Forced to upgrade from my Note 9 bc of apps, but I'm not happy with losing a headphone jack, a bluetooth s pen, a fingerprint reader that works on the first try, etc. I was a Samsung fan with the Note series, but I won't be raving about the Galaxy S Ultra.

I actually wasn't expecting a major upgrade from my 23 Ultra, but the 25 Ultra runs like a dream. The display looks so nice. The camera is even better. I'm very pleased with this phone.
Love the smooth feel of the scrolling as well as the flat screen. Somehow its easier to acces the side panel and of course screen protectors fit with less complication and waste. Just loving this phone. Not even gonna mention how the AI makes my questions easier and my searches way leas tedious. Complex yet uncomplicated at the same time.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent design, optimal performance, I have 3 weeks and I give it a heavy job and it responds, however, in times of inactivity the battery hurts to discharge quickly.

Love it~! WAY better than my last phone, plus it is SUPER fast / responsive! Though I know the Korean version has 16GB of ram option, I wasn't going to ask my spouses family to send me that only becuse of that. The 12GB version is awesome, though I do see the positive to the 16GB of Ram because the more apps you collect, the more it eats up ! Just be aware of that! Other than that, I LOVE this phone, plus it's smaller than the wifes S24!
I would recommend this to a friend!

A powerful phone for those that want one
on February 16, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 1. The phone has much better, less aggressive shape design in comparison to 2024's model. I think it pays homage to the Samsung A5 actually.
2. I love the camera and the quality. Better than what's on the market. 200 MP is simply amazing.
3. Now Brief is a good addition so far, helps with the minimalism we all seek on the lock screen. It could be a tad more useful when I expand it though, it seems to really be a little bit more of a weather app
4. Implementation of the new One UI is excellent. It makes things more succint regarding icons in the taskbar and whatnot
5. It fits nicely in male pockets, it's a delight to hold (due to its metal finish).
5. Stylus should've been bluetoothed
6. The phone does feel a little bit heavy and sore to hold after some time
7. Would've been awesome to have fingerprint recognition all over the screen or on a large portion of the screen's bottom half
8. The incorporation of AI is definitely a plus, but needs some work. Gemini works decently on the phone but it's not quite a true assistant, as it is more so just a really good search engine.
9. Translation of calls is a really good and welcome feature!
10. Screen quality and screen size is phenomenal. Same goes with the fast charging feature and battery use. Very impressive.
Overall, a high quality, flagship smartphone.

Audio Eraser is legit
on February 16, 2025
Posted by: OKCSteve
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the Samsung S21U, S23U and now the S25U and it's been mostly a worthwhile upgrade each time.
The S25U has better battery than my S24u but they dropped the Bluetooth feature for the Spen, SLIGHTLY smaller form factor while have just a bit larger display.
The AI features are nice as well. Audio Eraser and sketch to draw are pretty awesome
