Everytime i buy a new phone it costs more and delivers less. They took the Bluetooth out if the S Pen. First they took my ability to change a battery, then they took the headphone jack, then the sd card slot. That's it. I'm done.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The stupidest thing that Samsung could've done is remove the Bluetooth feature from the SPen. As a content creator, that's the sole reason I buy the Ultra. Will be replacing.

Back to nonsense

Awful camera, the far is so horrible, and it is a ridiculous that cannot have the smart pen as the 23th version. Everything was even better on the S23 Ultra even the speed, this 25th version has a lot of glitches.

Not worth extra money
on March 2, 2025
Posted by: Galaxytruereviewer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and unfortunately, it’s been a letdown. The design even though changed, not worth the extra money you are paying for this. The camera, which was supposed to be the standout feature, is incredibly inconsistent. Sometimes it takes great shots, but other times, it struggles to focus or overexposes, especially in low-light conditions. The battery life is also same as s24 ultra.
The performance is decent, but it doesn’t feel as smooth or fast as some of its competitors in the same price range. The software experience is cluttered with bloatware, and the interface can feel sluggish at times. For the price, I expected much better overall quality and reliability. Honestly, it feels like an overpriced phone that falls short in too many areas. Would not recommend. Will post a full youtube review soon.

HUGE regret
on March 17, 2025
Posted by: Shayon
from Seattle
Expertise:Expert
I traded this a month back with my S23Ultra and I so regret it. Samsung had quietly removed the most important S-pen feature of Bluetooth and now my S-pen is virtually useless without me not able to do air actions or using it to remotely control my camera. The overall features are not significantly different from S23Ultra, so I feel it's a downgrade for me and wish I could go back to S23 Ultra.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

S25 ULTRA WIFI ISSUES
on March 18, 2025
Posted by: SADSAMSUNGUSER
Expertise:Expert
I'm very sad to have to give this review, but I am at my wits end. This phone with its faulty wifi software and/or hardware is nearly unusable. I'm not the best tech guy, but I know how to get around network configuration and testing. This phone will drop wifi every couple minutes. This makes it really hard to be on any app at home. If it wasn't for this, this phone easily would be 4 or 5 stars. But this is a MAJOR problem. Never thought I'd have this kind of issue with an ULTRA phone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
