I've been using galaxy with S-pan for 10-15 yrs. The phone is just awesome in all ways -- the note app with samsung's voice-enabled keyboard is a new level of awesomeness. The ability to have 2 apps open next to each other is amazing -- I usually open chatgpt with instructions and another app where I'm using those instructions lol! The rest of android features, like modes & routines, google pay etc work seamlessly.
I just don't see much difference in past phones. I only bought this to get the extra storage. Samsung really lowered themselves when they took away the ability to buy storage with SD cards. Plus I miss the days when you could plug in headphones instead of Bluetooth. Pay attention, because corporations are taking away choices for us.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I reviewed this earlier. Transferring all apps went smooth. E sim encountered a problem. Somehow it look like it was connected to a network. Doing network reset, was the fix but it wasn't in the instructions. A search had this suggestion.
The transition to this new phone has been anything but great. I don't know if I got a dud so to speak but I've been having problems with Bluetooth and other connections. Didn't have any problems like this with my s24

Crisper images, but I miss the S23 Ultra’s vibrant
on December 29, 2025
Posted by: trpnfly
I recently upgraded from the S23 Ultra to the S25 Ultra, and I find myself feeling a bit disappointed by the camera's color science. While I knew I was trading away some zoom power, I didn't realize I would also be losing the signature "pop" of the S23.
Even when viewing photos on my laptop to rule out screen differences, the S23 images remain much more vibrant. The S25 Ultra certainly produces crisper, more detailed shots, but the colors feel muted and flat by comparison. I’ve tried adjusting every filter and setting available, but I just can’t replicate that bright, lively look I loved. If you prefer natural tones, you'll love this camera, but if you enjoy Samsung’s traditional vivid style, it's a bit of a letdown.
