Love this phone. Wish it wasn't so big but i'm getting used to that part.And I knew it was going to be that way before I got it. I love that I finally am able to have space for pictures and videos.And the store and restaurant apps that I need on my phone. For years, I keep having to delete stuff from my phone, including apps that I needed.So that I could take pictures when an event came up. Then, I would have to take the pictures off my phone after the event. So crazy. I like the feel of this phone also. And the crystal clear screen.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A Swing and a MISS...

I purchased 2 - S25 Ultra, so I get 2 reviews. I dropped down yet another star on this review and here is why: Samsung is in such a hurry to pump these out, their quality control is at best sub-par. I've purchased 2 brand new s25 Ultra (me and wife) and that I can't use the "Hey Google" feature (regardless of Google or Gemini) it does not pick it up by verbal command. If I have to press the side button to get it to wake up, the whole hands-free approach is just a wash. Brand new... the price of these phone should suggest PERFECTION. However, it's okay if you only forsake a given % of customers, all else is fine. So tired of paying premium and getting used quality. This is why 1 star on this review, 2 stars on the other. Samsung, step it up. It's only your name your shoving in the mud. And please, it's a KNOWN problem and yet, no patch, no fix...Just "deal with it." I don't need to ask a forum, we all know those of us that have the junk phones, we already know. No fix. No patch. Resetting does not work.
SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!....do not waste on this model. S25 ultra is sub-par.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Trading up from a Note 8, I had no idea how far things have progressed. Speed, display, sound, all are advanced. It's a superior product to my neighbor's brand new "other" brand. They are envious.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This phone is a Downgrade not an Upgrade
on January 18, 2026
Posted by: Blah
No Bluetooth functions on S pen make it useless junk. Not worth the upgrade. Been using Samsung since the galaxy s3 and one of my favorite upgrades in the later years was the functional s pen. Now it's useless and I'm regretting my upgrade. I rate the phone a 2 out of 10 only because it looks nice but overall its really a downgrade from my s23. The battery, camera, display, Bluetooth S pen and all other functions of my s23 ultra were way better than what I now have with the s25 ultra.

Super nice the black titanium is amazing and both in looks and durability. Everything you expect from a flagship except it seems there taking premium features away such as the Bluetooth pen. I rarely used it but expect it on a flagship. I also have the s24 pretty indistinguishable changes except for the rounding of the edges.
