[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Galaxy S25 Ultra!
The Galaxy does everything imaginable. Everyday activities include using the alarm clock and email apps plus whatever fun I feel like having that day - puzzles, farming, or numbers games. I am completely reliant on my calendar and would not know what to do without Galaxy AI.
The things I would like to change are - not pushing two buttons at the EXACT same time to turn off the phone and when searching in Gallery the initial search bar is at the top of the screen and the second search bar is at the bottom, please put the search bar in the same place on all screens.
I would not trade my phone for another. The items I dislike are small and hopefully will be corrected with an update.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The flagship device from Samsung Galaxy series continues to amaze it users. With Galaxy AI at the core of it and with an up to date Android and One UI skin, this device is capable of in incredibly good response times and a brilliant display. It's a joy to use for daily activities while keeping the battery running for the entire day. Streaming is incredibly fast on my WiFi 7 access points with a high speed fiber internet.
Latest mobile broadband connections also provide high speed mobile data connectivity.
Camera is incredible with great night shots as well with its feature rich camera app.
Productivity apps on both Microsoft and Google ecosystem are very functional and coupled with the stylus provides an optimal experience. Still miss the old stylus features.
BTW, love using a Pitaka case makes it true sleekness appear in full glory.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had a few different brand phone. Android and iOS. None of them gets even close to the S25 Ultra. The screen is amazin, the battery life last day and a half. The Android experience and the OneUI is amazing. One nitpick would be to make the music player bigger. No reason to be that small on a such nice display. The GalaxyAI makes life so much easier, just say what you need and it does it for you, no need to pick up your phone.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The galaxy AI feature is a nice feature. It is very helpful for finding things and setting things up for your calendar. I really like it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had every Galaxy since the 3. And I love each new one more than the last. The S25 Ultra is no exception. Super fast, excellent camera features, amazing battery life. Calendars, alarms, Samsung wallet. It starts my car & unlocks the doors. I basically walk around with just my phone in my pocket and it's all I need. I'm just starting to learn & use the AI assistant features on the S25 Ultra. Loving it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy using the S25 Ultra. It's easy to navigate and doesn't have so many limitations as many other phone makers products. The most recent update made it even better! I especially like the camera and the new features from that update. It really makes the overall quality remarkable! Just when I thought that I had it all figured out the new updates to the Galaxy AI gave me more to learn and much more to enjoy. I have gone through the gamut of the versions of "notes" and now the "Ultras" and this by far is my favorite but the next favorite is the Note4. I wish that many of the features from the Note 4 had been retained throughout the line, but this one is superior to all of the other models made!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fact that Samsung decided to delete the Bluetooth functionality of tge S-pen makes no sense. I've been using them since the Galaxy Note 10+ and always loved the fact it worked as a remote camera shutter release. It worked brilliantly and had I known that Samsung deleted this function, I would have probably opted for a different phone.
I turned off everything related to Galaxy AI because I have no use for it and it seems invasive, even when limiting the processing to the phone. Cool that it's there for some people, I suppose.
The screen looks good, but not as good as the one on the Note 10+. It lacks the Note's elegance as well. Samsung went with a brick motif on the S25 Ultra. It's a bit too hefty to be practical.
The cameras are okay, not great, but just okay. The 200 megapixels is appreciated, because of the vastly improved dynamic range, but the photos are still a bit underprocessed and blurry. You can't zoom well at 200 megapixels. Seems like a wasted opportunity. Grade: B
