The phone seems to be a fairly nice device, the sound quality is excellent, the reception is better than my last Samsung phone, the camera takes excellent photos but I've already had several instances where it failed and had to be reset, much better than my old S9 phone. I feel the phone could use a whole lot less bloatware, it just gets in the way and wastes space and resources. I was impressed with the migration from the old device, it went very smoothly and I haven't found any problems so far. There were some things that didn't transfer but that is expected. I was very disappointed with the phone not coming with a charger and cable. For the cost, this is a very big irritant. Once I have the time to figure everything out I might have to change my review but satisfied so far.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The phone is smaller than my previous S22 Ultra, but otherwise is better.
Would have given 5 stars for sure if not for the set up issues. Annoying apps installed without my permission and a lot of additional setup steps with Google and Samsung implanted, alone to make them more money.

I have been a loyal Samsung user for many years now. I have been wanting the S24 Ultra for some time. When the 25 came out for such an amazing price, I grabbed it and could not have been happier! I love using the pen as I have always "fat fingered" on the key board. The camera is amazing and takes beautiful pictures. I'm super satisfied with my purchase! Thank you, Samsung! Sincerely, A very happy and loyal customer

Upgraded from the galaxy S22 ultra to this galaxy S25 ultra. I'm very pleased with the increased durability. The other features are about the same. The camera, is of course, very good quality. The telephoto lens seems to want to autofocus a bit more, maybe this setting can be turned off. I always put the protective screen, over the front glass, this seems to still mess with the fingerprint scan. Facial recognition is still very accurate. With normal weekday use, the phone battery lasts into the fourth day.

Upgrade from S22 Ultra to S25 Ultra is a big improvement on battery usage. Camera upgrade also is a nice added feature.

For the price, it doesn't do much more, or anything better than my S20 Ultra.
