[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] מכשיר נהדר עם עיצוב יותר נוח לשימוש יומיומי, לפני זה היה לי את ה-24 אולטרה, ולפני זה 22 אולטרה, לפני זה 21 אולטרה, העיצוב שיש עכשיו הוא ממש שינוי גדול ונוח מאוד, המערכת ו עדכונים החדשים ממש מוצלחים ועושים את המכשיר למאוד נוח לשימוש יומיומי, כל העניין של ה-ai ממש מוצלח, נותן חוויה מאוד גבוהה ויוקרתית, לא סתם בחרתי מכשיר פרימיום, יש חיסרון אחד: הסוללה, בשימוש יומיומי עם האוזניות גלקסי באדס שלוש פרו, הסוללה מתרוקנת לאחר שימוש ממושך, הייתי מאוד שמח לשיפור בעניין הסוללה, חוץ מזה זה המכשיר שאני קניתי גם לי אבא שלי, הוא שדרג ממכשיר ישן מאוד, גלקסי s9, והוא ממש נהנה מהמכשיר ומכל האופציות, כמובן שאני המלצתי גם לחברים וקרובים שלי.
I sent this phone back. I wouldn't have even purchased if I'd have known beforehand. Why take away an established functionality? I hope it's brought back in the future. We take a lot of group photos and the S-pen (Harry Potter wand as I call it) is my favorite part. I hope to be able to have it on a newer phone in the future. Until then I'll use my S23 until someone slows it down to nonworking condition.

Hi there Star Mom, thank you for sharing your feedback on your Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. We know how important the ability to use your camera from a distance is to you for so many amazing moments you want to capture. We have shared a link to the complete manual for your device, that highlight the ways you can use hand gestures and voice commands to do these same tasks. We have shared a link to the Samsung Support Team who can answer any questions you may have about your Samsung products, and we appreciate you being a Samsung customer. -Elizabeth Product Manuals https://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/ Samsung Support smsng.us/Samsung-Support Samsung Community smsng.us/Samsung-Community Facebook smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger X https://smsng.us/X-Messages
I purchased the Galaxy S24 Ultra (or S25 Ultra) expecting full use of the S Pen—including the remote camera shutter function (press the S Pen button to take a photo while holding the phone at a distance). For previous models this worked well. For example, Samsung’s official documentation for the S24 Ultra states that you can set the S Pen button as “Take picture” under Settings → Advanced features → S Pen → Air actions.
However, with the S25 Ultra (and apparently future models), the S Pen no longer supports the Bluetooth/remote shutter function. Samsung themselves confirm the new S Pen is non-Bluetooth enabled and does not support the remote photo shutter feature.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung nailed it. My S25 ultra feels like a smart assistant glued to my palm. Modes and Routines kick in without me thinking, shifting profiles when I arrive at work, start the car, or walk back through my front door. Focus mode snaps distractions shut when I need to grind. Galaxy AI quietly amplifies everything, from circle to search and live translation to transcript summaries and smart photo tools that save me a lot of time. The camera and high resolution videos are ridiculous, crisp enough that work clips and family moments looks studio clean. Day to day, it is the little quality of life touches that add up, from smooth performance to the way it just knows what im trying to do. I wanted a phone that gets out of the way and helps me live better, faster, and calmer. This is it. 10/10
