[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a bit of an Android power user, so that bit will bias my review. My previous phone was an LG v60, which I loved. After 5 years of dutiful service, I upgraded.
What an upgrade. The battery life is fantastic, even with my constant meddling and fidgeting with settings and apps that drain the battery like a horde of vampires. The screen is crisp and responsive to touch AND the S-Pen, which writes like a mini notepad on the lock screen (a very handy feature for those who forget things and need reminders). The camera(s) really surprised me - they perform very well in a very wide array of light conditions, and can zooooooom. The zoom is impressive beyond my expectations. The built in AI features at first were a bit of wasted space, but once I found their "niches" in my routines, it was very time saving. I also own a Galaxy Watch 7, so the synchronicity between the 2 is handy indeed. Sleep mode on both can be activated by the other, which is also nice.
All in all, it performs above and beyond my requests in a day, both reasonable and not. I highly recommend this device (as well as a nice case for it!).
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I previously owned a Note 2, followed by an S21, and now the S25 Ultra. The absence of the S Pen was a significant drawback; I am pleased with its return. It's light years faster then the 21. There's so many new features. The audio erasure is pretty neat.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new phone. I upgraded from the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. I really didn't want to upgrade my phone but I ran out of storage. The camera quality is the same but the phone is smaller and I can't set up my text messages in categories where I can just click on a category like family, Barber or choir. That is my only gripe right now. If I can get my categories out would definitely be a rating of 5 stars.

Its 6.7-inch AMOLED display is bright, sharp, and fluid with a 120Hz refresh rate, perfect for both gaming and streaming.

The triple-camera setup (wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto) captures detailed, vibrant images in various lighting conditions. Night photography is noticeably improved, and the AI-powered enhancements offer excellent clarity and color accuracy. Video recording is equally strong with 8K support and superior stabilization. Battery life easily lasts a full day with moderate to heavy use, and 45W fast charging gets you back to 100% quickly.
