[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is a cheat code for any task you're facing. The addition of Gemini AI makes light work of anything you ask of it. The level of intelligence and responsiveness dwarfs other competing household AIs. The speakers are noticeably louder and clearer than the Note 9 this upgrade replaced. It truly is an upgrade in every way possible. The camera takes beautiful crisp images and records videos that really encapsulates the moments you are capturing. The battery lasts days before you will need to recharge. The screen is large and easy to work with, as is the keyboard I am using to type this out. I haven't got a single negative thing to say about this device. I paired the Galaxy Bud 3 Pros and the quality and depth of sound will please any audiophile. Samsung knocked it outta the park again with this one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Galaxy S25 Ultra is a beast—insane camera, Galaxy AI magic, and tough enough to survive without a case.

I was excited to recieve my Samsung S25 phone, fhinking there wiuld be new features. Instrad I realized 3 of my favorites are gone: 1- stylus camera remote- if the stylus is nolonger blue tooth, why is the buttonostill there? samsung removed the functionality and left the hardware in place
2- detailed location information on photographs- I never needed to write down where a photo was takenusong my S22 ultra because on the details, I would alhave an exact street address. Now, it only give city level detail. give it back! 3. auto rotate - seriously, you took this away? sometimws the rotate icon will show up allowing me to make the screen rotate but it doesn't always show up. there is no setting anymore for autorotate. I have always looked forwrd to updgrafing my samsung phone, but I think I'll be looking at a new brand next time for fear of what else samsung will remove. 4- when taking photos now, the default is inages in the background are blurry. I haven't investigated enough to see if there is a setting to turn this off.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my phone for reading-ebooks, newspapers, magazines, manuals, technical manuals, etc.
I have tried Galaxy AI but I am not a heavy user...yet. lol
I use my phone to document, to zoom in, to record animals, buy groceries, eat at a restaurant, learn.
The S25 Ultra is a but faster than the S21 Ultra I had previously but short of that I haven't registered any major difference yet.

Its bright, fluid display makes browsing, gaming, and streaming enjoyable, while the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor ensures smooth multitasking and fast performance across apps.

Samsung’s new ProVisual Engine, powered by Galaxy AI, enhances colors and textures for more natural and professional-quality photos. The zoom capabilities also feel more advanced, making the phone ideal for photography and content creation. What sets the S25 Ultra apart is Galaxy AI. From smart summaries and productivity shortcuts to seamless task automation, these features genuinely make the phone feel like a helpful assistant.

Performance is top notch.
on August 17, 2025
Posted by: 2Tall21
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S25 ultra is a boss in performance Im not a gamer but I use it for everything else and then some. I am somewhat disappointed in the s pen downgrade. I used the Bluetooth feature quite a lot on the note 20 model when taken photos. I was pretty bummed out when I tried to use it just to find out that feature had been dropped this year. Even more heartbreaking was expecting a best in class camera, and getting quality and performance closer to that of a 35mm Kodak wind up However I do love the "Galaxy AI" integration and use it multiple times throughout the course of my day. I guess all in all I feel taken and wish i would've gotten the fold.

Love the phone
on August 22, 2025
Posted by: DWILLS
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I love my galaxy s25 ultra. Sometimes it does tend to lag on certain apps or while connecting Bluetooth to something. I have had times where after having it connected in my car then get out and go walk around places and go to look at my phone and my screen will be black with a backlight.. then shut the screen back off then back on and it's fine. So, idk. A glitch I guess. Overall though, I love the speed and that its easy to use and navigate.
