Best Galaxy phone experience so far!
on March 26, 2026
Posted by: Chip60
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Galaxy phones since 2009, this S25 Ultra is the best one yet. I was looking for an update for my S23 and I choose the S25 Ultra for it's larger size, the onboard stylus, and the much improved camera. I'm getting older so the larger screen size & fonts along with the stylus make it much easier to navigate and read vs my old phone. I do some nature photography as a hobby, so the enhanced camera features are big deal for me.
I was sceptical about Galaxy AI at first, but it has been a pleasant surprise. I have used its photography features as well as the webpage summary feature. It makes things a lot easier!
I'm really happy with the Galaxy S25 Ultra!

Slow phone
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: Joemama
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Phone is very slow, for the cost of what I paid for it does not match. Has a hard time staying update or fighting off scam calls or scam alerts itself.

All Around Amazing Phone
on April 2, 2026
Posted by: pocadot98
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well, for starters, the camera is amazing just like all the other Galaxy-S's have been. The screen is large and the colors/visuals are great. Audio is AMAZING. It's really fast with plenty of storage. It's what a phone should be. I use my cell phone mostly for gaming, and it does SO well, no lag, no lack in the audio or pixels or graphics... I also use my cell for work related things, like photos, using the web, Google, Bixby, etc. Galaxy AI is very helpful as it can answer a lot of my questions. Every generation of these phones gets greater and greater and I'm excited to see what the S26 is all about!!

The decline of Samsung
on April 4, 2026
Posted by: Annie
I’m giving the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra one star specifically because of the camera behavior, which is fundamentally broken for anyone who knows how to take a photo.
When I tap to focus on a subject, the phone does not consistently respect that input. It will often switch lenses or refocus at the moment the photo is taken, resulting in a completely different image than the one I composed. This leads to blurry or misfocused photos, even when I’ve clearly selected my subject.
This is not user error, it’s the software overriding deliberate input. A camera should treat focus selection as a command, not a suggestion. I'm sure somebody's patent themselves on the back for this but you shouldn't. It is user hostile.
The aggressive auto lens switching and focus “optimization” actively interfere with both casual and intentional photography. Even point-and-shoot users are affected, because the device can change focus mid-capture.
The only reliable workaround is to use Pro mode or manually lock focus, which defeats the purpose of having an advanced automatic camera system.
This is a design flaw, not a feature. Until Samsung allows users to fully disable automatic lens switching and forces the camera to respect focus lock, the camera experience is inconsistent and frustrating. A flagship device should not require manual override just to take a basic, in-focus photo.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I would put 0 star, horrible experience, the moment my warranty ended the camera focus start shaking and making noise, I tried to get help from Samsung but no help at all, for very expensive phone they don't want to take responsibility for selling faulty product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My phone's speed, fluidity, and AI Galaxy features are simply amazing! It's a lifesaver for research, writing, and the call interpreter is a game-changer.

Love my 25 Ultra!
on April 11, 2026
Posted by: Sympris
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Long time samsung phone user here. The big screen size is great, the multitasking capabilities are part of why I keep going with the samsung "note" (changed to ultra I guess now). There are newer features that they have integrated with AI and they work as intended. Always love the camera on these phones, evry picture looks amazing. I got the 25 Ultra and have had it for almost a year now. It works great, no complaints!!!
