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.

Thus is my 1st time buying a true flagship phone like this, coming from a S21 it's a night and day difference. I use it on Mint and couldn't be happier.
There's nothing it can't do so far.
I'm having trouble getting Telegram is my only hiccup so far.

The only downside, just like the 24 ultra, the pen falls out itself, don't not stay put and its easy to lose
