I upgraded from the S24 Ultra. This phone represents a significant improvement, meeting all my requirements. It is much more comfortable to hold than the S24.
I would 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.

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.

As expected, the ultra is amazing. Beautiful display and One UI has quietly become the best android skin. Dependable and feature rich.

After some time with this phone ill say this is a pretty dang good phone only things that i have noticed is that my battery life seams a little low. Another thing i did notice it that if you turn on certian setting with the camera the photos come out looking softened didgitally and that part i am not the happiest about as a photographer. But those aside i love how the phone feels and operates.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have not been let down by a Samsung phone so far. I usually get the flagship phone and upgrade every few years.
High quality processor, camera, memory.

1)The fingerprint sensor does not work properly with many screen protectors.
2) Floating windows are not detected automatically in scenarios like driving; apps such as YouTube and Google Maps do not function as overlay windows.
3) Even the Messages app should be able to open as an overlay window on top of other applications, which is not available on the S25 Ultra.
4)There is no built-in app lock feature to lock individual apps. Instead, Samsung provides Secure Folder, which creates duplicate apps inside it. This is inconvenient, unnecessary, and not preferred by many users. As a result, I have to rely on third-party apps to lock specific apps.
5) There is no gesture-based app launch feature from the lock screen—for example, drawing a letter like “W” to open a pre-assigned app.
Samsung needs to improve these features, as they have been available on other Android phones and widely used since 2022.
