[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I hated my Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere so much that I refused to use Samsung for 14 years. Until a little over a year ago, when I made the wrong choice of getting a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra over the OnePlus 13. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is definitely a phone you will love or hate depending on what you use your phone for. As long as you don’t mind that you can’t turn off their not-quite-ready-for-the-job-yet AI, which is constantly trying to improve things but isn’t ready for the amount of work it’s being forced to do, it does decent low-light photos but is absolutely awful in every other way on the camera. It’s so bad that the S22 has a better camera than the S25. It is good at finding writing in images, but it also likes to bother you with writing suggestions that have never been helpful or wanted. It does do some cool art, but the unnecessary, over-the-top censoring ruins it. In my opinion, by far the best thing about this phone is that it has kept up with me running multiple things at the same time for 10+ hours every day for 360+ days without losing any speed. Without a doubt, the worst part is the camera. It’s confusingly disappointing that Samsung would release a supposedly “upgraded” phone that has a worse camera than their previous models. Probably going to be at least another 14+ years before I buy another Samsung.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra for a while now and it has honestly exceeded my expectations in every way. The display is incredibly sharp and smooth, making videos, gaming, and everyday browsing feel premium. The camera system is outstanding, especially in low light, and the zoom quality is seriously impressive without losing much detail. Battery life easily lasts through a full day even with heavy use, and the performance feels fast and responsive no matter how many apps are open.
The design also feels very polished and comfortable in hand, while the S Pen is surprisingly useful for notes and quick edits. Samsung also did a great job with the software features and customization options. Overall, this phone feels powerful, reliable, and premium from every angle. Definitely one of the best smartphones Samsung has released.
