[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So i dont normally do reviews i do however read reviews on almost everything I buy. That being said im not affiliated with Samsung at all other than just a satisfied, happy customer. The s25 ultra is actually the first phone I've ever bought as soon as it was released. Ive always had 2 to 3 models prior to the newest. This one somehow though, drew me into it. And i must say im glad it did. First and foremost the camera( cameras rather) on this phone, are phenomenal! There's so many options, lenses, great photo opportunities with this phone! It even has some sort of lens for astrophotography! Does the adjustments for you. And let me mention the a.i here quick. Wasnt too sure about it at first but after using it, its a definite yes! Really great phone, not gonna lie! I have no complaints at all!

a phone that could've been perfect
on August 20, 2025
Posted by: simplyacooluncle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i really wanted to love this phone. & that's not to say it isn't a great phone, because it is. it could've been perfect though. i have been always been a huge galaxy fan, especially since the s6 edge came out. awesome features, love the ai features especially when it comes to editing photos & such. however, it seems like every year we get less & less. no charging brick, no headphone jack, no sd card slot (which why, even?), oh, & also, removing the spen features from before. i personally really enjoyed using some of those, & did so every day. admittedly tho, one of the major gripes i have, i can't even mention here, because of the rules. would absolutely love to address it tho. as not only did it actually feel personal, even tho technically, no it wasn't. but it does majorly affect whether or not I'll be upgrading to the next galaxy when moving forward. as i stated before however, this is a really nice phone, & yes i would recommend it. i really hope things keep getting better & better moving forward. (also, bringing back some of the best features would be really nice). here's to hoping when moving forward with newer models, we don't continue with the trend of getting less while paying more). this has simply been as honest a review as possible, without being biased.

Best of the best!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S25 ultra is one of the best phones that I've ever used. From the camera to the battery life, it's almost untouched. I'm coming from having multiple phones from different brands as well as being a long time Samsung user from the original Galaxy. It's amazing to see how far the company has come.
There are only two things that this phone needs, better cameras and better battery life. The camera's are great but I feel the hardware is outdated. All cameras need a refresher. Especially selfie camera. In this social media driven times, we need the best of the best to capture those one of a lifetime moments. I feel that Samsung is one of the best but with a refresher, they will be untouchable. Battery life is good, but it could be slightly better. A little optimization and tweaks would do the trick or a 6000 mah silicone carbon battery would work too.
Galaxy AI is a beast! I've tried AI on other phones and they don't cut it at all. The noise cancelling alone that we're able to do while editing videos is amazing. I use this feature constantly. As well as circle to search and using circle to search for translation. It's amazing and saves so much time. On other phones, you have to screenshot then copy the text, put it into an app, then translate. Samsung makes everything so much easier with the press of a button.

Love this device
on August 20, 2025
Posted by: Dennis400
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had a lot of flagship phones and most have satisfied options but this is the first time I can say that I have no complaints about this device. The cameras are amazing, the AI is helpful when you want and gets out of the way when you don't, the screen is crystal clear and extremely bright with almost no glare or reflections (almost like e ink in direct sunlight), the processor gives you zero wait times and the memory will let you keep more programs open then you will ever need and the pen keeps me coming back every other year.
My only complaint is that they removed the SD card slot. There's NO good reason for that.
