[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I switched from the S23 Ultra to the new S25 Ultra. I really like the new screen design, while the curved screen had a nice wow factor it was always susceptible to scratches and cracking due to cases not being able to be higher than the screen. Even after applying a UV adhesive glass screen to the S23 it still cracked underneath the that glass. I also dind the S25 to be lighter and operation seems smoother. Really enjoying my upgrade.
THEY FORCE YOU TO USE THE APP SCREEN IN VERTICAL MODE ALPHABETICALLY now not leaving an automatic sort function while viewing the app drawer horizontal. Trying to return to a horizontal app drawer means custom sort or you moving every single app where you want them. Lame that they changed that after a dozen yearsthe other way. The exact opposite of every Samsung before this. ALMOST ALL GOOD LOCK (HOME UP, NAV UP) DO NOT WORK so we can't fix the app drawer problem or customize away the forced nav bar hint as if we dont know where the bottom of the screen is. IVE HAD EVWRY RELEASE SINCE THE S2 EPIC 4G TOUCH AND THIS FEELS LIKE AN UPGRADE TO REMOVE FEATURES to mimic another cetain company device all the way down to the physical design of it. Feels good and snappy bit the one UI7 is not that great. Also assistant is what you want to use for your phone to actually do things for you the gemini ad thing is just an ad. Most of the time the gemini tells me he doesn't know how to do that yet (if I ask to open an app, for instance).
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Todo perfecto. Lo que mas me gusta es la pantalla plana, yo llevaba tiempo esperando un ultra con pantalla plana
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would use the amazing camera to capture perfect moments with my family and friends while playing games and watching TV with the high speed of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra I would be so grateful to be able to own a highly desirable phone such as the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra but the price is not affordable sadly
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love it. I needed to upgrade from my S22 ultra and I didn't find anything better than the s25 ultra. And I love it so much. I just wished for more colors
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy s25 Ultra has met all my expectations. It has been a great overdue upgrade my Galaxy S21 Ultra.
So far all the feature have been an upgrade. Having the stylus is a big plus. It runs very smooth and has had no issues so far. The battery is very good, usually from normal use during the day it goes down to about 60%. Th AI features are a big plus.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am impressed, camera, storage , able to clean up videos from years ago. Thought it was gonna take me longer signing into apps. It was better than I thought. just switched my Sim card and go. It won me over.
