[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a sleek looking rugged phone since I am an Equestrian and have drops regularly. This has held up through a few with no scratches.
I updated my phone two days later it's asking for another update so I'm trying to not update and leave it for later and it constantly asks for update even in the middle of the day. iPhones don't do that they'll have notification but it wouldn't pop up in whole screen like in the middle of the game or in the middle of the video I'm watching.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my black Galaxy S25 Ultra primariliy for note-taking, pdf markup, and as an e-reader, and it looks elegant in doing so. The metal and glass softly shimmers in what appears like champagne copper and frosted espresso.
My favorte feature is the S-Pen which I use often every day, and the silicone rubber tip is still like new even after three months with a matte screen protector.
The Galaxy AI grammar and style functions have helped me multiple times to set the perfect casual tone in my correspondences. It's as though there's a smart English professor living inside my device.
Hi-res 24/192k PCM audio sounds very clean, punchy, and detailed. The device also handles up to DSD 256. To achieve that smooth, slightly warm, and naturally detailed DSD audiophile sound quality similar to the sound of high-grade metal tape, I had to use a certain movie studio & record label's free Music Center app. DSD through apps which I've tested other than Music Center just sound like regular converted digital PCM. To my ears it seems as though Music Center may be outputting DSD natively through the SnapDragon chip, but I really can not say definitively. If you're an audiophile or just like great sounding music, I highly recommend the S25 Ultra.
It would have been great if the screen was a centimeter or two wider; big enough to take more extensive lecture and work notes and read papers on.
The S25 Ultra is almost perfect and I love it. Yes, I would buy it all over again.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is lightning fast in processing. I'm able to stream and game, search the web effortlessly! I love the design and it feels good in my hands!
I love using the stylus for not taking and scrolling!!
The camera is the best around that I've witnessed!! Samsung has always been the top dog in the industry as far as phones are concerned!
The body the S25 Ultra delivers on raw power and software polish, but in day-to-day use it often fails to deliver a full work-day on a single charge, even with moderate use. images occasionally come out washed out or show visible streaks under strong light, which undermines what should otherwise be a flagship-level camera.
