[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S25 Ultra is a great device. I’ve been using it since it came out, and while I was hesitant at first about upgrading just for the AI features, I’m glad I did. I now use the Galaxy AI tools every day, especially the enhanced Circle to Search. It’s extremely useful for translating or extracting text directly from images. The Gemini Live Chat feature has also been incredibly helpful for brainstorming ideas, and the ability for it to see what’s on your screen adds a whole new level of functionality. Samsung and Google are clearly creating experiences that weren’t possible on phones before. The only thing I would change is bringing back Bluetooth support for the S Pen. It was convenient for taking group photos and a few other tasks. That said, having a Galaxy Watch makes this less of an issue.

S pen no longer operates camera like S23 ultra, why? Why remove this function? Such a simple feature. I'm honestly disappointed in this decision, but I'm only one of millions but will make sure all that my feedback know of this.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra has completely transformed how I manage work and personal tasks. Everything about this phone feels designed for productivity. The performance is lightning fast which makes multitasking smooth whether I am editing documents joining video calls or switching between apps. The interface is intuitive and easy to use so I spend less time figuring things out and more time getting things done. The 512GB of storage is a game changer because I can keep all my files photos and apps in one place without worrying about running out of space. It feels liberating to have that much capacity right at my fingertips. Combined with the sharp display and long battery life this phone has become my main tool for staying organized and efficient. It is not just a phone it is a reliable productivity partner that makes every day easier.
It's a good phone so far. I wish the 🔋 stay last longer than it la right now
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not much not to like about the S25 Ultra...would be nice to have expandable memory, ie micro sd slot like my note 20 ultra. New phone just feels right in your hand. The camera lenses look great without a bump out like the new S26. You need a case with a magnetic ring since Samsung did not build it in....oh well I always use a case anyway. But all in all its a great phone...works better with my samsung watch and galaxy tablet S11 ultra.
I'm truly astonished with how good this Phone looks. Titanium jet black is an awesome color. The Phone is fast and smooth. I upgraded from the a54 5g. If Samsung keeps up the good work, I'll definitely be buying the ultra again.
I just don't see much difference in past phones. I only bought this to get the extra storage. Samsung really lowered themselves when they took away the ability to buy storage with SD cards. Plus I miss the days when you could plug in headphones instead of Bluetooth. Pay attention, because corporations are taking away choices for us.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Nice easy setup from my note 9, majority of items transferred with no issues. I loved the touch and feel of the ultra. Also enjoy the use of the pen.
The only negative i have is there lack of support for a micro sd card. Samsung you need to take charge and lead there industry not follow your competitors changes. Stand out and make yourself a leader.
