[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So what is don't like in this phone is the complete flat screen I liked curved but it was not going to happen and also spen dosent have the Bluetooth
This is a massive upgrade from the S21 Ultra. The overall performance is excellent, and the lightweight build is a big plus. I really like the square design-it feels modern and comfortable to use. The rear camera is an absolute beast; nothing comes close to it.
The only downside I’ve noticed is the front camera, especially during WhatsApp video calls. The S21 Ultra still performs better in that area, with sharper, higher-resolution selfies and video quality. Aside from this front camera downgrade, I’d rate the phone very highly.
Love the product. Always had the note or version that has a stylus pen. I do miss the curved edges though. Hope thry never get rid of the stylus feature
I would recommend this to a friend!

I missed having my SPen. So happy with my new 25S Ultra. Battery life is amazing. Even the sound quality from phone speakers is pretty great. My car computer died so I've been cranking my tunes directly from the phone. Of course picture quality is beautiful. As always, Samsung. I've been a Samsung user since I got off my Blackberry all those years ago. I'm still happy with their devices!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Major disappointment 😞

Disappointed. I'm a galaxy user since the S1. Two days ago I purchased this phone in order to upgrade from the 2nd S22Ultra i owned since I cant handle the poor battery on it and to avoid another phone that will bootloop and get the motherboard fried up. When i turned on the S25U I noticed a downgrade in camera. Display. Bluetooth S-pen. The Display colors are dull and grayish even when on vivid and adjusted. It does gets brighter but thats all. The selfie camera is a major disappointment. I look like im wearing makeup and I am a male. It makes me look pale and im non-white person. The quality is below average . The back cameras are better but still it make me look pale. No warmth . It changes my skin tone to white Grey something I cant explain. Video calls are a no no because of how I look. When comparing it to the S22ULTRA its a huge downgrade. It Feels like it relays more on software than hardware with the cameras on this new device. On the positive side. The battery is excellent. I am able to go straight 8 hours of heavy use until it gets to 30%. Even so. I decided to return the device this morning. Before i did that I compared selfie and main cameras on my 3 generations ago without a doubt the S25Ultra had the poorest performance. I went ahead and switched brand which i cannot mention on the review here. I hope they pull it off with the S26ultra. I will be trying it at the store before purchasing anything. Start innovating. Bring back Bluetooth connectivity to the Spen. Bring back punchy beautiful display colors. Better sensors that wont relay on software. Better selfie camera. I want to see my true skin tone not a powedered person. I hope that helps.
