able to adjust the ‘Vividness’ option as the ‘Advanced settings’ does not appear on the settings menu. We have provided links to the full device manual to help you further with these features, and to the Samsung Support Team if this experience continues and you would like additional assistance. We appreciate you being a Samsung customer. -Elizabeth

Battery life is laughable. A full charge at 7 AM
on November 8, 2025
Posted by: S25ultrafreezePenLemon
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Battery life is laughable.
A full charge at 7 AM drops to 15% by early afternoon with light use: email, Slack, browsing, no gaming. I’ve disabled 5G, killed background apps, turned off always-on display, capped refresh rate at 60 Hz—nothing works. It drains faster than my three-year-old S21 Ultra on its last legs. Even overnight idle drains 12-15%. Embarrassing for a 5,000 mAh battery and “ultra-efficient” Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Freezing is constant.
Multiple times daily the phone locks up for 10-30 seconds. Open the camera? Freeze. Switch apps? Freeze. Type a message? Freeze. Everything I tried to do during the hang suddenly floods in at once. I’ve factory reset twice, cleared cache partition, booted in safe mode—same garbage every time.
The S Pen is useless.
Tap one spot, it registers two inches away. Drawing straight lines is impossible; the cursor jumps like it’s drunk. Air gestures fail half the time. My 2019 Note 10+ had a far more accurate pen. Samsung clearly broke something here.
Touch response is broken.
I have to jab the screen 4-5 times for a single tap to register. Scrolling stutters, swiping lags, typing is infuriating—letters either don’t appear or double-type. I removed the screen protector, cleaned the display, recalibrated touch sensitivity—zero improvement. It’s not my fingers; every other phone in the house works fine.
Performance is slower than last-gen.
Apps take forever to open, multitasking hiccups, even the home animation stutters. This thing has 16 GB o
