Terrible phone
on April 2, 2025

I love Samsung but I have some major issues with the phones. First thing is the screen glare and brightness are definitely not what they say. Even in cloudy skies the screen is almost unusable even with all the settings turned all the way up. The glare is not as bad as the s23 ultra but still terrible. It has to be dark to even see the screen. Second thing is the camera. DO NOT SAY THE CAMERA TAKES GREAT PICTURES. The s23 ultra took way better pictures at night and low light. The zoom is a joke. I can't zoom in more than 10x before it gets so grainy and will not focus at all. My suggestion is do not put out another phone until you fix the issues with the current one. Because I will not waste my money on another phone and if you don't then it's goodbye Samsung.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always get the Galaxy S Ultra series and this is the best one, yet. The Galaxy AI features are ridiculously good. The gaming is amazing. The camera is phenomenal. I highly recommend this phone.

No features as good as my S23 Ultra
on December 5, 2025
Posted by: wolfatdoor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No "Director" on Camera App.
I only use it as a backup and test phone.
And of course, I don't expect anything from this review.
And it now will be a long time before I get another phone.
So just keep the down grading firmware updates coming that will maybe even make my glorified S23 worthless. This could help me decide to go to some other manufacturer.

Data grabbing JUNK!
on October 30, 2025

I’m beyond fed up with phones that don’t have removable batteries. We’ve taken massive steps backward. I feel like I’m back in the bag phone era — dragging around a power bank like an umbilical cord just to stay connected. This isn’t convenience; it’s a design disaster. You’ve stripped away user control just to harvest data and force dependence on your ecosystem. I’m done with it. Until you start giving power back to the user — literally and figuratively — I won’t buy another one of these tethered battery-box phones.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello there, thank you for sharing your thoughts about your Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra with us. We know how important specific features of a device are to you every day. If you are looking to be able to change the battery of your device on the go rather than using a portable battery pack, the Samsung Galaxy XCover series of devices have this feature, where the battery can be removed and changed. We have shared a link to the Samsung Support Team if you have questions about this specific device. We appreciate you being a Samsung customer. -Elizabeth Samsung Support smsng.us/Samsung-Support Samsung Community smsng.us/Samsung-Community Facebook smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger X https://smsng.us/X-Messages

The Biggest Disappointment is no bluetooth SPen. I purchase phones mainly for the camera and I have a shaking hand. I used it on almost every selfie and when I need to take a picture with no one to shoot it.
