25 ULTRA DOWNGRADED
on May 30, 2025
Posted by: SCRUFF
Expertise:Expert
I cannot willingly recommend the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Although I upgraded from the Note 9 and recognize the obvious improvements, the simple fact is that this phone has been consciously downgraded in several key areas.
Let me start with the lack of a Bluetooth S Pen. That feature was standard even on my old Note 9. How does an "upgrade" lose features?
Next, there’s no MagSafe-style capability. Despite all the advancements in fast charging, Samsung has now chosen not to include a charging brick, and the included charging cable with the S25 Ultra is incredibly short. It no longer reaches from the wall to my chair, whereas all previous cables did.
Also—though this has been the case for a few releases—it still baffles me: with over 95% of the population being right-handed, why on earth is the S Pen stored on the left side of the phone? It’s an incredibly poor design choice from a usability standpoint.
There’s no memory card slot, and the earlier removal of the LED notification indicator remains a downgrade in my opinion.
Samsung has not listened to its customer base, and it shows.
I will be returning this phone immediately. While I purchased it through my carrier, I wanted Samsung to see this review as well. I highly doubt I’ll return to this manufacturer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently switched from the galaxy A16 to the galaxy s 25 ultra cause I really love the s series galaxy phones. Very reliable and durable. I have to say the A16 is a very nice phone for the price. If I had to go bak to any other phone it would be the A16. Nice job Samsung!!!

Is Not A "Step Up" With Performance And Battery
on June 2, 2025

Unfortunately, I feel for the price paid with phone trade in, the performance of the phone and battery is not too great. I liked my S22 and S24 Ultra better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Samsung s25 Ultra is light and quick!
on June 7, 2025
Posted by: Brum68
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Ultra device serves both my personal and professional needs. It excels at managing emails, attachments, and notes, and its convenient phone storage is a plus. The AI features are enjoyable; the photo capabilities are impressive, but I especially value the email writing assistance.

Easily the best phone I've ever had!

Posted by: BabySlick
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing's camera is insane. It is so much faster than any of my friends' phones when there is bad service area. I love the Galaxy AI Feature, which helps me solve complicated problems and helps me navigate life and in a smoother fashion. No need to purchase chat GBT or any other AI software subscriptions when your phone comes with such great capabilities like my S25 Ultra
