I just went through most of the reviews on this phone, and while ATT is including "This review was collected as part of a promotion." in a LOT of the reviews, the five star ratings that they paid people to give are still counted toward the overal rating without being designated as a bought or purchased review. So ATT paid people for a good rating via the promotions, and then use those good ratings to gaslight y'all into beliving the product is better and is recomended by users, because they know not many people will read the reviews to see the "This review was collected as part of a promotion." disclaimer.
The paid for reviews need to be removed from the 5 star rating and the user recommendation and should be listed next to the real not purchased via promotion reviews.
This phone is also super intrusiv and it reads your messages to offer "personalised Calender expirences, it tracks your location which shows them what stores or resturants or anything else you go to, it even tracks what other phones(and therefor people) and devices are around you, it tracks who you call, when, and how long you speak to them, and it even monitors your microphone. I would love to be able to use these cool features like asking what plant this is or anything else, but this level of invasivness without explaining that to customers and teens who don't understand this is gross. Google can now use the profile they built on you for any of their other services, and good luck when google has another security breach.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very pleased with the quality of the phone. Fast, great camera and battery is lasting longer than previous versions. I needed a new one after my S22 Ultra's charging port stopped working. This port actually "clicks" when you put the cable in which I love.
I switched from fhe S23 Ultra to the S25 ultra and absolutely Love that I made the choice! The S25 Ultra has the same amazing features as the S23 with new added features! I would definately recommend!
