Solid Phone for S22 Users and Older
on April 24, 2025
Posted by: brandnewbie
from USA
Expertise:Intermediate
This phone is generally better than the S22U I upgraded from, in basically every way, except the S Pen which is only an issue for photography; I used that function for taking 10x+ zoom photos, which I don't do often but is useful for taking photos of birds and animals which I like to do. With that one complaint out of the way, this is a very fast phone, and it is very customizable, while not overloading you with options, and giving useful tools to navigate the settings (highlighting the relevant setting to effect an apps function is SO helpful). The new notifications menu is great, and the "Now Bar" is actually more useful than a dynamic island because it's at the bottom of the screen. The screen is also noticeably better, but the main way that's appreciable is I don't have to hide my phone from direct sunlight in order to use the screen which is fantastic but a lack of friction isn't as obvious as a new menu screen. I also notice the battery life is better, probably 20% improvement on the S22U new, and closer to 50% more battery now, comparing the old S22U to the new S25U.
I will say I use Google services almost exclusively, Chrome for browsing, Drive and its suite for productivity, YT and YT music for entertainment and the new Samsung UI fits it quite well at least in terms of home screen aesthetics.
1 feature I wish Samsung added is customization to widget stacks swiping (mine swipe horizontally and I want to stack them to vertically). And it'd be nice to lock app permissions/removal within the native settings/app preferences & perms rather than having to set up Knox (if that can even lock certain perms without biometrics, IDK haven't set it up).
One more thing, the Tab Ultra line needs the keyboard to have a slight tilt to it, so you can fit a battery and BT in it, to give the keyboard the ability to extend the tabs battery life, and also allowing you to use the keyboard undocked, which turns it into a mobile desktop type unit, if I got bt speakers with stereo capabilities, it's theater-esque, or even just with good headphones for single person use.

Stylus downgrade (no camera trigger)
on April 24, 2025
Posted by: snoozer
from Uk
Expertise:Expert
Was disappointed when after getting this phone I find the stylus no longer triggers the camera!! the feature that made taking pictures much easier in a natural standing way is now gone!!! Can someone let Samsung know it was a bad idea to remove the camera trigger button on the stylus! a watch or ring is not a good substitute for that feature. Will return this phone and get the S24 Ultra instead,
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

NOT GOOD
on April 24, 2025
Posted by: Niks
from National Harbor, MD
Expertise:Expert
This review is for a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
My last phone with the Samsung Galaxy S10. I love that phone but I dropped it and cracked the screen & instead of fixing the phone I bought this phone and I am not happy. I live in a condo on the 2nd floor, of 7 floors. I get a lot of drop calls. The dictation does not work as well as my last phone. My biggest issue is the voice command. I have to unlock my phone in order to get a response. And usually when I lock my phone I have to ask google the same question over. On my samsung galaxy S10, my former phone I was able to say, hey, google, turn the AC to 75 degrees and it would do it. But the samsung galaxy s25, It says, you have to unlock your phone, which is a great inconvenience, because a lot of times I'm half sleep and I have to find my phone. My Samsung Galaxy S10 worked a lot better. It answer almost all commands.
It's capability was just better.

Better to skip this generation.

Posted by: Disappointed Customer
from Florida
Expertise:Expert
Bought 30th of January. This phone lacks and I feel i got ripped off. Camera WAS good and now I'm doing warranty because it no longer works. Pen was a huge disappointment. It's fast but that's it. UI is terrible and seems more difficult than what it needs to be. AI isn't worth losing a 24 ultra.

Awful camera, the far is so horrible, and it is a ridiculous that cannot have the smart pen as the 23th version. Everything was even better on the S23 Ultra even the speed, this 25th version has a lot of glitches.
