[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This device is extremely fast at executing open commands. It is seamless in it's ability to work with multiple applications. AI is another feature that has been integrated seamlessly into the device, Great job Samsung at getting that right. Battery life is also very good for a full day of continuous use. The camera features are also above that of other competitors. The ability to work within the camera environment is exceptional.
The S25 Ultra is my most disliked phone of the decade. The S Pen no longer has Bluetooth connectivity and it no longer has a battery. And I really hate the new camera lenses, especially with them sticking out and collecting dust. Another thing too, Samsung’s new One UI 8 is such an eyesore. The app icons look dull and unoriginal (especially the new Mail icon. It now has an @ symbol in the middle???). Samsung also changed everything in the standard UI, with the App Search bar now being on the bottom and the app opening transition now looking less interesting and a lot more. Samsung is taking steps backwards now, and I think these actions are really bad mistakes, and they make me not want to buy another Samsung product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Wish I knew you couldn't take a picture with the stylus and how cheap this phone feels compared to my S22 ultra... would have kept it and not upgraded.

Why on earth would Samsung remove the bluetooth for the S Pen? Trying to save a few dollars? The phone is already crazy expensive. Now the S Pen is basically a useless piece of garbage.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ease of all the apps and settings is what I love the most, the speed and processing system is fast better than any other phone I've had. Quality of the camera and pictures are amazing. Overall I give this phone 5 stars and I will continue to stay with samsung. Thank you for making a great product
I hate the Messaging (texting) app that is on the new phone. I had a Samsung S20 and I wish I kept it. Other than that, the phone is good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In all my previous devices I've always "slimmed down" the features to improve battery life, partially for the battery and partially due to the features not really being exciting enough. I've owned a few Samsung devices over the years, notably the original S1 Fascinate as my first smartphone and most recently the S20 FE, however, the S25 Ultra has by far been the most exciting thing since the Fascinate. It's brought back my love for devices that I haven't had since my first smartphone. I find myself trying to find more features to use rather than trying to get rid of them. Now Brief keeps me periodically updated on my schedule and the weather and the camera just begs to be used and tinkered with. The screen is large, vibrant, and responsive. The Ultra has been a joy to learn and use.
