Yearly trade in dissapointment
on March 10, 2025
Posted by: YearlyTradeIn
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For years, I've been a loyal Samsung flagship trader, eagerly anticipating each new model. The S25 Ultra, however, marks a shift. My usual excitement is tempered by a sense of "is this all?"
Historically, each upgrade brought noticeable advancements. This time, the changes feel subtle, more refinement than revolution. The removal of the S Pen's Bluetooth feature, a personal favorite, was a baffling step backward. It’s a small detail, but indicative of a lack of bold innovation.
The touted AI features, while present, felt underwhelming. Live translate and photo editing are handy, but not transformative. I hoped for more.
Battery technology, a key area of focus for competitors, felt stagnant. I expected advances in charging speed and efficiency. Instead, the battery experience remained largely unchanged.
The camera, as always, delivers excellent results, but the improvements are incremental. The display is superb, but again, it's an evolution, not a radical leap.
In essence, the S25 Ultra is a refined version of its predecessor, lacking the “wow” factor I expect. It’s a great phone, but the upgrades don’t justify the annual trade-in cost for me this year. For the first time, I'm questioning if the "upgrades" were truly worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can't complain, I had the s24 ultra and it almost always froze because of the apps I had.But with the s25 ultra I don't have those problems, I like its design. I'm very happy with the purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra – The Ultimate Flagship
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is a powerhouse, delivering top-tier performance, a stunning 6.9" Dynamic AMOLED 2X display (144Hz, WQHD+), and a sleek premium design. Powered by the Exynos 2500/Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, it handles everything effortlessly, from gaming to multitasking. The 200MP quad-camera system captures breathtaking photos, and the 5,500mAh battery with super-fast charging keeps you going all day. With S Pen support and Samsung’s best software experience, this is the ultimate smartphone for power users. A true flagship in every sense!

Phone is great. Bring back Bluetooth S-Pen
on March 10, 2025
Posted by: JRAM20
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Phone is great, battery lasts longer than my S24 ultra. Clarity noted on the camera. But the S-Pen is no longer Bluetooth. Meaning it's just a stylet now. I used to do so much with the Bluetooth S-Pen. This is upsetting and makes the phone "cheaper". Bring back the S-Pen.

Great device, but it could be better.
on March 10, 2025
Posted by: LaOrcaMode
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S25 Ultra is an excellent and complete device in most of its sections.
As a positive feature, it highlights its excellent screen, which demonstrates premium quality.
Its audio section is very powerful and of high quality.
Its exceptional power also makes it a very powerful device. Very useful for games.
Now his bad things. The S25 Ultra has removed many features from its past generation, which when paying for such an expensive device, expect them to put everything in.
Like for example, their s pen. they remove all the functionalities related to Bluetooth. It is also very delicate and its construction is of poor quality very poor .

Amazing screen and battery life
on March 10, 2025
Posted by: Screeeeeen
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such an amazing upgrade from the s23 ultra. I was hesitant at first to give up my 10x zoom and Bluetooth s-pen. The screen is not talked about enough. It is gorgeous inside and outside. The battery life is incredible and the audio eraser is great. My only gripe is the s-pen. I choose the ultra because of the bigger screen, cameras and s-pen and for no apparent reason they took away the Bluetooth functionality of the s-pen. Such a bummer. The now brief is a little gimmicky but I think once I get used to it it will be nice to have

The best Samsung phone yet!
on March 10, 2025
Posted by: Aeroshep1
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing I will say about it is the ⁴shape. Instead of the hard sharp corners, they are rounded slightly for a better feel. The next thing you'll see is the screen. There are not issues that previous models had, and the S series is the only low glare screen. That is a game changer when working outside. The battery gets through an entire day. I'll expect that it will improve soon as it learns my habits. The camera system is slightly improved. There is more detail and less washout in the pictures.
The only drawback I see in this phone, which is on all other Samsung phones is the inability in camera auto mode catch fast moving objects without blue. There should be a simple firmware fix that could stop this from happening nearly All of the time. Manual settings allowed to change Shutter and ISO. This could be automatic.
All in all this is a great phone. I upgraded it from the S24 Ultra which I thought was a solid phone as well.
