One of my favorite features in previous S-ultras was the ability to use the pen to take pictures. Samsung has removed this capability from the S25 ultra. Very disappointed!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What I expected in a phone. Loved my 23 Ultra and knew that the 25 would be even better.

I was coming from an S22 ultra and not going to lie. I really do not notice a difference other than it is a bit faster... It's nice I like the phone just not super impressed with new or lack thereof features. Maybe I am missing something, but it does not feel like the days of a new phone maybe 5 years ago. Again I would not say I am disappointed as the S22 was getting quite laggy and slow to respond but I am not impressed. truly neutral.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This phone is great. Camera is superb quality especially the videos. I was able to zoom in my kid’s choir concert at school and it’s so clear and sharp.
