Samsung phones are not as good as they used to be by a fair shot. More hype than solid performance.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has been a profound disappointment after nine months, proving that premium hardware cannot fix a fundamentally compromised user experience.
Critical Failures
Unacceptable Ads: The most significant flaw is the aggressive and pervasive presence of advertisements. Ads are integrated into core system apps, including the Samsung Messages app and the Galaxy Store. For a flagship device commanding this price, this practice is disrespectful to the customer and ruins the premium feel.
Frustrating Navigation: The back navigation gesture is poorly implemented, especially on a phone of this size. It results in constant accidental touches, disrupting workflow and causing daily frustration.
The S25 Ultra's powerful specs are overshadowed by its fragmented, ad-ridden software and inconsistent user controls. Anyone considering a purchase is strongly advised to reconsider. This is a costly mistake, not a superior experience

Major disappointment 😞
on December 1, 2025
Posted by: SeantakesNY
Expertise:Expert
Disappointed. I'm a galaxy user since the S1. Two days ago I purchased this phone in order to upgrade from the 2nd S22Ultra i owned since I cant handle the poor battery on it and to avoid another phone that will bootloop and get the motherboard fried up. When i turned on the S25U I noticed a downgrade in camera. Display. Bluetooth S-pen. The Display colors are dull and grayish even when on vivid and adjusted. It does gets brighter but thats all. The selfie camera is a major disappointment. I look like im wearing makeup and I am a male. It makes me look pale and im non-white person. The quality is below average . The back cameras are better but still it make me look pale. No warmth . It changes my skin tone to white Grey something I cant explain. Video calls are a no no because of how I look. When comparing it to the S22ULTRA its a huge downgrade. It Feels like it relays more on software than hardware with the cameras on this new device. On the positive side. The battery is excellent. I am able to go straight 8 hours of heavy use until it gets to 30%. Even so. I decided to return the device this morning. Before i did that I compared selfie and main cameras on my 3 generations ago without a doubt the S25Ultra had the poorest performance. I went ahead and switched brand which i cannot mention on the review here. I hope they pull it off with the S26ultra. I will be trying it at the store before purchasing anything. Start innovating. Bring back Bluetooth connectivity to the Spen. Bring back punchy beautiful display colors. Better sensors that wont relay on software. Better selfie camera. I want to see my true skin tone not a powedered person. I hope that helps.

Great everyday performance!
on February 7, 2025

Expertise:Expert
Okay, aside from the removal of Bluetooth from the S-Pen, this phone is super great! The jet-black titanium finish makes it look sleek. I would definitely recommend this phone to others, whether they are coming from another platform or still using a Galaxy device from 3-5+ years ago. Can't go wrong with this phone! 👌
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Device has exceptional fluidity
on March 20, 2025
Posted by: Highlevel4ever
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This device is extremely fast at executing open commands. It is seamless in it's ability to work with multiple applications. AI is another feature that has been integrated seamlessly into the device, Great job Samsung at getting that right. Battery life is also very good for a full day of continuous use. The camera features are also above that of other competitors. The ability to work within the camera environment is exceptional.
