[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After many years, Samsung finally made a phone that is at least an upgraded processor. The s20 ultra is still Superior in just about every way. With the s25 ultra, I have to restart the phone quite regularly because of all the bugs that freeze the platforms. The battery life of the s25 drains a lot quicker than the s20. The camera even though it is supposed to be almost double the megapixel, is blurrier than the s20. Call signals and Wi-Fi connection lengths seem to be worse than the s20. Internet speed is a lot faster thanks to the new processor, which is the only feature I see that is an upgrade from the s20 ultra 16 gig ram. Yes 25 also did not have the option of 16 GB Ram for USA models. You're stuck with 12. Overall, it is a decent phone, unlike yes 21, 22, 23, 24 Ultras. They all had major issues and were a waste of money to try. So since the s20 is becoming outdated, at least there is a decent model now to upgrade to. For those who didn't have the s20 ultra 16 GB Ram, you might have not understand the downgrades in comparison. I won't be going for the s26, as the price is way high, while the phone is really no different than the s25. There's no value in switching and all it is is taking a chance that this model will have the same or Worse bugs, since Samsung doesn't seem to want to fix anything. Galaxy AI spiel is a nice feature, when it actually works, but it's nothing that you can't get with apps or websites. And it's probably just slowing the phone down to have it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The AI is a great feature to have as the AI really helps you to be able to do things faster and more efficient. The S-Pen is another great feature. The phone it's self is great all around. The processor is fast and efficient and it's great for gaming as I have never had a problem playing any games on the phone.
