The Galaxy S25 Ultra delivers outstanding performance and features. I did notice a small scratch on the back of the phone and found the battery life to be slightly lower than expected for a full day of use. While I was hoping for a bit more compensation, the $85 discount was still appreciated. Overall, it's a fantastic device, and I'm happy with the purchase despite these minor issues.
I switched to this phone as I ran out of internal storage on my S24 Ultra and was able to get a better deal on the S25 with more memory than I would have on an s24. It is the same phone, there really are no differences in how it performs, how it feels, or how it works. But the camera is definitely not as good. I'm happy with the memory and the phone, but it isn't worth 'upgrading' from the previous generation unless your phone is broken.
I think the phone is excellent, but the fact that the S Pen doesn't have Bluetooth is a step backward for the device. Also, the battery life isn't as good as new phones usually are. It's strange, but I think my S23 Ultra is at the same level as the S25 Ultra, which I find incredible.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I went from an old S8 to the new S25 and obviously the build quality, performance, size, memory, features, and battery life on the S25 are far beyond those of the S8. I'm glad I was able to get a great deal so that I could upgrade. It was a good decision.

Was pretty easy to "smart switch" all data from a S22U. Phone is fast, camera takes amazing resolution pics. So far, I really like this new phone a lot!
