I recently upgraded to the Galaxy S25 Ultra 512GB, and it has genuinely exceeded my expectations in ways I didn’t anticipate. As someone who pays close attention to long term performance and real-world usability, this device has impressed me from day one.
The design feels premium without being flashy, and the balance in the hand is noticeably better than previous models. The display is on another level bright, sharp, and incredibly smooth. What stood out most to me, though, is the camera system. The improvements in low-light performance, clarity, and zoom stability are very real. Photos come out crisp and natural even when I’m shooting quickly.
Performance has been flawless so far. Apps open instantly, multitasking is seamless, and the battery comfortably lasts me through a heavy workday without worry. The extra storage (512GB) was absolutely worth it. I can shoot high-resolution photos and videos without constantly thinking about space.
Overall, this is one of those rare products that feels built for the future, not just for right now. I’m looking forward to seeing how it continues to perform over time, and I’d be happy to share more long-term insights if Samsung ever invites me to provide extended feedback.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants the best Samsung has to offer.
Seamless transfer of information from previous phone.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Flop

I purchased this on pre order. I'll be returning this phone immediately. The phone has extreme overheating issues during charging. It's even overheating not charging or running any background apps while sitting on my couch. The battery also dies ridiculously fast. I'm disappointed because the phone is so expensive but also because I love the design of this phone. I absolutely love the swap back to a flat screen and edges. Hand feel is great. Ive had one of every new Samsung with the exception of 2 since my original s4 and I've never returned one or even been disappointed. Very sad.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The S25 Ultra is the ultimate phone
on February 27, 2025
Posted by: TemptedMouse
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra feels refined. The phone feels fresh and new along with its new features and AI. The AI adapting to your daily routine is seamless and connects perfectly with other apps and Samsung products in my home. The Now brief is so cool and creates a nice addition to my daily routines. I use the AI for weather, calendar events, reminder, smart devices and so much more. The functionality of the pen makes things like note taking or precise edits to documents, images, or mocs so much easier.

Lost what's important to me
on May 24, 2025
Posted by: Revgal
Expertise:Intermediate
As a long time Galaxy user, this model is a dissapointment! - taking a screenshot doesn’t always work, asking Bixby to do it makes him repeat your request - subtle notification sounds are gone, they are longer and annoying - importing contacts puts them in folders - right lower button makes it easy to disconnect phone calls! - emergency number accidentally gets pressed with some apps! - bring back led notifications! - battery percentage is too small to read
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Terrible camera 10x zooming and fake moon zooming
on June 20, 2025
Posted by: Houssam1980
Terrible camera zoom like the s23 ultra I have. I tried the 10x zoom on the S25 ultra and its blurry, unclear and out of focus and it ruined many many videos I try to take. ... I dont recommend Samsung anymore specially that they bluff people about the moon zooming and it turned out its a disgusting software trick and not an actual zoom!! .... shame on you and remove these 3 cameras and keep one because the rest two are not functional!!
