Overly Edited Camera
on January 4, 2026
Posted by: Tom1
The 1 terabyte of storage space is extremely useful and the stylus inside the phone is very neat to use too. The screen is very high quality and allows for very crisp video viewing online. However, I do not recommend this phone to anyone. The advertising for the camera is completely false. Low quality "AI" post-processing is applied to all photos making all photos and videos very low quality. Every photo and video looks overly smoothed. Skin has no detail. The post-processing is so bad that even the shape of eyes gets messed up. This is all after turning intelligent optimization to minimum in an attempt to make the photos look less edited. If you value high-quality photos and videos do not purchase this phone.

No adapter provided with the box. It's pathetic when you have to pay extra to get a compatible power adapter which is out of stock most of the time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A Swing and a MISS...
on January 3, 2026
Posted by: Charlie
from Virginia Beach, Va
Expertise:Intermediate
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.

I actually wasn't expecting a major upgrade from my 23 Ultra, but the 25 Ultra runs like a dream. The display looks so nice. The camera is even better. I'm very pleased with this phone.
Also, avoid the Galaxy 22 like the plague.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Forced to upgrade from my Note 9 bc of apps, but I'm not happy with losing a headphone jack, a bluetooth s pen, a fingerprint reader that works on the first try, etc. I was a Samsung fan with the Note series, but I won't be raving about the Galaxy S Ultra.
