I am not that impressed at all! No microsd slot anymore. Notifications of some apps completely changed. My physical sim card changed to e-sim with no warning!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung had the market cornered with the expandable mixro SD card slot. But they have gone the way of their competitor and still have it unavailable on their flagship device. They need to bring that back. They will gain millions of customers. It basically allows you for unlimited storage space and also a safeguard for if the phone is damaged. Your documents and photos are still available on the card. The Galaxy AI has not stood out exceptionally well. In some instances, it's intrusive during normal use of the phone. Plenty of customizable options for the AI except for the ones that you don't really care about it. For example removing predictive text on whatsapp. The predictive text ends up covering up the last message of the person you're responding to so you can't see what they've written.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the s25 ultra for a couple of days now. And let me tell you, it's hand's down better than the s24 ultra. More feature rich, faster, the new galaxy ai is great and helpful.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You cant go wromg with this one. High quality resolution, top teir camera, and samsung. Its everythimg you need
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bottom Line
If you're after one of the most powerful and productive Android flagships—with a huge, gorgeous display, top camera versatility, S Pen, and long software support—the S25 Ultra is a compelling choice. Just be ready to pay premium, manage under‑whelming charging speeds, and navigate some AI gimmicks. Upgrading from an older Galaxy Ultra (S22 or earlier) will feel noticeably significant; from an S24 Ultra, the leap is more evolutionary, not revolutionary
