[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my phone for both work and personal use. I've had Samsungs before, namly the original S, S3, S7, S8, S20+ 5G, and now the S25+. My S20+ still works and love the interface on there but it is no longer supported so for a brief moment I tried the Pixel Fold. Had a lot of hardware issues with that phone so I went back to Samsung.
The S25+ is what I chose to match what I had before, just the new model. The hardware is superb! Extremely quick and the fingerprint reader is quick too. The cameras with the Galaxy AI features work well, especially the processing on the 30x zoom.
Where this model falls short is One UI 7.0/8.0. the software is a step backwards and has less flexibility and function from the One UI on the S20+. The most annoying item is the notification menu and controls. I switched the setting to Together mode to make it closer to Android philosophy, in general. However, the large bubbles, the controls I cannot remove, and the way it stacks notifications is annoying and less functional than any other Android phone I have used. For example, if Gmail has multiple emails, I am forced to click the stack, then click the specific email I want, and then it will open that email. Rather than before, where I could click the whole stack to open Gmail and review them all in the Gmail app OR expand the notification and select the email to open or preview. It is a small thing that requires an extra tap now that over the course of the day is noticable.

Best phone I've owned

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finally got my dream phone!!! got it 1 month ago and still no issues AT ALL, Super good phone I recommend this phone for sure. Ever since I got it there has been no issues, and no lag. The phone overall doesn't overheat unless used for gaming, Also the Galaxy AI future is great, I love that it removes the background audio from your video and the Galaxy AI eraser makes your pictures look way better OR the remaster. Also the camera quality is just perfect, Super natural its not to dark or to bright, Super smooth 120Hz Amoled display, I also like the customization oon this phone , you can change the home screen to whatever you imagine. Overall... its a really good phone and I recommend it 100 percent.
Phone is Amazing. Never been disappointed with Samsung. Love the pictures it takes.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my main source of communication with the world. I use it for work and also for personal stuff. I like the fact that I can download any app and connect to the things I need to. My favorite part is that I could do my school work on my phone with no glitch.
