I just really appreciate that everything is as I left it on my old phone. Including attaching to my older 2019 samsung smart watch without issue. And I can doodle on it with the stylus and Penup. It's not bad.
The S25 Ultra is nothing but an overpriced notepad. After Samsung removing the S pen features it make this new model a useless piece of trash. I don't know what they were thinking removing one of the best features that set the S series phones above the others. This is a huge downgrade from my S23 Ultra. Which the battery lasted 3 times longer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My battery don't last as long as my s23ultra, I added all my apps without transferring from my s23ultra to make sure had no issues. I had to restart this one a few times as well since I got it.

This is my first Ultra device and it is great! The battery life is awesome! The camera is awesome! The speed and smoothness is great, which honesty surprised me! Coming from a Pixel 9 this is a major upgrade to me!
