Disappointed

I love so much about this phone. The display is beautiful, the battery is great, it's faster and stays cooler. However, it loses 2 stars for the pen. I'm part of the (supposed) 1% that used my s pen for air commands. Losing that functionality with my camera, music, and other systems had me strongly considering returning the phone and keeping my s22. I've bought Notes and Ultras for years because of the S pen functions. If I wanted to use a stylus, I'd buy a basic phone and stylus. Also, the pen itself feels cheap, like it'll break in my hand if I just grip it too hard.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Downgrade from S22u. Returning my upgrade. The device is fast but is backwards in advancement. Compared to competitors at this stage, this doesn't deserve the ultra badge. This lost the Bluetooth spen key differentiator.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A downgrade from previous generations
on May 1, 2025
Posted by: KonnieKay

I went into the flagship ultra line because the S25 Ultra Carried with it incredible specs compared to the plus and standard lineup's. Alas, I was met with an overpriced flagship that can't keep up with it's predecessors in terms of Camera functionality and system stability. I'm sure that the bugs will be fixed in the future, however, compared to its competition, the S25 Ultra falls short on its image post processing. System volume through Bluetooth is also not for the hearing impaired as it's incredibly quiet through any headphones or Car radio connected to it. I think I may return to view my options to switch out of this phone as it's incredibly disappointing for how little I got for my money. Not to mention Samsung removing the shutter functionality on the S-Pen is kind of a deal breaker for this device as even the AI is limited and doesn't showcase much. When a previous gen has better image processing than the latest and Greatest tech. What worse is that Samsung doesn't seem to really care for addressing the issues in systems that their consumers use most as the camera issues seem to be an ongoing issue. I think Samsung should check their competitors software and learn a thing or two.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great follow and real introduction to AI

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Switching to this phone from a foldable device offered a refreshing change in user experience. The stylus feels incredibly precise and responsive on the flat display, making note-taking and sketching a breeze. The new features enhance productivity and creativity in ways I hadn't expected. This device seamlessly integrates into my daily workflow, simplifying tasks and boosting efficiency. It's a truly remarkable piece of technology that has exceeded my expectations.

Poor battery
on April 29, 2025
Posted by: Questioning
Expertise:Intermediate
I've never seen new products have such a poor battery life. From the first full charge the brand new phone and watch don't stay charged as long as my 5-year old phone and watch which is absolutely wild and has made me reconsider if this was a good choice and if I will continue buying these products. Even barely using my phone, it dies so quickly, I'm now a two phone person so that I can use my old phone when I need to and the new one is just there if I get a text or call, I'm excited to use it on vacation for photos but I'm worried it won't last long once I start taking pictures, god forbid i need it for navigating. Pretty frustrating. It's too bad I can't use my old watch to track the health apps because it's battery is better too even though it's old.
