[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Switching to the Galaxy S25 Ultra has genuinely elevated my day-to-day life more than I expected. The first thing I noticed was the incredible display—bright, smooth, and easy on the eyes—which makes everything from checking emails to watching videos feel more enjoyable. The improved battery life has been a huge relief as well; I can get through a full day of work, errands, and streaming without worrying about finding a charger.
The new camera system has probably made the biggest impact. I’ve found myself taking more photos and videos because it captures moments so effortlessly, even in tricky lighting. It’s become my go-to device for everything—from quick snapshots to more polished shots for social media.
Performance-wise, it’s fast, responsive, and handles multitasking like a champ. Whether I’m navigating between apps or using productivity tools for work, the S25 Ultra keeps everything running smoothly. Even small things—like the improved S-Pen features and smarter AI tools—have made staying organized and getting things done feel easier and more intuitive.
Overall, the Galaxy S25 Ultra hasn’t just been an upgrade; it’s streamlined my routine, boosted my productivity, and made everyday tasks more enjoyable. Highly recommended.
I purchased this because my inside screen messed up after 45 days on my Galaxy Fold 7 and I didn't want to mess with it so I saw a Black Friday sale and grabbed a 512Gig S25 Ultra and love it!. I previously have had every generation of Ultras from the S23 back to all the Note series and this one doesn't disappoint. I love the fact that it's unlocked and I can join the Beta program. Don't hesitate to get one of these if the price is right because it's an amazing phone!
I don't like the Google message that does not have a shortcut. Battery dies fast.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

To be honest, it's uncomfortable to use at all. The battery is dying quickly. This is not the Samsung I was once in love with.

This phone is a Downgrade not an Upgrade
on January 18, 2026
Posted by: Blah
No Bluetooth functions on S pen make it useless junk. Not worth the upgrade. Been using Samsung since the galaxy s3 and one of my favorite upgrades in the later years was the functional s pen. Now it's useless and I'm regretting my upgrade. I rate the phone a 2 out of 10 only because it looks nice but overall its really a downgrade from my s23. The battery, camera, display, Bluetooth S pen and all other functions of my s23 ultra were way better than what I now have with the s25 ultra.

Nothing faster than my s22... Nothing looks better... Not the cameras... The screen... The speed... The AI.... Literally the same phone..... Umm.... I think they made some upgrades that don't change the user experience. Unnoticeable. Charge you a ton of money. And I'm my opinion, and in this economy I'm having buyers remorse already.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
