The s pen has become completely useless
on October 30, 2025
Posted by: Krazy2h8
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always loved the ultra because of the features the s pen provided but the galaxy s25 ultra completely ruined that by removing the air commands. I used to LOVE being able to use my s pen... the only reason I rated this phone 2 stars instead of one is bc of the camera and AI picture and video options.. samsungs failure to utilize the S pen has made the ultra a complete failure bc its now just an over priced version of the galaxy plus.

Useless S pen on the ultra 25
on November 5, 2025
Posted by: Ultra
from Michigan
Expertise:Intermediate
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.

Terrible Voicemail.
on November 12, 2025
Posted by: Donald0331
I cannot stand the voice mail. It takes you 10 minutes to listen to your voice mails. It reads off times and data, AND spells out the phone number AND tells you how long the message. All of which you will know if you could just listen to your voice mail without a 10 minute prompt.

Worth the trade-in
on December 13, 2025
Posted by: Tleezy79
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was hesitate to trade in my S22 Ultra for the the S25 ultra. But due to the sale and trade in offer I couldn't refuse. I am very glad as the phone does everything the S22 could but better, faster, and more crisp.
The galaxy Ai is something I use many times a day. Any question that comes to my mind I just hold my side button and ask. They say the most successful people will be the ones who use AI the best.
Overall very pleased with the S25 Ultra and look forward to any future updates. It is a very capable phone.

I have had no issues with my phone. The only downside is most of the samsung apps cannot be Uninstalled, and the fact that the stylus is considered an accessory and as a result does not come with a warrenty.
I would 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.

To be honest, it's uncomfortable to use at all. The battery is dying quickly. This is not the Samsung I was once in love with.
