[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming from the Galaxy S22 Ultra, this new S25 Ultra is a proper upgrade. For me, the biggest welcome improvement is the completely flat screen, and tiny bezels. No more accidental touches, or inaccurate pen writing. The second biggest improvement for me is the new Snapdragon 8 Elite beast of a processor, it handles multitasking like a dream. There are tons of other great features that make this an awesome upgrade from the S22 Ultra, like the upgraded cameras, tons of AI power, seamless actions across apps, the constantly updated throughout the day Now Brief, and the Audio Eraser feature in the video editor. The titanium body, Gorilla Glass Armor 2, and the fantastic battery life are just cherries on top. A highly recommend top-of-the-line 2025 smart phone, especially if you're coming from an S22 or older phone.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to be a top-tier flagship smartphone. It will likely feature a large, high-resolution Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with an adaptive refresh rate and premium design, possibly with a titanium frame. Performance will be driven by a powerful Snapdragon and ample RAM. The camera system will be a key focus, with a high-resolution main sensor and improved AI capabilities. It will run the latest Android version with One UI and offer features like Samsung DeX. A large battery and fast charging are expected. Overall, the S25 Ultra aims to be the best Android smartphone, offering a premium experience at a premium price.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgrade every year and this was the first year that I considered switching to One Plus. I have had the Ultras since they came into the product line and before that had Galaxy Plus going back to the S5.
The S25 Ultra - I like the flat screen and curved corners. I do not like that the battery size stayed the same and that we lost the S Pen Bluetooth functionality.
The cameras also didn't make any great leaps forward. As a whole I feel like Samsung has slowed down since the S23 and that not enough gains are taking place to justify the purchase.
I don't regret it but I don't see any major differences and some losses.
I also still miss built in mag stripe technology to pay with credit cards on older terminals. And the IR blaster. Just a lot of tech that has left over the years
I hope that the S26 Ultra will be a significant improvement and look forward to the flip gaining solid cameras and the fold being thinner and thinner.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Inital impression looking at all the texh reviews prior is not enough until you experience the phone yourself. Between one UI 7's speed, upgrades to the camera adding an AI stabilizer, better night mode, audio remover...and so much more. I like the idea of "the brief" mode. Although a bit lackluster at the moment but know Samsung i can't wait to see where they take it. All in all and absolute beast of a phone and a fun upgrade from the last series.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used the Galaxy S25 Ultra for a few weeks now and I enjoy it everyday. I was surprised how fast it charges and how long it last per charge. Now Brief feature is great addition to the phone and hope it keeps on improving as time goes on. Gemini integrated to samsung is another step to improving samsung products. Circle to search is still great feature that has come to the Samsung phones which makes it easier to find products online.
