[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am absolutely delighted with my new S25 Ultra. I particularly appreciate its rounded corners, the remarkably flat and bright display, the updated software, the innovative Brief module, and the incredibly responsive touch and animations. I could go on and on about its features.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had 24 ultra but 25Ultra 512 is superior. Fab colors , vivid, and very fast, few new things like shutoff mode top of screen. Love it so far and with the upgrade suggest its a buy!! Enjoy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the seamless actions across all of the apps. I love how easy it was to set up! I love the durability and how sleek it looks!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recently got my S25 Ultra which I've been wanting since before it was announced. I wanted to create a little ecosystem with my Tab S9+ which I use for work and my phone so that I can access and share documents and information more seamlessly and I absolutely love how it's done. My only but is the camera. I feel that it needs a software update to make the processing better in certain shots. I feel that the night mode shots are a little too oversharpened and in my experience some shots in certain lighting conditions can get a little overexposed. Still is a ver solid camera and I love most of the shots I'm getting out of it.
Overall it's a great phone and experience using it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is here, and it’s an absolute powerhouse. From its gorgeous 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display to its insanely smooth 144Hz refresh rate, this phone screams premium. It’s big—no doubt—but if you love having a stunning screen for gaming, streaming, or just scrolling, you won’t mind.
Under the hood, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 (or Exynos 2500) and up to 16GB RAM make everything lightning-fast. Whether you’re multitasking or playing the most demanding games, this phone doesn’t even break a sweat. There’s up to 1TB of storage, but no microSD slot—a bit of a letdown for some.
Now, let’s talk about the cameras—because wow. The 200MP main sensor takes ultra-detailed shots, and the 5x and 10x optical zoom make distant shots actually usable. Night Mode? Better than ever. The 40MP selfie cam keeps you looking sharp in every video call or Insta post. Oh, and 8K video recording with improved stabilization? Chef’s kiss.
Battery life is solid with a 5,500mAh battery, lasting all day easily. Charging is fast (65W wired, 35W wireless), but—yep, still no charger in the box. Samsung’s One UI 7 on Android 15 feels smoother, AI features like Live Translate are cool, and the S Pen is still a game-changer for productivity.
Verdict
✔️ Pros: Stunning display, crazy-fast performance, killer cameras, great battery, S Pen love ❌ Cons: Pricey, no microSD, no charger
Final Score: 9.5/10 – If you want the best Android
I've had my S25 Ultra for about a month. I bought it to replace my S22 Ultra, thinking I would be getting an upgrade. I've found this phone to be average at best. There does not appear to be a significant improvement over my previous phone. If I had to do this all over again, I'd take a pass.
My main reason for an upgrade was the camera. I like to take moon shots. This camera does not appear to improve my photos.
I paid full price for my new phone and decided to keep my S22 Ultra rather than trade it in. I'm glad I did. Save your money, folks!
